Overview
Thunderbolt Pipeline stores construction-specific CRM data — contacts, companies, bids, workforce schedules, and compliance records — in a record-based model designed for single-trade subcontractors managing bids and margins. Monday CRM replaces that structure with a board-and-item architecture where every entity becomes an 'item' on a customizable board, columns define the fields, and groups represent status or category splits. FlitStack AI extracts Thunderbolt Pipeline data via API access (Contacts, Companies, Bids, Workforce Planning records, and any custom properties) and maps them into Monday CRM boards that mirror your existing workflow — contacts into a Leads board, companies into an Accounts board, bids converted to Deals with their pipeline stage mapped to Monday's group structure, and workforce records into a dedicated Resources board. Custom fields from Thunderbolt Pipeline become custom columns in Monday with their original data types preserved where possible (text, number, date, dropdown). Construction-specific values like bid status, trade type, and license numbers migrate as custom column options or text fields. What does not migrate: Thunderbolt Pipeline's construction-specific automations (bid-reminder workflows, compliance alerts) must be rebuilt in Monday's automation engine. The migration carries data and relationships only — your team will need to recreate any automated sequences in Monday after go-live. FlitStack provides a custom field mapping document and a rebuild reference for your Monday admin before the full run commits.
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 Thunderbolt Pipeline 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.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Contact
monday CRM
Lead Item (Leads Board)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline contacts migrate as items on the Monday CRM Leads board. Email, phone, company association, and owner assignment transfer directly as standard columns. Original create date preserved as a custom date column since Monday's system Created Date is set at migration time rather than reflecting the original record creation.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Company
monday CRM
Account Item (Accounts Board)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline companies map to Monday CRM account items. Company name, address, domain, industry, and employee count become standard columns on the Accounts board. Parent-company hierarchies in Thunderbolt become linked-item columns in Monday CRM referencing the parent account item.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Bid
monday CRM
Deal Item (Deals Board)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline bids become Monday CRM deal items. Bid name maps to deal title, bid amount maps to monetary value, and bid stage maps to Monday group structure — each Thunderbolt Pipeline bid stage becomes a group (column section) on the Deals board. Bid close date maps to expected close date in Monday.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Bid Stage / Status
monday CRM
Group (Deals Board)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline bid stages (e.g., Quote Sent, Under Review, Awarded, Lost) map value-by-value to Monday CRM groups on the Deals board. The group order reflects the original pipeline sequence. Stage probability is not native to Monday and is not migrated — rebuild as a custom number column if needed.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Workforce Planning Entry
monday CRM
Resource Item (Resources Board)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline workforce planning records (employee names, trade classifications, availability windows) migrate as items on a dedicated Monday CRM Resources board. Availability dates become date columns; trade type becomes a dropdown column. FlitStack sequences this migration after accounts and contacts so resource assignments can link to the correct account items.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Compliance Record
monday CRM
Custom Column (Account or Resource Board)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline compliance records (insurance expiration, license numbers, union certification) have no direct Monday CRM equivalent. We map them as custom columns on the relevant board — insurance expiration as date columns, license numbers as text columns — so compliance flags are visible on the account or resource item they belong to.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Contact-Company Association
monday CRM
Linked Items (Account to Lead)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline stores contact-to-company relationships. Monday CRM supports linked items via the linking column — each contact item links to its associated account item. Unlinked contacts (no company in Thunderbolt) land on the board without a link and are flagged for review.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Bid-Contact Association
monday CRM
Linked Items (Deal to Lead)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline bid records include associated contacts such as estimators and project managers who contributed to the bid. Monday CRM's linking column connects each deal item to the relevant lead items on the Leads board. Multiple contacts per bid are linked individually to maintain accurate team attribution across the project.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Owner / Team Member
monday CRM
User (Monday CRM Workspace)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline owner assignments on bids and contacts are resolved by email match against Monday CRM workspace users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either creates the Monday user first or assigns records to a fallback user. No record lands without a responsible user.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Attachment / File
monday CRM
File Column (Monday CRM Item)
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline file attachments (subcontractor agreements, drawings, compliance documents) re-upload to Monday CRM's file column on the relevant item. File size limits follow Monday's per-file constraints. We surface any attachments exceeding the limit before migration so your team can decide whether to host externally.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Custom Property (per object)
monday CRM
Custom Column
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline custom properties per record type — trade classification on bids, union status on contacts, insurance carrier on accounts — migrate as Monday CRM custom columns. Text properties become text columns, dates become date columns, and pick-list values become dropdown columns with options preserved exactly from Thunderbolt Pipeline.
Thunderbolt Pipeline
Note / Activity Log
monday CRM
Updates / Activity Column
1:1Thunderbolt Pipeline notes attached to bids and contacts migrate as Updates on the corresponding Monday CRM item. Original author and timestamp are preserved in the update attribution. High-volume activity logs (many updates per item) are summarized — oldest and most recent preserved, bulk logs noted in a separate archive file.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Thunderbolt Pipeline data and design Monday CRM board structure
FlitStack AI reads your Thunderbolt Pipeline data via API access: all contacts, companies, bids, workforce entries, and custom properties. We audit record counts, custom property inventory, and relationship density (contacts per company, bids per contact) to scope the migration accurately. Simultaneously, we deliver a Monday CRM board design document specifying the boards, columns, groups, and linked-item relationships your Monday workspace needs before data lands. Your admin creates the boards and groups from this document before the migration run.
Match owners and users by email across both platforms
Thunderbolt Pipeline owner assignments on bids and contacts are resolved by email match against Monday CRM workspace users. We generate an owner-resolution report listing every unique owner in Thunderbolt, their email, and their Monday CRM user status — matched, unmatched, or not yet provisioned. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration so your team can either invite them to Monday CRM first or designate a fallback assignee. No record migrates without a responsible user.
Migrate accounts and contacts before bids; workforce records after contacts
Monday CRM requires referential integrity — linked items must exist before they can be linked. FlitStack sequences the migration in dependency order: Companies → Accounts first (so contacts can link to them), then Contacts → Leads (linked to accounts), then Bids → Deals (linked to the lead and account items), then Workforce entries → Resources (linked to accounts or contacts as applicable). Custom columns are created in the target board before the data load for that board begins.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff on a representative slice
A sample migration runs on 50–200 representative records spanning contacts, companies, bids, and workforce entries before the full run commits. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against Monday CRM destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff to verify bid-stage-to-group mapping, custom column population, linked-item relationships, and owner resolution. Discrepancies are corrected in the mapping document before the full migration run is scheduled.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and one-click rollback
The full migration runs against your Monday CRM workspace. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) runs concurrently — any records modified in Thunderbolt Pipeline during the cutover are captured and migrated after the initial batch completes. FlitStack maintains a complete audit log of every record created, updated, or linked in Monday CRM. If reconciliation identifies data discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts the Monday workspace to its pre-migration state so the run can be corrected and re-executed without data loss.
