Overview
Moving from Tofu to Monday.com CRM is a migration from a purpose-built ABM demand generation layer into a flexible Work OS with CRM capabilities. Tofu's core objects are Accounts, Campaigns, Playbooks, Personas, Content Assets, and Audiences. Monday.com CRM does not have a direct equivalent for Playbooks or Content Assets, so we export Playbooks as structured step records and flag branching conditions as custom properties for manual rebuild. Content Asset binaries live on Tofu's CDN and are downloaded at export time with URL re-validation before the final sync. The no-API constraint on the source means this migration relies on Tofu's native export format rather than direct API-to-API sync, which extends discovery and scoping timelines. Workflows, automations, and sequences do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for your Monday.com admin to rebuild. Monday.com CRM pricing starts at $15/seat/month for Basic CRM, $23 for Standard, and $32 for Pro, with the CRM product adding cost on top of the base Work Management plan in stacked-billing scenarios.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Tofu 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.
Tofu
Account
monday CRM
Company Item (CRM Board)
1:1Tofu Accounts represent target companies in the ABM model. We export Account name, industry, tier, owner, and any custom enrichment fields and map them to Monday.com CRM Company items. The Monday.com CRM board uses the native Companies board type, which supports custom fields per company. We use Company name as the dedupe key and resolve the Account owner to a Monday.com User by email match. Any Tofu custom enrichment fields are mapped to Monday.com custom fields on the Company board, with type conversion (Tofu text properties become Monday.com text fields, numeric properties become number fields).
Tofu
Campaign
monday CRM
Board + Campaign Group (or Item)
lossyTofu Campaigns are the top-level container for landing pages, email sequences, ads, and collateral tied to a targeting strategy. Monday.com CRM has no native Campaign object. We create a dedicated Campaign Board in Monday.com with groups per Tofu Campaign. Each Campaign group contains linked Contact and Company Items representing the Campaign's audience. We preserve campaign status, start and end dates, and owner as board-level or group-level fields. The customer chooses whether to model campaigns as separate boards or as items within a master Campaign board during scoping.
Tofu
Persona
monday CRM
Custom Fields or Tag Group
lossyTofu Personas define ICP profiles (industry, role, pain points, messaging tone) used to personalize content. Monday.com CRM has no native Persona object. We export persona definitions as structured records and map them to either Monday.com tag groups (for classification) or a dedicated Personas Board with custom fields (Industry, Role, Pain Point, Messaging Tone) linked back to the Accounts board via a connected board relationship. The customer selects the strategy during scoping based on how their team uses personas day-to-day.
Tofu
Playbook
monday CRM
Automation Inventory (written document)
1:1Tofu Playbooks encode multi-step outreach sequences with conditional branching based on prospect engagement signals. Monday.com Automations model triggers and actions but do not support the multi-step cadence or conditional branching depth that Tofu Playbooks use. We decompose each Playbook into discrete Step records during export and capture the step sequence, timing, channel rules, and any branching conditions as structured fields. Any branching conditions that cannot be represented in Monday.com Automations are flagged as a custom property on the Step record. The migration output is a written Playbook Inventory document listing each Playbook's steps and conditions, which the customer's Monday.com admin uses to rebuild automations post-migration.
Tofu
Content Asset
monday CRM
File Attachments + External Links
lossyTofu Content Assets include landing pages, PDFs, ad creative, and sales collateral generated by the platform's AI. These binaries live on Tofu's CDN. During migration we export the asset metadata and re-download binaries from Tofu's asset URLs at export time, then attach them as files to the relevant Monday.com Item (Contact, Company, or Campaign Board). We snapshot asset URLs at export time and re-validate each URL in a pre-flight check before the final sync run. Landing pages that cannot be re-downloaded are flagged as external links pointing to the archived Tofu URL, with a note that the page will require rebuilding on a CMS post-migration.
