Overview
SuiteDash stores custom field data across six distinct scopes: Contact, Company Public, Company Private, Organization, Staff, and Project. Monday.com CRM uses a unified board-and-column structure with no equivalent scope hierarchy. Converting from SuiteDash requires flattening multi-scope custom fields into Monday's column model, mapping Companies to Organizations, Contacts to People items, Deals to board items with status columns, and Projects to separate boards with task hierarchies. We preserve deal stage history, ticket status logs, and the original SuiteDash custom field scope assignment as migration metadata so the customer's admin can set appropriate visibility rules in Monday. SuiteDash automations, white-label configurations, and invoice workflows do not migrate; we document these for manual rebuild.
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 SuiteDash 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.
SuiteDash
Contact
monday CRM
People Item
1:1SuiteDash Contact records map to Monday.com People items. All Contact-scope custom fields map directly to columns on the People board. We preserve the contact's email address as the primary identifier and resolve any Company linkage by matching the SuiteDash company_id to the Monday Organization record created from the SuiteDash Company object.
SuiteDash
Company
monday CRM
Organization
1:1SuiteDash Company records map to Monday.com Organizations. The Company Public custom fields become Organization columns. We handle the Company Private fields separately: these are flagged during scoping as requiring either a custom column with restricted visibility rules in Monday or storage as an internal note on the Organization record, because Monday's column model does not enforce Primary Contact-only visibility.
SuiteDash
Deal
monday CRM
Item (Deals Board)
1:1SuiteDash Deal records map to items on a dedicated Monday Deals board. The deal name becomes the item name, deal amount maps to a Number column, and the SuiteDash pipeline stage maps to a Status column group. We preserve the original stage order and probability percentages as migration metadata for the customer's admin to assign probabilities to each Monday status value post-migration.
SuiteDash
Deal Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Status Column Group
lossyEach named pipeline in SuiteDash becomes a separate Monday board or a separate Status column pattern on a single Deals board. We capture the stage sequence and probability mapping from SuiteDash and deliver a written recommendation for how to configure Monday Status values to match the original deal flow. Probability percentages do not map automatically in Monday and require manual column setup.
SuiteDash
Project
monday CRM
Board + Items
1:1SuiteDash Project records map to separate Monday boards with the Project name as the board name. Project-level custom fields become board columns. Tasks within the Project become Items with subitems for the task hierarchy. We export Projects and their associated Tasks as a linked set, preserving parent-child relationships and Project-level custom field values as board-level metadata.
SuiteDash
Support Ticket
monday CRM
Item (Support Board)
1:1SuiteDash Support Ticket records map to items on a dedicated Monday Support board. The ticket status maps to a Status column, ticket priority maps to a Priority or Labels column, and conversation threads migrate as item updates or subitems. We map ticket statuses to the nearest Monday Status values and flag any workflow-driven status logic that requires manual rebuild in Monday's automation builder.
SuiteDash
Staff Member
monday CRM
User
1:1SuiteDash Staff records map to Monday.com User accounts. Owner and assignee references on Deals, Projects, and Tickets resolve to the mapped User record by email match. Staff-level custom fields become User profile fields or custom columns on a Staff board. Any Staff record without a matching Monday User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import continues.
SuiteDash
Invoice
monday CRM
Item (Read-Only Board)
1:1SuiteDash Invoice records with a paid or historical status migrate as read-only items on a dedicated Invoices board in Monday. Line items, payment status, and Invoice Custom Fields are preserved as columns. Active or pending invoices require additional configuration in Monday or a third-party billing integration. SuiteDash Invoice Custom Fields are discovered separately via Invoice API endpoints and do not appear in the standard CRM field schema.
SuiteDash
Organization Custom Fields
monday CRM
Organization Columns
1:1SuiteDash Organization-scoped custom fields map to Organization-level columns in Monday. These are account-wide fields visible to all users and are the closest Monday equivalent to SuiteDash's Organization scope.
SuiteDash
Tag
monday CRM
Labels or Tags Column
lossySuiteDash tags on Contacts and Companies migrate as Labels on Monday People items or as text entries in a Tags column. The customer chooses the target format during scoping. Tags used for segmentation map to Monday Labels; tags used for categorization map to a multi-select Labels column.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and plan tier verification
We audit the customer's SuiteDash account across plan tier, object counts (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Projects, Tickets, Invoices), custom field schema at each scope, active automation count, and data modification patterns. We confirm the plan tier immediately because API access is gated to Pinnacle. If the customer is on Start or Thrive, we discuss the CSV fallback approach and any limitations before agreeing on scope. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering record counts, field mapping, and board design.
Board schema design in Monday.com
We design the Monday.com board structure based on the customer's SuiteDash object model. This includes a People board (Contacts and Company associations), an Organizations board (Companies with Public and Organization-scoped fields), a Deals board with Status columns mapping to the original pipeline stages, a Projects board with task subitems, and a Support board with status columns. We flag all Company Private fields and confirm handling with the customer before the board schema is finalized. Schema is validated in a Monday.com test workspace before production migration begins.
Test batch migration and reconciliation
We run a test migration with a representative sample of records across all object types. The customer reconciles the output: record counts match source counts, field values are correctly mapped, and lookup relationships (Contacts to Companies, Deals to Owners) resolve correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in the test phase. We do not proceed to full production migration until the customer signs off on the test batch reconciliation report.
Full production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from Companies), People (from Contacts with Organization lookup resolved), Deals (with Owner and Organization lookups resolved), Projects and subitems, Support Tickets, Staff mapping to Users, and historical Invoices. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Monday.com's API with batch chunking and exponential backoff to handle rate limits, and we monitor complexity cost headers to avoid throttling.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff
We freeze SuiteDash writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then set Monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Automation Audit Report and the Invoice configuration recommendations to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild SuiteDash automations in Monday as part of the migration scope; that is documented separately for the customer's admin to handle as a manual rebuild.
