Overview
Moving from Spiro to Monday.com CRM is a platform replacement that trades Spiro's AI-driven proactive data capture for Monday.com's board-based workflow flexibility and broader integration ecosystem. Spiro has no publicly documented REST API, so all data export requires coordination with a Customer Success Manager to enable Data Collector and provision a Dropbox folder destination — adding 3-5 business days to the migration timeline. We map Spiro's Companies to Monday.com CRM Organizations, Contacts to Contact records, and Opportunities to Deals with Spiro stage names reconciled against Monday.com status column values. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrates as subitems or items with type, date, owner, and notes columns rather than a native activity timeline, since Monday.com's CRM does not include a dedicated activity log object. Attachment URLs stored in Spiro are resolved and re-linked in Monday.com; if Spiro workspace access is revoked post-migration, those links break unless files were pre-downloaded. Monday.com automations, sequences, and reporting rebuilds do not migrate as code — we deliver a written inventory of every Spiro automation and Monday.com automation-equivalent for your admin to rebuild post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Spiro 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.
Spiro
Company
monday CRM
Organization (CRM board)
1:1Spiro Company records map to Monday.com CRM Organizations, which are built on a dedicated CRM board. We extract company name, address fields, domain, and any custom Company fields from Spiro's schema (confirmed via CSM before migration) and map them to Organization name, location columns, and custom columns on the CRM board. If Spiro stores multiple addresses per Company, we preserve the primary address and add secondary addresses as subitems or multi-line text columns.
Spiro
Contact
monday CRM
Contact (CRM board)
1:1Spiro Contacts migrate to Monday.com CRM Contacts on the same CRM board as Organizations. Standard fields (name, email, phone, title, company link) map directly. Custom Contact fields from Spiro (confirmed via CSM) are recreated as Monday.com column types: text fields, date columns, dropdown selects, or checkbox columns depending on the source data type. Contact-Organization linking is preserved via Monday.com's people column or a reference column pointing to the Organization item.
Spiro
Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal (CRM board)
1:1Spiro Opportunities map to Monday.com CRM Deals. Deal value maps to a number column, close date to a date column, and stage to a status column. Spiro stage names are reconciled against Monday.com status column values during scoping — if the destination has no matching status label, we create one or map to the closest equivalent and flag the discrepancy. Owner assignment maps to the Monday.com team member assigned to the Deal item.
Spiro
Custom Fields (Companies, Contacts, Opportunities)
monday CRM
Custom Columns
lossySpiro custom field definitions must be obtained from Spiro's CSM or extracted from the UI because there is no self-service API endpoint for the schema. We recreate each custom field as a Monday.com column type before importing data. Supported column types include text, numbers, date, dropdown, checkbox, email, phone, URL, location, and rating. Complex Spiro picklists become Monday.com dropdown columns with values migrated verbatim.
Spiro
Activity: Email
monday CRM
Subitem or Item on Activity board
lossyMonday.com CRM does not have a native activity log object. We store email history as subitems under the relevant Contact or Organization item, using a subitem type column, date column, notes column, and a person column for the owner. Email body content migrates as a long-text note. Alternatively, for high-volume activity histories, we create a separate Activity board and link each activity subitem to the Contact or Organization via an connect boards column.
Spiro
Activity: Call
monday CRM
Subitem or Item on Activity board
lossyCall records from Spiro (disposition, duration, notes) migrate as subitems under Contact or Organization using a subitem type column set to 'Call', a date column for the call timestamp, a number column for duration, and a notes column for disposition and content. Owner is assigned via the person column. This approach preserves the chronological activity timeline within the Monday.com board structure.
Spiro
Activity: Meeting
monday CRM
Subitem or Item on Activity board
lossyMeeting records migrate as subitems with a meeting type marker, start and end datetime columns, a location text column, and attendee information stored as a people column or free-text note. We preserve the meeting title in the subitem name field. If the Spiro meeting includes notes or outcome text, this migrates as a notes column.
Spiro
Activity: Note
monday CRM
Note on Activity board
1:1Spiro Notes linked to Contacts or Companies migrate as subitems with a note type marker, a date column for the creation timestamp, and the note body as a long-text notes column. We attach the original note author via the person column. If the note references any files, those attachment URLs are flagged for re-linking in Monday.com.
