Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Teamwork CRM to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration that requires translating a pipeline-first data model into a board-based one. Teamwork CRM organizes data around Leads, Opportunities, and Stages with an activity timeline on each Contact record. Monday.com CRM stores People, Organizations, and Deals as Items on boards with Status columns replacing pipeline stages. We sequence Companies (Organizations) first, then People (Contacts), then Deals (Opportunities), resolving the Monday.com CRM dependency that each Deal Item must link to at least one Person or Organization. Activity records (calls, meetings, tasks) do not have a native timeline equivalent in Monday.com CRM; we map them to sub-items or notes on the parent Person or Deal Item, and we flag this limitation explicitly. Teamwork's lack of file attachment support on Contact records means no attachment migration is needed. Workflows, automations, and saved filters do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of Teamwork CRM workflow triggers and conditions for the customer's admin to rebuild as Monday.com Board Automations post-migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Teamwork CRM logo

Teamwork CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Multiple Capterra and G2 reviews report that users cannot attach emails or documents directly to Contact records, forcing activity logging to happen outside the CRM.
  • The platform lacks native Office 365 integration, which creates friction for teams embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem who rely on calendar and email sync.
  • Teams outgrowing the feature set cite missing capabilities: advanced forecasting, multi-object automation, and granular role-based permissions available in HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • Larger organizations report that the per-user pricing model becomes costly as the sales team scales, prompting evaluation of flat-rate or tiered alternatives.

Choosing

monday CRM logo

monday CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How Teamwork CRM objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Teamwork 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.

Teamwork CRM

Company

maps to

monday CRM

Organization (CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM Company records map to Monday.com CRM Organizations. The Company name becomes the Organization Item name. Address fields (street, city, state, country, postal code) map to the Address column type available on the Organization Item. Industry and website fields map to text or dropdown columns depending on the data. We extract Companies first in the migration sequence because Organization Items must exist before Person Items can link to them via the CRM relationship column.

Teamwork CRM

Contact

maps to

monday CRM

Person (CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM Contact records map to Monday.com CRM People Items. Email, phone, job title, and custom Contact fields map directly to corresponding Monday.com Person column types. Each Person Item links to its parent Organization via the CRM relationship column. We extract Contacts after Organizations and resolve the Organization reference before inserting each Person Item. Any Contact without a Company assignment migrates as a standalone Person Item.

Teamwork CRM

Lead

maps to

monday CRM

Person Item (untagged or staged pipeline)

1:1
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM Lead records migrate as Person Items on the CRM board. If the customer runs separate Leads and Opportunities pipelines simultaneously, we create a separate pipeline board for Leads with its own Status column and configure the Deals board exclusively for Opportunities. The original Lead stage name maps to a Label column or Status column value on the Person Item, preserving the qualification status for reporting purposes.

Teamwork CRM

Opportunity

maps to

monday CRM

Deal Item (CRM board)

1:1
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM Opportunity records map to Monday.com CRM Deal Items. The Opportunity name, deal value, close date, and probability map to the Deal name, monetary value column, date column, and probability column respectively. Each Deal Item links to the associated Person and Organization via CRM relationship columns. Deal Items without a Person or Organization link are flagged during extraction and escalated to the customer for resolution before migration.

Teamwork CRM

Pipeline

maps to

monday CRM

Board with Status column

lossy
Fully supported

Each Teamwork CRM Pipeline becomes a Monday.com board. We create the board with the same name and configure a Status column whose values match the Teamwork Pipeline stage names in their original order. Stage probability percentages from Teamwork are stored in a number column on each Deal Item, since Monday.com Deal probability is a column-level attribute rather than a pipeline-level configuration. If the customer uses multiple pipelines, we create a board per pipeline and use board grouping to maintain pipeline separation.

Teamwork CRM

Pipeline Stage

maps to

monday CRM

Status column value

lossy
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM stage names map directly to Monday.com Status column values. Stage sort order is preserved by setting the Status column value order to match the Teamwork stage sequence. Deprecated or archived stages are captured as a separate status value labeled 'Archived' or 'Inactive' for historical reporting, with the original stage name preserved in a text column on each affected Deal Item.

Teamwork CRM

Activity (Call, Meeting, Task)

maps to

monday CRM

Sub-Item on Person or Deal Item

1:many
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM Activity records (calls, meetings, tasks) map to sub-items on the parent Person or Deal Item in Monday.com. The activity type becomes the sub-item name prefix (e.g., 'Call - Q1 follow-up'). Duration, date, and notes migrate to sub-item columns. We split the activity records by type during transformation and assign them to the correct parent Item. Note that Monday.com does not have a native activity timeline view; the sub-item structure on the Person and Deal boards provides the closest equivalent. Activity sub-items with no resolvable parent Person or Deal are held in a reconciliation queue.

