Overview
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.

Object mapping
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
monday CRM
Organization (CRM board)
1:1Teamwork 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
monday CRM
Person (CRM board)
1:1Teamwork 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
monday CRM
Person Item (untagged or staged pipeline)
1:1Teamwork 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
monday CRM
Deal Item (CRM board)
1:1Teamwork 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
monday CRM
Board with Status column
lossyEach 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
monday CRM
Status column value
lossyTeamwork 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)
monday CRM
Sub-Item on Person or Deal Item
1:manyTeamwork 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)
monday CRM
Column on Person or Deal Item
lossyTeamwork 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
monday CRM
Label column value on Item
lossyTeamwork 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)
monday CRM
Workspace Member
1:1Teamwork 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
Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
