Overview
Moving from SoulCRM to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration across fundamentally different architectures. SoulCRM follows a traditional object model with Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities as separate database tables. Monday.com CRM uses a board-based Work OS where all entities live as items within customizable boards with typed columns. We extract SoulCRM data via CSV exports from each module, clean and normalize field formats, and import into Monday.com boards in dependency order to preserve Company-to-Contact-to-Deal relationships. The absence of a SoulCRM public API means migration cannot use automated connectors; all record movement happens through Monday's REST API with rate-limit handling. We do not migrate SoulCRM workflows or marketing automations; we deliver a written inventory of every active rule for your admin to rebuild as Monday Recipes.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a SoulCRM object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
SoulCRM
Company
monday CRM
Organization
1:1SoulCRM Company records map to Monday.com CRM Organization items. The Company Name field maps to the Organization Name column, and domain data maps to the Website column if present. We import Organizations first to establish the parent reference for Contacts. Monday.com Organizations use a flat table structure, so any hierarchical parent-company relationship in SoulCRM requires a separate linked board configuration or manual grouping after migration.
SoulCRM
Contact
monday CRM
Person
1:1SoulCRM Contact records map to Monday.com CRM Person items. The contact email becomes the primary identifier column, and phone, address, and interaction fields map to corresponding text or phone number columns. We resolve the Organization lookup at migration time by matching the SoulCRM Company Name against the Monday.com Organization name to set the linked Organization column. SoulCRM Contact Owner assignments map to the Assignee column in Monday.com.
SoulCRM
Lead
monday CRM
Person (Lead status)
1:1SoulCRM Leads map to Monday.com CRM Person items with a Lead Status column value set to indicate unqualified status. The SoulCRM lead status and source fields map to Monday.com text or dropdown columns. We preserve any lead scoring values from SoulCRM custom fields as number columns in Monday.com for segmentation after migration.
SoulCRM
Deal
monday CRM
Deal
1:1SoulCRM Deals map directly to Monday.com CRM Deals. The Deal Name, Amount, Stage, Owner, and expected close date map to corresponding columns. We resolve the linked Organization and Person lookups by matching against the Monday.com records imported in prior phases. SoulCRM pipeline assignment maps to the Monday.com Deal Board pipeline column, and dealstage maps to the pipeline stage value.
SoulCRM
Activities (Email, Call, Meeting, Task)
monday CRM
Email & Activities Timeline
1:1SoulCRM Activities log as entries in the Monday.com CRM Email & Activities timeline on Person and Deal item cards. Email type maps to the email log format, call type to call log, meeting to meeting log, and task to task entries with completion status. The original activity timestamp and notes body migrate as activity timestamp and description fields. Monday.com CRM activity logging is sequential per item, so we batch imports and apply exponential backoff to respect API rate limits.
SoulCRM
Marketing Campaigns
monday CRM
Campaign
1:1SoulCRM Marketing Campaign records with name, type, dates, and budget migrate to Monday.com CRM Campaign items. Campaign membership linking Contacts and Leads to campaigns maps to Monday.com tags on Person items or a separate Campaign membership board with linked items. We document the campaign membership associations during scoping and recreate them as tag assignments or linked board items during migration.
SoulCRM
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Columns
lossySoulCRM custom fields across all modules map to Monday.com board columns. India-specific fields such as GST identifiers map to text columns, regional categories to dropdown columns, and numeric custom fields to number columns. We review each SoulCRM custom field for active usage during scoping; deprecated fields with zero records are excluded. Monday.com column types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox) are selected to match the SoulCRM field type during import configuration.
SoulCRM
Attachments
monday CRM
Files
1:1SoulCRM file attachments linked to Contacts, Companies, or Deals migrate as files attached to the corresponding Monday.com Person, Organization, or Deal items. We extract binary blobs from SoulCRM CSV exports where embedded, or request the attachment directory from the customer, and re-upload via Monday.com file API. Folder hierarchy from SoulCRM may flatten in Monday.com, so we document original attachment paths for reference.
SoulCRM
Owner
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1SoulCRM Owner assignments on Contacts, Companies, and Deals map to Monday.com Team Member column values. We match SoulCRM owner email addresses to Monday.com user email addresses during migration. Any SoulCRM Owner without a matching Monday.com user goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record import completes.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
CSV extraction and discovery
We work with the customer to request CSV exports from SoulCRM for each module: Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities. We validate the CSV headers against SoulCRM's standard field schema and identify any non-standard or custom columns. We count record volumes per module, identify relationship dependencies (Contact-to-Company, Deal-to-Contact, Deal-to-Company), and flag any India-specific fields such as GST identifiers or regional categories that require column type mapping in Monday.com.
Monday.com board and column schema design
We create the Monday.com CRM boards (People, Organizations, Deals) before any data import. We configure board columns to match the SoulCRM field types and values, selecting appropriate column types (text, number, date, dropdown, link, assignee) for each field. We set up pipeline columns for Deals with stage values mapped from SoulCRM pipeline stages. We configure the Developer Center for any custom objects required.
Data normalization and transformation
We normalize SoulCRM data before import. This includes standardizing date formats, resolving NULL values, deduplicating records where SoulCRM has identified duplicates, and mapping SoulCRM picklist values to Monday.com dropdown option values. We apply the relationship resolution logic (Company lookup for Contacts, Organization and Person lookups for Deals) in this phase to prepare joined import files.
Import in dependency order with reconciliation
We import records into Monday.com CRM in dependency order: Organizations first (to establish the parent for Contacts), then People (Contacts and Leads with Organization link resolved), then Deals (with Person and Organization links resolved), then Activities (batched with exponential backoff), then attachments. Each phase emits a reconciliation report comparing imported record count against the source CSV row count. We resolve any discrepancies before proceeding to the next phase.
Cutover and validation
We freeze SoulCRM writes during the cutover window and run a final delta import for any records modified during the migration period. We validate record counts, spot-check field mapping accuracy against sample records, and confirm relationship integrity (that Contacts have correct Organization links, Deals have correct Person and Organization links). We do not migrate SoulCRM workflows; we deliver the automation inventory document to the customer for Monday.com Recipe rebuild.
Post-migration handoff
We support a one-week hypercare window after cutover to resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer team. We provide a written summary of the migration scope, record counts per phase, any skipped or archived data, and the automation inventory document. Monday.com board maintenance, Recipe creation, team onboarding, and ongoing admin configuration are outside standard migration scope and can be scoped as a separate engagement.