Teamwork CRM

Custom Field (text, number, dropdown)

maps to

monday CRM

Column on Person or Deal Item

lossy
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM custom Contact and Opportunity fields (short text, integer number, dropdown) map to Monday.com column types as follows: text to Text column, integer to Number column, and dropdown to Dropdown column. We pre-create all destination columns before migration begins so that values can be written during the data load. Any Teamwork custom field that does not fit a Monday.com column type (multi-select, date, or boolean — not natively supported in Teamwork CRM but possible via third-party workarounds) is flagged and mapped to the closest equivalent column type.

Teamwork CRM

Tag

maps to

monday CRM

Label column value on Item

lossy
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM tags on Contacts and Opportunities migrate to Monday.com Label columns on Person and Deal Items. Tag names transfer 1:1. We capture the full tag taxonomy during extraction and pre-create the Label column values in Monday.com so that the migration does not create new label values ad hoc. The customer chooses during scoping whether to consolidate the tag list (removing duplicates or merging similar tags) or preserve the full taxonomy as-is.

Teamwork CRM

User (Owner)

maps to

monday CRM

Workspace Member

1:1
Fully supported

Teamwork CRM Owners (sales reps and admins) map to Monday.com Workspace Members by email address. We extract all Owner IDs referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities and resolve them against the destination Monday.com Workspace member list. Any Owner without a matching Monday.com member account is placed in a reconciliation queue, and the customer must provision the account before the migration resumes. Inactive Teamwork CRM users are migrated as inactive members in Monday.com to preserve assignment history.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Monday.com CRM uses a board architecture that requires deliberate schema design

    Monday.com CRM is not a traditional CRM with pre-built Contact, Account, and Opportunity objects — it stores People, Organizations, and Deals as Items on boards with customizable columns. Teams migrating from Teamwork CRM must decide which board holds which record type and how relationship links (Deal-to-Person, Deal-to-Organization) are configured before migration begins. We create this schema design during the scoping phase and validate it in a staging run before touching production data. Migrations that skip schema design produce boards with orphaned Items and broken relationship links that require manual cleanup post-migration.

  • Monday.com has no native activity timeline — activity records require sub-item structuring

    Teamwork CRM stores calls, meetings, tasks, and notes as first-class activity records with timestamps attached to Contact records. Monday.com CRM does not have a native activity timeline equivalent. We map activity records to sub-items on the parent Person or Deal Item, but this requires the customer to adopt the sub-item model as their activity representation. Teams that rely on a chronological activity view for deal coaching or account reviews must train their sales reps to navigate the sub-item structure in Monday.com rather than a traditional timeline. We document this gap explicitly in the migration scope and surface it for the customer's RevOps lead to confirm acceptability.

  • Monday.com automations must be rebuilt — the trigger-action model differs from Teamwork workflows

    Teamwork CRM workflow rules triggered by stage changes, field updates, or date conditions do not have a direct equivalent in Monday.com. Monday.com Board Automations use a different trigger-action model scoped per board, and automations are gated behind the Standard plan ($12/user/month). We do not migrate Teamwork workflow rules as code because the models are incompatible. We deliver a written inventory of every active Teamwork workflow with its trigger conditions, actions, and the equivalent Monday.com automation pattern, and the customer's admin rebuilds them as Board Automations post-migration. Cross-board automation recipes (available on Pro tier) require a review of the destination plan tier.

  • Monday.com API rate limits apply during migration — large datasets require chunking

    Monday.com's API enforces rate limits that require exponential backoff and batch chunking during large data loads. For migrations exceeding 20,000 Items across multiple boards, we chunk API writes and monitor the X-RateLimit response headers to pace the load. The Teamwork CRM source also enforces a 120 requests per minute ceiling during extraction, which we handle by monitoring the X-Rate-Limit-Remaining header and throttling to a single-threaded crawl when approaching the limit. The combined effect of both rate limit regimes extends extraction and load times for large datasets but prevents 429 errors and data truncation.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Teamwork CRM to monday CRM data migration

  1. Discovery and schema design

    We audit the source Teamwork CRM workspace across record counts (People, Organizations, Deals, Activities), active pipeline configurations, stage names and probability weights, custom field definitions and their types (text, number, dropdown), tag taxonomy, user count and SSO configuration, and the active pricing tier. We pair this with a Monday.com account review to confirm the CRM plan tier, existing boards, and column type availability. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a Monday.com board and column schema design document, and a record-dependency plan that sequences Organizations first, then People, then Deals, then Activities.