Tofu
Audience
monday CRM
Contact Board Filter View or Segmented Group
lossyTofu Audiences are filtered subsets of Accounts or Contacts used to trigger Playbook activation. We export audience membership as a list of linked Account IDs with the filter criteria preserved. In Monday.com CRM we create segmented views on the Contacts board using the original filter criteria, or we create dedicated Contact groups per Audience. The filter logic (for example, Industry equals Technology and Account Tier equals Enterprise) is documented as a Monday.com filter view definition and included in the handoff documentation.
Tofu
Custom Properties
monday CRM
Custom Fields
1:1Tofu supports custom fields on Accounts, Campaigns, and Playbooks. We detect any non-standard properties during the pre-migration schema scan and map them to equivalent custom fields in Monday.com CRM. Monday.com custom fields support text, number, date, person, status, dropdown, checkbox, and link types. We match Tofu field types to Monday.com field types during the schema mapping phase. Fields with no Monday.com equivalent are flagged as custom properties requiring a workaround (for example, multi-value arrays stored as text).
Tofu
User / Owner
monday CRM
User
1:1Users in Tofu are assigned as Campaign owners and Playbook creators. We export user email addresses and names and map them to Owner/User items in Monday.com CRM. If a matching Monday.com user does not exist, we flag the unmapped owner for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Owner assignments on Accounts, Campaigns, and Audiences are migrated by resolving the Tofu owner email to the Monday.com User member on the relevant board.

Tofu gotchas
No public API documentation or published rate limits
Content Assets are platform-hosted binaries not separately exported
Playbook branching logic maps imperfectly to most destination CRMs
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
Discovery and export capability confirmation
We audit Tofu across all active objects: Account count, Campaign count, Playbook list, Persona definitions, Content Asset library size, and Audience membership lists. Because Tofu has no published API, we also confirm with Tofu directly (or through the customer's access) what export formats are available for each object type during the discovery call. We pair this with a Monday.com CRM plan review (Basic CRM at $15/seat, Standard at $23, Pro at $32) and confirm whether the customer uses Monday.com Work Management alongside CRM so we account for any stacked billing. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a Tofu export method confirmation.
Schema design for Monday.com CRM boards
We design the destination schema in Monday.com CRM. This includes creating the Companies board (mapping Tofu Account fields to Company custom fields), a Contacts board with custom fields (mapping Tofu Persona attributes where applicable), a Campaign board or board structure (depending on whether the customer prefers separate boards per campaign or a single campaign board with groups), and a Content Assets board for metadata and file links. We configure connected board relationships between Contacts and Companies, and between Campaign boards and related Contacts. Custom fields on Tofu objects are mapped to Monday.com custom field types during this phase.
Export, deduplication, and pre-flight validation
We extract data from Tofu using its confirmed export format. We run a deduplication pass on Account and Contact records (using company domain and email address as dedupe keys), normalize field formats (date formats, phone number structures, industry picklist values), and validate that all referenced Content Asset URLs are still accessible on Tofu's CDN. We also decompose Playbooks into discrete step records and capture branching conditions. The pre-flight validation emits a record-count report and a list of any records that failed validation, which the customer resolves before the sandbox migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Monday.com test workspace (or a duplicated board structure) using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Accounts in match Companies in, Campaigns in match Campaign groups in, Personas in match tag groups or Persona board items in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Tofu source, and confirms that connected board relationships resolved correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in this phase before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (verified as provisioned in Monday.com), Companies (from Tofu Accounts), Contacts (with resolved company relationships), Campaign boards and groups, Persona board or tag groups, Content Asset file attachments, Audience filter views, and Playbook step records in the inventory document. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Because this migration uses export-format ingestion rather than API sync, batch sizes are determined by the export file format rather than API rate limits.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Tofu writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Monday.com CRM as the system of record. We deliver the Playbook Inventory document (with step sequences and branching conditions) and the Automation Rebuild Guide to the customer's Monday.com admin. We do not rebuild Tofu Playbooks as Monday.com Automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
