Overview
The Practice stores client records as structured profiles with properties for scheduling, contracts, billing, and session notes. Monday CRM organizes data as boards containing items, with column types replacing traditional CRM fields. The core migration challenge is translating The Practice's client-property model into Monday's column-based board structure, then rebuilding the relationship links between contacts, companies, and deals using Monday's Connect Boards columns and People columns. FlitStack AI extracts all client records via The Practice's API, maps every standard and custom client property to the equivalent Monday column type (text, number, date, status, person, etc.), and migrates records into the correct boards in the proper sequence — companies first, then contacts and deals. Automations, reminders, and scheduling logic do not transfer and must be rebuilt in Monday's automation builder. A delta-pickup window runs during cutover to capture any records modified during the switch. During extraction, FlitStack validates each property against Monday's supported column types, flagging any unsupported custom fields for manual column creation before the bulk write. After the primary migration, a delta capture window runs for 24‑48 hours to ingest any new or updated records that occur while the system is still live, ensuring data continuity. Post‑migration, teams should configure Monday's automations, such as status‑change triggers and date‑based reminders, using the exported workflow reference as a guide.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a The Practice 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.
The Practice
Contact / Client Record
monday CRM
People item (People Board)
1:1The Practice client profile maps to a Monday CRM People item. All standard properties (name, email, phone, address) map to equivalent Monday text/email/phone columns. Monday's People column type stores contacts; the migration creates a Person column on the board and populates it with the client name.
The Practice
Company
monday CRM
Company item (Companies Board)
1:1The Practice company records migrate to Monday CRM Companies. Company name, domain, industry, and employee count map to text and number columns. Monday's Company column type links People items to their employer — the migration resolves this link by creating the Company item first, then populating the Company column on each related People item.
The Practice
Deal / Opportunity
monday CRM
Deal item (Deals Board)
1:1The Practice deal records (deal name, amount, stage, close date, owner) migrate as items on a Monday CRM Deals board. The Status column represents pipeline stage — stage values map value-by-value from The Practice deal stages to Monday status options. Owner is resolved by email match to Monday user accounts.
The Practice
Client Custom Properties
monday CRM
Custom columns (per board)
1:1The Practice stores client-specific properties (e.g., session rate, referral source, contract type, insurance provider) as custom fields. These map to Monday custom columns — the migration validates each property type against Monday's 14 supported column types and creates matching columns on the destination board. Properties that use unsupported types (e.g., rich-text, multi-select beyond Monday's limit) are flagged for manual column creation.
The Practice
Scheduling / Appointment
monday CRM
Date column + subitem / linked board item
1:1The Practice appointment records contain date, time, duration, and type (initial consult, follow-up, etc.). These migrate to Monday date columns on the People item or as subitems on the client item. Appointment type is stored as a Status or Label column. Because The Practice's scheduling engine doesn't export booking rules, recurring appointment logic requires manual automation setup in Monday.
The Practice
Contract / Document Record
monday CRM
Files column / linked item
1:1Contract records attached to The Practice clients (PDFs, signed agreements) are downloaded and re-uploaded to Monday's Files column on the corresponding client item. Document metadata (contract date, expiry, type) maps to text and date columns on the client item. If multiple files exist per contract, each is uploaded individually and linked via the Files column's version history, allowing straightforward reference without duplication.
The Practice
Billing / Invoice Record
monday CRM
Number/Status columns + linked item
1:1The Practice invoice records (amount, status, date, payment method) migrate as separate items on a Billing board, linked to the client item via a Connect Boards column. Invoice line items are stored as subitems on the invoice item. Monday does not have a native invoicing object — these records are stored as structured data, not as a billing module.
The Practice
Session / Activity Note
monday CRM
Updates / subitem / text column
1:1The Practice session notes and activity records migrate as Updates on the client item in Monday CRM, preserving the original timestamp and note content. Longer session notes can be stored as subitems on the client item, with a Status column indicating note type (session note, clinical note, billing note).
The Practice
Owner / Team Member
monday CRM
Person column (Monday user)
1:1The Practice user records are resolved by email match against Monday CRM user accounts. If a The Practice owner has no matching Monday user, they are flagged before migration — the account can be invited to Monday first or assigned to a fallback owner. Monday's Person column stores the assignee on each item.
The Practice
Tag / Label
monday CRM
Label column / Tags column
1:1The Practice tags applied to client records (e.g., 'referral', 'vip', 'billing-hold') migrate to Monday's Label or Tags column depending on the board configuration. Each unique tag value creates a corresponding tag option in the Monday column. If a tag does not yet exist in Monday, FlitStack creates it automatically during migration, ensuring no manual setup is required for existing source tags.
The Practice
Workflow / Automation
monday CRM
N/A — manual rebuild required
1:1The Practice automated workflows (appointment reminders, client onboarding sequences, billing triggers) have no equivalent in Monday CRM. FlitStack exports the workflow definitions as a structured reference document so your Monday admin can rebuild each automation as a Monday recipe using the same triggers and actions.

The Practice gotchas
No public API means all migration data must be extracted manually
Session recordings and large files require separate manual download
Client group and tag inheritance is not automatically preserved in exports
Contract PDFs are stored as linked files, not embedded records
monday CRM gotchas
Subitems are not included in bulk exports
Daily API call limits vary sharply by plan
Legacy automations (Sentence Builder) are being deprecated
Excel and account exports only include table views
Enterprise admins can disable non-admin exports
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit The Practice data and design Monday board structure
FlitStack extracts a full data inventory from The Practice via API — all client records, companies, deals, custom properties, attachments, session notes, and tags. We compare the property types against Monday CRM's 14 supported column types and identify any that require manual column creation. The output is a board-design specification: which boards to create, which columns each board needs, which custom properties are migratable vs. manual-rebuild, and the sequence in which boards must be populated.
Create Monday boards and columns before any data lands
Monday requires columns to exist before items can populate them. FlitStack creates all boards (People, Companies, Deals, and any custom boards for billing or tags) and all columns in your Monday workspace before the first record is written. This includes Connect Boards columns that link Deals to People and Companies to People. Columns are named to match The Practice field labels so your team can immediately read the migrated data.
Resolve owner accounts and relationship links before writing records
The Practice owner IDs are matched by email against Monday CRM user accounts. Any owner without a Monday account is flagged with a fallback-owner assignment plan. The Practice company-to-client and deal-to-client relationship IDs are converted into pending link operations — these execute after the linked items are written, ensuring no orphaned references. Monday's API requires items to exist before links can be created, so this sequencing is enforced.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 50–200 records migrates first — spanning clients, companies, deals, session notes, and attachments. FlitStack generates a field-level comparison report showing source value, mapped Monday column, and any transformation applied. You can verify that custom property mapping, relationship links, and owner resolution are correct before the full run commits. Any mapping adjustments are made before the bulk migration begins.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full record set migrates in batched API calls compliant with your Monday CRM plan's daily rate limit. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after the bulk run) captures any records created or modified in The Practice during the cutover period. Attachments are downloaded from The Practice and re-uploaded to Monday's Files column. Audit logging tracks every operation; one-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals unexpected gaps.
