Overview
Migrating from Twenty CRM to Monday.com CRM is a structural translation, not a direct record copy. Twenty uses a relational PostgreSQL object model with five standard objects (People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes) and unlimited Custom Objects; Monday.com represents all data as Items on Boards with typed Columns. The most significant migration difference is that Monday.com has no native activity timeline for calls, emails, meetings, or engagement history — we flag this gap during scoping so the customer decides whether to migrate it as custom columns or accept that these records are outside Monday's data model. We follow Twenty's required import sequence (Companies first, then People, then Opportunities, then Custom Objects) during extraction, map Twenty's foreign-key relations into Monday board linkages, and handle Twenty's 20,000-record export cap by chunking larger migrations. Workflows, automations, and self-hosted infrastructure dependencies do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Twenty 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.
Twenty CRM
Company
monday CRM
Board (Account Board)
1:1Twenty Company records map to a dedicated Monday board for accounts. We create a board named after the customer's account structure (e.g., 'Accounts' or 'Companies') and map Twenty fields (name, domain, industry, size, location) to Monday text, dropdown, and number columns. Domain from Twenty's domain field becomes the Website column URL format. Companies must import first because People and Opportunities reference them as linked records.
Twenty CRM
People
monday CRM
Items on Account Board
1:1Twenty People records map to Items within the Account board. Each People record becomes an Item, with name, email, phone, job title, and companyId mapped to corresponding Monday columns. We create a personName column, email column (with link format), phone column (text), and a relation column linking each Person Item to the parent Account Item. This preserves the People-to-Company relationship in Monday's relation-column format rather than as a foreign key.
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
monday CRM
Items on Pipeline Board
1:1Twenty Opportunities map to Items on a dedicated Pipeline board. Stage maps to a Status column with values matching Twenty's pipeline stages; amount maps to a Numbers column; closeDate maps to a Date column. We create a relation column linking each Opportunity Item to the parent Account Item and optionally to the associated Person Item. Stage probability percentages from Twenty do not map natively to Monday Status columns; we document these in the mapping notes for the customer to use in custom reporting.
Twenty CRM
Task
monday CRM
Items on Tasks Board or subitems of parent Item
1:1Twenty Tasks map to Items on a Tasks board or as subitems under their parent record (Account, Person, or Opportunity). Title maps to Item name, dueDate maps to a Date column, assignee maps to a Person column or board group owner, and completion status maps to a Status column. Tasks linked to multiple parent records require the customer to decide whether to create duplicate subitems on each parent or consolidate to a single Tasks board with link columns.
Twenty CRM
Notes
monday CRM
Text columns or long-text columns on parent Items
1:1Twenty Notes are free-form text attachments linked to People, Companies, Opportunities, or other records. We migrate Notes as Long Text columns on the parent Monday Item, with the note body as content and a date column capturing the original note timestamp. If a Twenty Note is linked to multiple records, we attach it to the primary parent and add a text column noting the additional related records. Notes do not become separate Items because Monday does not have a native note object with independent linkage.
Twenty CRM
Custom Object
monday CRM
Board (Custom Object Board)
1:1Twenty Custom Objects (e.g., Subscriptions, Events, Rockets) map to dedicated Monday boards. We create a board for each Custom Object and map its fields to typed Monday columns. If a Custom Object has lookups to standard Twenty objects (People, Companies, Opportunities), we create relation columns on the Monday board to replicate those relationships as Monday Item links. Custom Objects capped at 10 on Twenty Pro; Monday Standard and above support unlimited boards and columns.
Twenty CRM
Opportunity Stage
monday CRM
Status column values on Pipeline Board
lossyTwenty pipeline stages map to Monday Status column options on the Pipeline board. We configure the Status column with values matching Twenty's stage names exactly (e.g., 'Prospecting', 'Qualified', 'Demo Scheduled', 'Proposal Sent', 'Closed Won', 'Closed Lost'). Stage probability percentages are not natively supported in Monday Status columns; we document these in a separate column for reference and advise the customer to use Monday's dashboard formulas for probability-based forecasting.
