Overview
Swivl Tech is a field-service management platform with CRM, scheduling, job-order, and invoicing capabilities built around a relational object graph. Monday CRM is a board-based Work OS where contacts, organizations, and deals are managed as items on customizable boards with column types replacing traditional CRM fields. FlitStack AI extracts Swivl data via its REST API — respecting rate limits per plan tier — and loads it into Monday's board structure using the monday.com API and column-type-aware imports. We map contacts to Monday People, organizations to Monday Organizations, deals to a Deals board, and jobs to a custom Work Orders board with custom columns for Swivl-specific fields like service_type, technician_id, ai_estimate, and location_data. Swivl workflows, scheduling rules, and automation logic do not migrate — Monday's automation infrastructure must be rebuilt. File attachments from Swivl become file attachments on Monday items. The migration sequences parent entities (organizations) before children (contacts) and deals before activities so Monday's board-based foreign-key references resolve correctly. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Swivl changes during the cutover.
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 Swivl Tech 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.
Swivl Tech
Contact
monday CRM
People (monday CRM)
1:1Swivl contact records migrate as monday CRM People items. Core fields including name, email address, phone number, job title, physical address, and lifecycle stage map directly to corresponding monday CRM column types. Owner assignment is resolved by matching the Swivl owner email against monday CRM user accounts. Any unmatched owners are flagged for team member invitation or fallback assignment.
Swivl Tech
Company
monday CRM
Organization (monday CRM)
1:1Swivl company records migrate as monday CRM Organizations. Standard fields including company name, website domain, industry classification, employee count, and annual revenue map to monday CRM Organization column types. Parent-child company hierarchies present in Swivl are replicated using monday CRM Organization Groups, preserving corporate structure relationships within the migrated workspace.
Swivl Tech
Deal
monday CRM
Deals Board (monday CRM)
1:1Swivl deals migrate as items on a monday CRM Deals board. Deal name, amount, stage, close date, and owner map to monday CRM column types (Text, Number, Status, Date, Person). Deal stage maps to a monday CRM Status column with custom labels matching Swivl's pipeline stages.
Swivl Tech
Job / Work Order
monday CRM
Work Orders Board (monday CRM)
1:1Swivl job records have no direct monday CRM equivalent — we create a custom Work Orders board with custom columns for service_type, job_status, technician_id, scheduled_date, ai_estimate, customer_address, site_notes, and other Swivl-specific fields. The job is linked to its related Contact and Organization via monday CRM's person and organization column types.
Swivl Tech
Invoice
monday CRM
Invoices Board (monday CRM)
1:1Swivl invoices migrate as items on a custom Invoices board. Invoice number, amount, status, due date, and associated contact/organization map to monday CRM column types. The invoice is linked to the corresponding Deal and Work Order items via monday CRM's item linking or Lookup column.
Swivl Tech
Schedule / Appointment
monday CRM
Schedule Board (monday CRM)
1:1Swivl scheduling records — appointment times, technician assignments, travel time, job duration — migrate as items on a custom Schedule board. Start and end times map to monday CRM Date columns; technician maps to a Person column; linked job maps via item linking.
Swivl Tech
Custom Field (global)
monday CRM
Custom Column (board-specific)
1:1Swivl custom fields such as ai_estimate, customer_location_latlong, site_access_code, and technician_skill_tags are evaluated individually for each target board during migration planning. Each board's item type receives the corresponding custom monday CRM column configured with the matching data type, whether Number, Text, Date, Location, Tags, or other supported column formats.
Swivl Tech
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File Column (monday CRM)
1:1File attachments stored in Swivl on job records, contact profiles, or invoices are downloaded from Swivl storage and re-uploaded to monday CRM File columns attached to the corresponding migrated items. Monday CRM enforces file size limits based on subscription plan — Standard and higher plans allow 25MB per file, while Basic accounts are limited to 2MB. Files exceeding plan limits are flagged for manual handling or external link substitution.
