Overview
Virtual Case Management systems in human services and social program contexts store client records, case files, service delivery logs, and referral chains across structured databases. Monday CRM represents this data differently: clients become People board items, cases become Items on a Cases board, case workers map to User-column assignments, and referral chains map to linked Items across boards using monday CRM's Connect Boards column type. The core migration challenge is translating flat client records with multiple associated cases into monday CRM's one-entity-per-row board model, where each row represents one client or case and relationships between rows are established through column links rather than relational foreign keys. FlitStack AI extracts Virtual Case Management data via structured export or API, normalizes multi-case client records into separate Item rows per case, maps status values to Monday column statuses, and preserves attachment files by re-uploading them into monday CRM's file storage. Custom fields and extended client attributes migrate as custom columns using Monday's text, number, date, and dropdown column types. The migration carries all standard objects — clients, cases, case workers, services, referrals — and preserves original intake timestamps, assigned case workers, and case-status history. Workflows, automated rules, notification templates, and reporting configurations do not transfer; those must be rebuilt using Monday's no-code automation recipes. Monday's API daily limits (1,000 calls on Basic/Standard, 10,000 on Pro) govern export pacing during the data-pull phase.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Virtual Case Management 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.
Virtual Case Management
Client Record
monday CRM
People Board Item (People column)
1:1Each Virtual Case Management client record maps to one Item in Monday CRM's People board using the Person column type. The Person column stores name and contact information. Clients with multiple associated cases retain a single Person record linked to each related Case Item via the Connect Boards column.
Virtual Case Management
Client Name (First + Last)
monday CRM
Person Column (First Name / Last Name)
1:1Virtual Case Management stores client names as a combined field or separate first/last fields. FlitStack splits the combined value at the first space delimiter and populates Monday's Person column's structured name fields so the People board displays names in proper format.
Virtual Case Management
Client Contact (Email, Phone, Address)
monday CRM
Person Column + Text/Phone/Location Columns
1:1Email maps to the Email sub-field of the Person column or a standalone Email column. Phone maps to a Phone column in E.164 format. Street address, city, state, and ZIP are parsed from a combined address field and mapped to separate Text columns for each component.
Virtual Case Management
Client Demographics (Date of Birth, Gender, Ethnicity)
monday CRM
Custom Columns on People Board
1:1Demographic fields from Virtual Case Management migrate as custom columns on the People board. Date of Birth becomes a Date column formatted to preserve the original date value. Gender and ethnicity map to Dropdown columns with their original enumerated values preserved as options, ensuring data integrity and enabling filtering and grouping by demographic categories on the People board.
Virtual Case Management
Case Record
monday CRM
Cases Board Item
1:1Each Virtual Case Management case record maps to one Item in a Cases board. The case ID from the source is preserved as a text field for traceability. Cases are linked to their client via the Connect Boards column pointing to the corresponding Person Item.
Virtual Case Management
Case Status (Intake, Active, Pending, Closed)
monday CRM
Status Column on Cases Board
1:1Case lifecycle statuses from Virtual Case Management are mapped value-by-value to Monday CRM Status column options. A custom Status column is created on the Cases board with the same stage names as options. Stage-entered dates migrate as separate Date columns if present in the source.
Virtual Case Management
Case Type / Program Category
monday CRM
Dropdown Column on Cases Board
1:1Case type values from Virtual Case Management (e.g., Child Welfare, Behavioral Health, Housing) are mapped to a Dropdown column on the Cases board. Each program category becomes a Dropdown option so Cases can be filtered by type across the board.
Virtual Case Management
Case Worker / Assigned Staff
monday CRM
Person Column on Cases Board
1:1The assigned case worker from Virtual Case Management maps to a Person column on the Cases board. Monday's Person column accepts user email addresses or names. FlitStack resolves case workers to Monday user accounts by email match; unresolved workers are flagged for manual assignment.