Twenty CRM
Owner/User
monday CRM
Person column or board group assignee
1:1Twenty workspace Members referenced as record owners (on People, Companies, Opportunities, and Tasks) map to Monday Person column values or group assignments. We resolve by email match. Any Twenty Owner without a matching Monday workspace member is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record import. Monday Person columns support multiple assignees per Item, which is more flexible than Twenty's single-owner model.
Twenty CRM
Engagement (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
monday CRM
Not natively supported — optional custom column reconstruction
1:1Monday.com has no native activity timeline or engagement object. Call logs, email records, meeting history, and task engagements from Twenty cannot map to a native Monday structure. We offer two options: skip engagement history entirely (the cleanest approach given Monday's data model), or reconstruct selected records as custom columns on the parent Item (e.g., a Long Text column named 'Call Log' with date, duration, and notes). The customer selects the preferred approach during scoping. We do not force-fit engagement history into Monday because it would create unmanageable column bloat and has no native retrieval UI.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Twenty CRM gotchas
Import order is enforced and critical
Export limited to 20,000 records and visible columns only
Soft-deleted records count toward uniqueness and trigger restores
API rate limits cap at 200 req/min on Organization tier
No native email sequences — follow-up cadences require external tools
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 scoping
We audit the source Twenty CRM instance across cloud tier (Pro or Organization), total record counts per object (People, Companies, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes, Custom Objects), active Custom Object definitions and their field schemas, the pipeline and stage configuration, and engagement volume (call, email, meeting, note records). We pair this with a Monday.com workspace audit: existing boards, column types, user count, and automation count. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a board-design draft for each Twenty object, and a customer decision point on engagement history (skip or reconstruct as custom columns). We also flag any Twenty data that exceeds the 20,000-record export cap so the chunking strategy is agreed before extraction begins.
Board design and column-type mapping
We design the Monday.com board structure to receive each Twenty object. A Companies board with relation columns, a Pipeline board with Status and Numbers columns, a Tasks board or subitem structure, and a board per Custom Object. For each board we document the column type, whether it is a required field, and any format transformation (phone numbers, dates, currency). We configure the board in a sandbox Monday workspace first, then export the board structure as a JSON template that we apply to the production workspace before importing data. This avoids column-type errors during import.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a sandbox migration using a representative sample (typically 200-500 records per object) to validate the board structure, column mapping, and relation resolution. The customer reviews the sandbox boards, spot-checks mapped records against the Twenty source, and signs off the board design and mapping before production migration begins. Any column-type corrections, additional columns, or relation changes happen in sandbox, not production. This step is the last chance to change the Monday board schema before data loads begin.
Data extraction in required sequence
We extract Twenty data in the required dependency order: Companies first, then People (with companyId resolved), then Opportunities (with companyId and linked personId resolved), then Tasks and Notes, then Custom Objects last. For each object we pre-configure the export view to expose all fields and run chunked exports if the record count exceeds 20,000. We apply a dedup pass on People (email-based) and Companies (domain-based) before export to reduce the import volume. We extract engagement records (calls, emails, meetings) separately and present the customer with the reconstruction options before loading them into Monday.
Production migration and relation resolution
We run production migration into the live Monday.com workspace using the board template from the sandbox phase. We import in dependency order: Account Items first, then Person Items with relation columns resolved to the parent Account Items, then Opportunity Items with relation columns resolved to parent Account and Person Items, then Tasks and Notes as Items or subitems, then Custom Object Items. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing the Monday Item count to the extracted Twenty record count. Discrepancies trigger a root-cause investigation before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze writes to Twenty during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, validate relation column links for referential integrity, and present the customer with a final reconciliation report. We deliver a written inventory of Twenty automations and workflow rules for the customer's Monday admin to rebuild using Monday's Automation Center. We do not migrate automations as code. We support a one-week post-cutover window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not provide post-migration admin support, training, or workflow rebuild as standard scope.