Swivl Tech
Owner / Technician
monday CRM
Person Column (monday CRM)
1:1Swivl owner and technician IDs are resolved by email match against monday CRM users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to monday CRM first or assigns records to a fallback Person. Technician skill tags from Swivl map to a Text or Tags column on the Work Orders board.
Swivl Tech
Activity Log (calls, notes, emails)
monday CRM
Item Updates / Subitems (monday CRM)
1:1Swivl activity logs — calls, emails, notes, site visit records — are imported as monday CRM Updates on the relevant items (Contact, Job, Deal) with original timestamps and owner attribution preserved. Linked activity summaries are also written to Item Notes for quick reference.
Swivl Tech
Workflow / Automation (Swivl)
monday CRM
N/A — Rebuild Required
1:1Swivl workflow automations — trigger-based job routing, status-change notifications, scheduling rules — have no monday CRM equivalent and do not migrate. We export your Swivl workflow definitions as a reference document your monday CRM admin can use to rebuild automations using monday's Automations 2.0 builder or Integrations with Zapier/Make.
Swivl Tech
Report / Dashboard (Swivl)
monday CRM
N/A — Rebuild Required
1:1Swivl built-in reports (revenue pipeline, technician utilization, job cycle time) do not migrate — monday CRM's reporting requires rebuilding dashboards from migrated board data. monday CRM Dashboards combine widgets from multiple boards; our migration plan includes a dashboard skeleton mapping Swivl report dimensions to monday widget types.

Migration approach
Audit Swivl data and design Monday board architecture
FlitStack AI reads your Swivl Tech data via API export — contacts, companies, deals, jobs, invoices, schedules, custom fields, and activity history. We audit field types, pick-list values, ownership, and data volume. Based on the audit, we design the Monday CRM board architecture: a People board for contacts, an Organizations board for companies, a Deals board for opportunities, a Work Orders board with custom columns for Swivl jobs, and an Invoices board. We deliver a board-and-column setup plan so your monday CRM workspace is scaffolded before data lands. We also flag any pick-list values that require monday CRM Status column configuration and identify cross-board Lookups that require Standard or above.
Create Monday boards and custom columns
Your monday CRM admin (or FlitStack's onboarding team) creates the boards and custom columns defined in the architecture plan. This includes creating Status columns with labels matching Swivl's deal_stage and job_status pick-list values, Person columns for owner and technician assignment, Number columns for amounts and estimates, Date columns for scheduled dates, Location columns for customer addresses, and Tags columns for Swivl custom fields like service_type or job_category. We validate column types before the migration run to prevent data truncation. monday CRM column limits per board also apply — boards with more than 50 custom columns may require splitting across boards.
Run sample migration and field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, organizations, deals, jobs, and invoices — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing Swivl source values against the Monday CRM destination values so you can verify column mapping, status-label matching, person resolution, and custom field population before the full run commits. Any mapping errors, pick-list mismatches, or truncated values are corrected before the full migration proceeds. This sample run also surfaces monday CRM API rate-limit behavior for your specific plan tier.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against Monday CRM via the API — contacts and organizations load first (as parent entities), followed by deals and work orders with their cross-board person and organization links. Monday CRM's per-plan API rate limits are respected via batching and backoff. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs concurrently, capturing any Swivl records created or modified during the cutover window so Monday reflects Swivl's final state at go-live. The audit log records every API operation. If reconciliation fails — a mismatch in record counts, orphaned items, or broken cross-board links — one-click rollback reverts the monday CRM workspace to its pre-migration state.
Post-migration: validate, rebuild automations and dashboards
After migration, FlitStack AI delivers a reconciliation report comparing Swivl record counts and field values against Monday CRM items. Your team validates migrated data in Monday. We also deliver a Swivl workflow export document listing all automations, scheduling rules, and trigger logic for your monday CRM admin to rebuild using Monday Automations 2.0. A dashboard rebuild guide maps Swivl report dimensions to Monday Dashboard widget types. monday CRM integrations with Zapier or Make — previously connected in Swivl — must be re-authenticated and rebuilt against Monday column IDs. Standard and above plans have access to monday CRM Dashboards; Basic-plan accounts should upgrade before attempting dashboard rebuilds.