Spiro
User / Owner
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1Spiro user records map to Monday.com workspace members. We match by email address and assign the corresponding Monday.com member to Contact, Organization, Deal, and Activity items. Any Spiro Owner without a matching Monday.com user is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Inactive Spiro users are mapped to inactive Monday.com members with activity records flagged for reassignment.
Spiro
Pipeline / Stage
monday CRM
Status Column on Deal board
lossySpiro Opportunity stage names map to Monday.com status column values on the Deals board. During scoping, we collect all distinct Spiro stage names and create matching Monday.com status options. Spiro stage probability values are not natively supported in Monday.com's status column; if the customer requires stage probabilities for forecasting, we document this gap and recommend a number column to track probability or a reporting-level workaround.
Spiro
Attachment (file reference)
monday CRM
File upload or URL column
1:1Spiro stores attachments as linked URLs rather than embedded files. We verify each URL is reachable before migration and re-link them in Monday.com either as a URL column pointing to the original source (if the source remains accessible) or by downloading and re-uploading the file to Monday.com native storage (converting the link to a Monday.com-hosted file). If the Spiro workspace is revoked post-migration, any attachment links that were not re-uploaded become orphaned.
Spiro
Tag
monday CRM
Tag
1:1Spiro tags on Contacts and Companies map to Monday.com tags on the corresponding items. Tags are preserved verbatim. If the same tag appears across multiple record types in Spiro, we apply it consistently to the migrated Monday.com items.

Migration approach
Discovery and CSM coordination
We conduct a full audit of the Spiro workspace: Companies, Contacts, Opportunities, custom field definitions, activity volume by type, user count, pipeline stage names, and attachment URLs. Simultaneously, we coordinate with Spiro's Customer Success Manager to enable Data Collector and provision the Dropbox export folder. We also confirm the target Monday.com CRM workspace, existing board structure, and available team members. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, a field mapping table, and a CSM timeline that estimates the 3-5 business days needed for Data Collector activation.
Schema recreation in Monday.com
We pre-build the Monday.com CRM structure before importing any data. This includes creating the Organizations board (with custom columns matching Spiro's Company custom fields), the Contacts board (with custom columns matching Spiro's Contact custom fields), and the Deals board (with status column values matching Spiro's Opportunity stages). We create any additional activity boards and configure the column types — text, number, date, dropdown, people, location — to match the source data types extracted from Spiro. All schema work happens in a staging workspace before production migration begins.
Data extraction and deduplication
We run the Spiro Data Collector export to the Dropbox folder and download the full dataset. We perform a deduplication pass: Spiro Companies with duplicate legal entity names are merged with a primary record kept; Spiro Contacts with duplicate email addresses are consolidated. We normalize address formats, phone number formats, and any inconsistent date values. The clean dataset is staged in a CSV format compatible with Monday.com's column mapping interface for test import. This phase also includes verifying that all attachment URLs are reachable and flagging any that return errors.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a test import into a staging Monday.com workspace using a subset of the cleaned dataset (typically 10-20% of records). We verify column mapping accuracy, check that Organization-Contact linking is preserved, confirm Deal stage values appear in the status column, and spot-check activity subitems for correct owner assignment and date ordering. We deliver a reconciliation report to the customer's admin with record counts and any mapping discrepancies. Corrections to column type assignments, status value names, or owner matching are made before the production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: team members first (validated against Monday.com user list), Organizations next (as the parent of Contacts), Contacts with Organization links resolved, Deals with status column values and owner assignments, then activity subitems (emails, calls, meetings, notes) as linked subitems under the relevant Contact or Organization items. Attachment files are either re-uploaded to Monday.com or re-linked via URL column based on the customer's choice and the accessibility of the original file. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze writes to the Spiro workspace during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration, then mark the Monday.com workspace as the system of record. We deliver a post-migration validation report comparing record counts between the Spiro export and Monday.com import. We provide a written inventory of every Spiro automation or AI signal that requires a Monday.com equivalent rebuild, along with suggested automation trigger conditions. We do not rebuild automations as code; that work is handled by the customer's admin or a Monday.com implementation partner.
