Overview
Moving from VAIL-CRM to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration that requires understanding which of VAIL-CRM's three modules (sales force automation, marketing automation, service automation) are active in the source instance, because each module may hold records that need to be extracted. VAIL-CRM lacks publicly documented API endpoints, so we contact Velosi directly to confirm export availability and rate limits before scoping. Monday.com CRM uses a board-and-column data model where Deals live as Items on a Board, Activities are logged on item subitems or through integrations, and Custom Fields are column types rather than object extensions. We do not migrate automations or marketing workflows as code; we deliver a written map of every active automation requiring rebuild in Monday.com Automations or Integrations. Pipeline stage names, owner assignments, and custom field values migrate with type-mapped transformations, and we run a 50-100 record test pass before full cutover to catch any field-level discrepancies early.
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 VAIL-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.
VAIL-CRM
Contact
monday CRM
Contact
1:1VAIL-CRM Contacts map to Monday.com CRM Contacts. The standard fields (name, email, phone, social media identifiers) map directly to Monday.com Contact fields. We preserve the original VAIL-CRM contact owner assignment as the Contact owner in Monday.com. Where VAIL-CRM compiles contact data from multiple communication channels, we consolidate these into a single Contact record with a notes subitem capturing the multi-channel origin data.
VAIL-CRM
Company
monday CRM
Company
1:1VAIL-CRM Company records map to Monday.com CRM Companies. The company name becomes the Company name, and domain data from VAIL-CRM populates the Website field. We preserve the contact-company relationship by linking the migrated Contact records to the Company after both objects load. Company-industry and employee-count fields map to Monday.com custom columns.
VAIL-CRM
Deal
monday CRM
Deal
1:1VAIL-CRM Deals map to Monday.com CRM Deals. Deal name, monetary value, close date, and owner assignment migrate directly. Pipeline stage names from VAIL-CRM map to Monday.com status column values that we configure before migration, and probability weights from VAIL-CRM become informational columns in Monday.com rather than native stage probabilities (Monday.com CRM does not use a probability-percentage model by default).
VAIL-CRM
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board Group
lossyVAIL-CRM pipeline definitions (stage names, stage order, probability weights) become Monday.com Board groups used as pipeline stages. We extract the full pipeline definition during discovery and configure the Board status column with the equivalent stage values in the correct sequence. Probability percentages are stored as informational columns in Monday.com.
VAIL-CRM
Activity
monday CRM
Subitem or Activity Log
1:1VAIL-CRM activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrates to Monday.com as subitems on the relevant Contact or Deal Item, or as activity log entries. The original timestamp and activity type are preserved as subitem columns. Email content migrates as note text; call duration and disposition migrate as custom columns on the subitem.
VAIL-CRM
Marketing Automation
monday CRM
Automation (documented only)
1:1VAIL-CRM marketing automation workflows and campaign records require custom mapping. Marketing campaign names, target audiences, and status migrate as informational records to a dedicated Board in Monday.com. The automation logic itself does not transfer; we document every active VAIL-CRM marketing workflow with its trigger, conditions, and actions so the customer admin can rebuild equivalent automations in Monday.com Automations.
VAIL-CRM
Service Automation
monday CRM
Board Item or Case
1:1VAIL-CRM service automation records (support tickets, customer service interactions) migrate as Items on a service Board in Monday.com. Ticket status, priority, and assignment data map to Monday.com status and owner columns. Custom ticket field configurations from VAIL-CRM become custom columns on the service Board.
VAIL-CRM
Custom Fields
monday CRM
Column Types
lossyVAIL-CRM custom fields on standard objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals) map to Monday.com column types: text fields to Text columns, numeric fields to Numbers columns, date fields to Date columns, and picklist fields to Dropdown or Tags columns. We capture the full custom field schema during discovery including field type, required status, and picklist values. Monday.com's dynamic mapping API handles custom object field definitions.

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.
VAIL-CRM gotchas
Limited public API documentation requires direct inquiry with Velosi for export capabilities
Multi-module data isolation requires identifying which components are active
CRM migration complexity underestimated without discovery phase
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 module identification
We identify which of VAIL-CRM's three modules (sales force automation, marketing automation, service automation) are active in the source instance and which contain data requiring extraction. We also contact Velosi Software directly to confirm API availability, bulk export endpoints, and rate limits. We extract a complete record count for all active modules including Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, marketing campaign records, and service tickets. This inventory establishes the verification baseline used to confirm all records arrive in Monday.com after migration.
Schema mapping and Monday.com Board design
We map VAIL-CRM fields to Monday.com column types based on the discovered custom field schema. We design the Monday.com Board structure including the Deals Board (with status columns for pipeline stages), the Contacts and Companies boards, and any service Board for ticket records. Pipeline stage names from VAIL-CRM are translated into Monday.com group labels or status column values. Owner assignments are mapped to Monday.com board members.
Data extraction and cleansing
We extract data from VAIL-CRM via the confirmed API endpoints or structured CSV export. Records are deduplicated across modules where the same contact or company appears in multiple modules, and incomplete records (missing required fields like email or name) are flagged for the customer to correct before import. Date formats are normalized to ISO 8601, and multi-select field values are reformatted to match Monday.com Dropdown or Tags column format.
Test migration with 50-100 records
We run a test migration of 50-100 records from each active VAIL-CRM module into a staging Monday.com Board. We verify field-level mapping accuracy, confirm that owner assignments resolve correctly, check that pipeline stage names appear as expected in Monday.com status columns, and confirm that activity subitems attach to the correct parent Items. Mapping discrepancies are corrected in the transform layer before the full migration proceeds.
Production migration and reconciliation
We run production migration in dependency order: Companies first (as Monday.com CRM Companies), then Contacts linked to Companies, then Deals linked to Contacts and Companies, then Activities as subitems on the relevant Deal or Contact Items, then service ticket records to the service Board. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report that we compare against the VAIL-CRM extraction counts. Discrepancies are investigated and corrected before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze VAIL-CRM writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We validate record counts in Monday.com against the extraction baseline, spot-check 25-50 records for data accuracy, and confirm that pipeline stage distributions match expectations. We deliver the automation inventory document to the customer admin team and support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild automations as part of the migration scope.