  2. Monday.com workspace preparation

    We configure the destination Monday.com workspace before any data moves. This includes creating the CRM boards (People, Organizations, Deals) with the correct column types mapped from Teamwork CRM field definitions, configuring the Status column values to match the Teamwork pipeline stage names in their original order, pre-creating Label column values from the Teamwork tag taxonomy, and verifying that the account plan tier supports the required column types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox are available on Standard and above). The Teamwork SSO prerequisite also surfaces here: if the customer uses an Identity Provider on Teamwork Enterprise, their Monday.com Workspace Members must be provisioned with matching email addresses before migration begins.

  3. Teamwork CRM data extraction with rate-limit handling

    We extract Teamwork CRM data in dependency order: Organizations (Companies) first, then People (Contacts), then Deals (Opportunities), then Activities. The Teamwork API enforces a 120 requests per minute ceiling per organization, and we monitor the X-Rate-Limit-Remaining header to throttle the extraction crawl when approaching the limit. For large datasets, this extends extraction time but prevents 429 errors and data truncation mid-run. The Teamwork CSV export limitation (available only in list view) is not used for API-driven migration; we use the API directly for full data fidelity. We capture all Owner references during extraction for resolution in the Monday.com Workspace member table.

  4. Data transformation and sub-item structuring

    We transform extracted records into Monday.com Items with column-value mappings validated against the pre-created schema. Deals are linked to their parent Person and Organization via CRM relationship columns. Activity records (calls, meetings, tasks) are restructured as sub-items on the parent Person or Deal Item. Tags are mapped to Label column values. Custom field values are written to the corresponding Monday.com column by type. Any record with an unresolvable parent reference (Deal without a Person, Activity without a parent Item) is flagged in a reconciliation report for the customer to resolve before load.

  5. Staging migration and sign-off

    We run a full migration into a Monday.com staging workspace (or a separate board group within the production workspace) using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 random Person and Deal Items against the Teamwork CRM source, and reviews the activity sub-item structure to confirm the activity representation meets their team's needs. Any column type mismatches, incorrect Status value assignments, or orphaned Items are corrected in the transform layer before a second staging run confirms the fix. The customer signs off the staging results before the production migration date is confirmed.

  6. Production migration, cutover, and handoff

    We run the production migration in record-dependency order with a final delta sync window. During cutover, Teamwork CRM writes are frozen and any records modified in the final delta window are migrated before the Monday.com board is set as the active system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every active Teamwork CRM workflow with its trigger, conditions, and a recommended Monday.com Board Automation equivalent. The automation rebuild is not included in the migration scope; the customer's admin rebuilds automations as Board Automations post-migration. We offer a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the first week of live use.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Teamwork CRM logo

Teamwork CRM

Source

Strengths

  • Clean, visual pipeline interface with board and list views that sales teams adopt without dedicated training.
  • Configurable pipelines and stages are available on the standard Pro tier without feature gating.
  • Custom fields (text, number, dropdown) are available without requiring an Enterprise plan.
  • Strong bundling with Teamwork Projects and Desk creates a unified work stack for agencies and client-service firms.
  • Gmail add-on and Zapier integration provide basic email and automation connectivity on both pricing tiers.

Weaknesses

  • No native support for file or email attachments on Contact records — a frequently cited gap in G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • No Office 365 integration, limiting adoption in Microsoft-dominant enterprise environments.
  • Custom field types are restricted to short text, integer, and dropdown — multi-select, date, and boolean custom fields require workarounds.
  • Single sign-on (SSO) is gated behind the Enterprise tier, creating a security friction point for larger teams evaluating the platform.
  • API lacks a formal bulk or batch import endpoint; data migration relies on CSV list-view exports with manual column selection.

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

Most migrations land between two and four weeks for accounts under 10,000 People and 2,000 Deals with no custom objects. Migrations with multiple pipelines, large activity histories (over 50,000 activity records), complex tag taxonomies, or Monday.com accounts that require new seat provisioning move to five to eight weeks because of board configuration time, column type mapping, sub-item structuring for activities, and staging sign-off. The Monday.com board schema design phase (steps one and two) typically takes one to two weeks and runs in parallel with Teamwork CRM data audit.
