Overview
Moving from Variable Soft CRM to Monday.com CRM is a data-centric migration because VSCRM exposes no public API. We work from customer-exported datasets, validate record counts and field completeness against the live VSCRM instance, then write into Monday.com CRM using the platform's board-and-item entity model. VSCRM Leads and Contacts map to Monday CRM People entities with lifecycle-stage preservation, VSCRM Companies map to Organizations, Deals map to Deals linked to the relevant Person or Organization, and Pipeline stages map to Monday CRM's board column structure. Because VSCRM automations are server-side with no export mechanism, we document every active automation during discovery and deliver a rebuild checklist for the customer's admin to reconstruct in Monday.com's Automations editor. Custom fields discovered in the VSCRM export map to Monday CRM's custom column types. The migration deliverable excludes Workflows, Sequences, Automations, Forms, Landing Pages, and Reports as these do not carry over in portable form.
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 Variable Soft 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.
Variable Soft CRM
Contact
monday CRM
People
1:1VSCRM Contact records map to Monday.com CRM People entities. We preserve the full contact name, email address, phone number, company association, and lifecycle stage as a custom People column. Lifecycle stage from VSCRM maps to a status or label column in Monday CRM's People entity. Email uniqueness serves as the dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate Person records.
Variable Soft CRM
Lead
monday CRM
People
1:1VSCRM Lead records are distinct from Contacts in VSCRM and map to Monday CRM People entities with a Lead source column to distinguish from converted Contacts. Lead status, owner assignment, and source attribution migrate as custom columns. Any Lead that shares an email address with an existing Contact is flagged for merge during reconciliation rather than created as a duplicate.
Variable Soft CRM
Company / Account
monday CRM
Organization
1:1VSCRM Company records map to Monday.com CRM Organization entities. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields migrate as typed Organization columns. Organization is created before any linked Contact or Deal import so that the relationship is satisfied at insert time. VSCRM's Company-Contact parent-child relationship maps to the Monday CRM People-Organization link.
Variable Soft CRM
Deal
monday CRM
Deal
1:1VSCRM Deal records map to Monday.com CRM Deal entities with deal name, value (amount), expected close date, owner, and stage. The deal-contact association preserves through a link to the Monday CRM Person entity. Deal value migrates as a numeric column and is used in Monday CRM's native Deal board views and revenue forecasting.
Variable Soft CRM
Pipeline
monday CRM
Board (Deal Board)
lossyVSCRM named pipelines with custom stages map to Monday CRM Deal boards. Each pipeline in VSCRM becomes a separate board in Monday CRM, with the board columns representing the stage sequence. We recreate the stage names and ordering from the VSCRM export and configure the board status column to match the original pipeline logic. Stages with no associated deals are included as column values to preserve the complete pipeline structure.
Variable Soft CRM
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Board Column (Status)
lossyVSCRM pipeline stage labels map to Monday CRM board column options within the status group. Probability percentages from VSCRM stage settings do not have a native Monday CRM equivalent, so we store the original probability as a numeric column for reporting reference. Stage ordering is preserved through column sequence in the board configuration.
Variable Soft CRM
Custom Fields (Contacts, Companies, Deals)
monday CRM
Custom Columns
lossyVSCRM custom fields have no public schema, so we discover field names and types from the customer's export file. Text fields map to Monday CRM text columns. Numeric fields map to numbers columns. Date fields map to date columns. Multi-value or list fields map to dropdown or标签 columns depending on cardinality. We validate the discovered field list against the export before writing to Monday CRM and surface any gaps where empty fields were omitted from the export.
Variable Soft CRM
Activity (Call, Email, Task, Meeting)
monday CRM
Activity Log entries
1:1VSCRM activity records (calls, emails, tasks, meetings) linked to Contact or Deal records migrate to Monday CRM Activity Log entries on the linked Person or Deal. Activity type, timestamp, subject, and content migrate. Activity notes and body text migrate as a text column on the activity log entry. We flag any activity records without a valid linked Person or Deal for manual assignment during reconciliation.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export facilitation and data audit
We coordinate with the customer's VSCRM team to request a complete data export. Because VSCRM has no self-serve export API, we guide the customer through the platform's export tool or request a database dump. We audit the export for record counts (Contacts, Leads, Companies, Deals, Pipelines, Activities), field coverage, and relationship integrity. We surface any structural gaps in the export and request supplemental data before proceeding. This phase produces a written data inventory that serves as the migration baseline.
Custom field discovery and type mapping
Because VSCRM does not publish its field schema, we extract the full field list from the customer's export file header. We map each discovered field to a Monday CRM column type (text, number, date, dropdown, label, checkbox) based on the data values observed. We validate the mapping against a sample of 50-100 records before committing to the full migration. Any fields with mixed data types (e.g., a text field containing both dates and numbers) are flagged for manual type selection during scoping.
Monday CRM workspace and board configuration
We configure the Monday CRM workspace before data migration begins. This includes setting up the People entity with standard and custom columns, the Organizations entity with company fields, and the Deals board with pipeline columns matching the VSCRM stage sequence. We configure board automations for status-change triggers if the customer requests basic automation coverage during the rebuild phase. The board configuration is validated in a staging pass before records are written.
Record migration in dependency order
We run record migration in dependency order: Organizations first (from VSCRM Companies), then People (Contacts and Leads), then Deals linked to the resolved Person and Organization records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We cross-reference the Monday CRM record count against the VSCRM export baseline and investigate any discrepancies before proceeding to the next phase. Custom fields discovered during the audit phase are mapped in the same pass as their parent record type.
Activity history migration
We migrate VSCRM activity records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) to Monday CRM Activity Log entries. Activity type, timestamp, subject, and content migrate. We resolve the linked Person or Deal reference from VSCRM to the corresponding Monday CRM entity and create the activity log entry with the correct association. Activities without a valid link target are held in a reconciliation queue for manual assignment. Activity content migration depends on the supplemental export pass completed in Step 1.
Cutover, final reconciliation, and automation handoff
We run a final delta migration of any records created or modified in VSCRM during the migration window, then enable Monday CRM as the system of record. We deliver the automation rebuild checklist documenting every active VSCRM automation with its trigger, conditions, and actions and a recommended Monday CRM Automation equivalent. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild VSCRM automations in Monday.com as part of the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin using the delivered checklist.
