Overview
Moving from Spotler CRM to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration that trades a purpose-built small-business CRM for a board-based work management platform with a lightweight CRM layer. Spotler stores Contacts linked to Companies, Opportunities carrying pipeline stage and deal value, and Activities attached to records. Monday.com CRM represents these as board Items with column configurations rather than typed database objects, which means Spotler's relational schema must be flattened and re-expressed as columns and groups in Monday's board architecture. We export Spotler's object tables via API or CSV, translate pipeline stage names to Monday status columns, recreate custom fields as typed columns (text, number, date, dropdown), and load records into CRM boards by resolving parent-company references before contact import. Workflows, Quotations, Cases, and SLA rules carry business logic and do not migrate; we document each one for your admin to rebuild post-migration. Two-way MailSync configuration does not transfer and must be re-connected in Monday.com separately.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Spotler CRM 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.
Spotler CRM
Contact
monday CRM
Contact (CRM board Item)
1:1Spotler Contacts map directly to Monday.com CRM Contact items. We use email address as the dedupe key. Each Contact item is created with columns mapped from Spotler fields (first name, last name, email, phone, job title). The Spotler company_id foreign key is resolved by matching the related Company name to a pre-created Monday Company item, and the resolved company is stored in a Company link column on the Contact item.
Spotler CRM
Company
monday CRM
Company (CRM board Item)
1:1Spotler Company records map to Monday.com CRM Company items using company name as the primary identifier and domain as a secondary dedupe check. Industry, size, address, and any custom company fields are recreated as typed columns in Monday. Company is imported before Contact so that the company link column on Contact items can be resolved at insert time.
Spotler CRM
Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal (CRM board Item)
1:1Spotler Opportunities map to Monday.com CRM Deal items. The pipeline stage name from Spotler is translated to a Monday Status column value (Lead, Qualified, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed Won, Closed Lost). Deal value, expected close date, and Owner email are mapped to Deal Amount, Expected Close Date, and Owner columns respectively. Spotler pipeline names are preserved in a text column for reference during reconciliation.
Spotler CRM
Pipeline
monday CRM
Status column + Board groups
lossySpotler's pipeline configuration (named pipelines with ordered stages) is reconstructed in Monday.com CRM as a combination of the Status column values and Group-by-Status board views. We collect the full list of Spotler pipeline names and stage labels during discovery and recreate them as a Monday CRM board with a Status column containing the exact stage names from Spotler. Probability percentages per stage are stored as a separate number column for reporting.
Spotler CRM
Activity (Tasks, Calls, Meetings, Notes)
monday CRM
Update or Subitem on Contact/Company/Deal Item
1:manySpotler Activities are exported with their type (task, call, meeting, note), date, duration, description, and related record ID. Calls and meetings are recreated as Subitems on the related Contact or Company item with date, duration, and outcome fields. Tasks are recreated as Subitems with due date and status. Notes are added as Item Updates (the native activity feed on Monday items) with the note body preserved as plain text. The related record is resolved by matching the Spotler contact_id or company_id to the Monday Item ID.
Spotler CRM
Custom Fields and Dropdown Lists
monday CRM
Typed columns (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox)
lossySpotler custom fields and their dropdown list definitions are exported from Settings alongside the data export. We recreate each field as a Monday CRM board column of the matching type: text fields become text columns, numbers become number columns, dates become date columns, and dropdown lists become dropdown columns with the Spotler list values recreated as Monday column options. We flag any Spotler fields with no Monday equivalent (such as multi-checkbox fields) and map them to a multi-select text column or a linked sub-board.
Spotler CRM
Quotation
monday CRM
Subitem or linked Item on Deal
1:1Spotler Quotations (available on Professional and Enterprise plans) carry line items, pricing, and status. We export quotation records and line items as a separate table and recreate them as Subitems on the parent Deal Item in Monday CRM, with columns for product name, quantity, unit price, and total. Quotation PDFs are stored as file attachments on the Subitem. If quotation status tracking is required, we add a Status column scoped to the quotation sub-board.
Spotler CRM
Case (Service Ticket)
monday CRM
Item in separate Service board
1:1Spotler Cases (Professional and Enterprise) carry priority, status, assignment, and linked Contact. We export cases as individual records and recreate them as Items in a Monday CRM Service board, mapping case priority to a Priority column, status to a Status column, and assignee to an Owner column. Case conversations migrate as Updates on the Item. SLA fields are recreated as date columns (First Response Due, Resolution Due) with manual enforcement since Monday does not have native SLA monitoring.
Spotler CRM
Owner
monday CRM
Team Member
1:1Spotler Owners are resolved by email match against Monday.com team members. We extract every distinct owner email from Contact, Company, Deal, and Activity records during discovery and match them against the destination Monday.com workspace members. Any Owner without a matching team member is placed in a reconciliation queue, and the customer's admin provisions the missing team member before record import begins.
Spotler CRM
Tag
monday CRM
Tag or Label column
1:1Spotler tags applied to Contacts are exported as a tag list per contact record. Tags are recreated as Monday Tags on the Contact item. If a Spotler tag is used for segmentation logic (such as a segment membership flag), we add a Label column with the tag name as a single-option value for reporting purposes.

Migration approach
Discovery and board design
We audit Spotler CRM across objects in scope (Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, Activities, Custom Fields, Quotations, Cases, Tags, Owners, and Documents), collect pipeline stage names, dropdown list values, and workflow inventory, and produce a record count baseline for reconciliation. In parallel, we design the Monday.com CRM board structure: a Contacts board, a Companies board, a Deals pipeline board, and optionally a Service board for Cases. We define column types per field, configure the Status column with Spotler pipeline stage values, and set up Group-by-Status views. The discovery output is a written scope document and Monday.com board configuration plan.
Data extraction and transformation
We extract Spotler object tables via the UI CSV export or API, including all standard fields, custom fields, and dropdown value IDs. We run the Spotler dropdown value definitions through a transformation map that converts each Spotler dropdown option label to a Monday dropdown column option. Pipeline stages are mapped to Monday Status values. Activities are exported with their related record IDs, and company_id references are retained so we can resolve the Company Item for each Contact. The extracted data is staged in a transformation environment with data quality checks: duplicate detection on email, missing required field flagging, and date format normalisation.
Sandbox test migration and reconciliation
We create a test CRM board in Monday.com and run a migration of a representative data sample (minimum 50 records per object) to validate column mapping, Status value assignment, and relationship resolution (Company links on Contacts, Owner email-to-team-member mapping). The customer reviews the test board, validates record accuracy, and signs off before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections are made at this stage. We specifically validate that pipeline stage names appear correctly in the Monday Status column and that dropdown values are not silently truncated.
Document staging
We calculate total document volume from Spotler document metadata and compare it against the destination Monday.com workspace storage allowance. Documents exceeding the storage limit are flagged for customer provisioning. We stage document downloads in batches of 200 files, preserving filename, upload date, linked record ID, and file size. Document re-upload happens post-record migration as a separate batched phase to avoid mixing file transfers with data load operations.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (as anchor records), then Contacts with resolved company links, then Deals with Status, Amount, and Owner columns, then Activities as Subitems or Updates, then Quotations as Deal Subitems, then Cases as Service board Items, then Tags. Owner resolution is validated before each phase: any Spotler Owner without a Monday.com team member match is held in the reconciliation queue until the admin provisions the user. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next begins.
Cutover, validation, and Workflow handoff
We freeze Spotler CRM writes during cutover, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver a Workflow and SLA inventory document listing every Spotler automation with trigger, conditions, and recommended Monday.com automation recipe equivalent. We do not rebuild Spotler Workflows as Monday.com automations inside the migration scope. We support a one-week post-migration hypercare window where we resolve any record-level reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