Virtual Case Management
Service Delivery Log
monday CRM
Subitem on Case Item or Separate Services Board Item
1:manyService entries in Virtual Case Management (date, service type, duration, notes) can map as Subitems on the linked Case Item in Monday CRM. Each Subitem inherits the parent case's client link. For high-volume service logs, FlitStack can create a separate Services board and link each service entry to its Case Item via Connect Boards.
Virtual Case Management
Referral Record (Referring Agency, Date, Status)
monday CRM
Referrals Board Item linked via Connect Boards
1:1Referrals are migrated as Items in a dedicated Referrals board. The Connect Boards column links each referral to the receiving case and the referring agency. Referral status (Pending, Accepted, Rejected) maps to a Status column on the Referrals board with value-by-value mapping from the source.
Virtual Case Management
Document / File Attachment
monday CRM
File Upload Column on Case Item
1:1Files attached to case records in Virtual Case Management — intake forms, service agreements, court documents — are downloaded and re-uploaded to the File Upload column on the corresponding Case Item in Monday CRM. File names and original upload timestamps are preserved as metadata.
Virtual Case Management
Case Notes / Activity Log
monday CRM
Updates / Activity Column or Notes Column on Case Item
1:1Chronological case notes from Virtual Case Management migrate as individual Updates on the Case Item in Monday CRM, preserving the note text, original author, and timestamp for each entry. For structured activity fields or consolidated note content, a Notes column (long-text type) consolidates the log and allows for bulk viewing of all case documentation within the item.
Virtual Case Management
Intake Date / Open Date
monday CRM
Date Column on Cases Board
1:1The original case open date from Virtual Case Management maps to a Date column on the Cases board. Monday CRM's Date column stores the date in YYYY-MM-DD format. The original intake timestamp is preserved for reporting continuity even though Monday sets its own Created Date at migration time.
Virtual Case Management
Custom Fields (Extended Client Attributes)
monday CRM
Custom Columns on People Board
1:1Virtual Case Management custom fields on client records (e.g., insurance ID, referral source, risk level) require custom columns in Monday CRM. FlitStack creates Text, Number, Dropdown, or Date columns as appropriate for each field type. Pick-list custom fields become Dropdown columns with source values as options.
Virtual Case Management
Workflows / Automated Rules
monday CRM
None — rebuild required
1:1Automated intake routing, status-change notifications, and assignment rules in Virtual Case Management have no direct equivalent in Monday CRM's architecture. FlitStack exports workflow definitions as a reference document for rebuilding in Monday's automation recipes. Monday's automation builder supports trigger-action recipes (e.g., When Status changes to Closed, notify assigned case worker).

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discover source data model and export structure
FlitStack analyzes the Virtual Case Management database schema and export format — whether provided as a structured database export, CSV bundle, or API pull. We count clients, cases, service entries, referrals, and attachments. We identify custom fields, pick-list value sets, and relationship cardinality (one-to-one, one-to-many). This phase produces a data inventory spreadsheet that becomes the basis for the field mapping plan.
Design Monday CRM board structure and column schema
Before any data moves, FlitStack creates a Monday CRM board blueprint: People board for clients, Cases board for case records, optional Referrals and Services boards, and the Connect Boards columns linking them. We create all custom columns (Dropdown options, Date columns, Person columns) based on the source field inventory. This step ensures the Monday schema is ready before the migration validator runs.
Resolve case worker email addresses to Monday user accounts
Monday CRM Person columns require a Monday user account for assignment. FlitStack matches each case worker from the source system to a Monday user by email address. Workers without a Monday account are flagged in the migration plan with a recommendation to create their accounts before the cutover run. No Case Item lands in Monday without a resolved or flagged owner assignment.
Run sample migration with field-level validation
A representative sample — typically 50–200 records across clients, cases, services, and referrals — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against the Monday board items, verifying that Status column options are correct, Connect Boards links resolve, Person column assignments map cleanly, and custom Dropdown values populate as expected. The client reviews the validated sample output and confirms data accuracy before the full migration run commits to the production Monday CRM workspace.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
The full dataset loads into Monday CRM boards. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after the main run) captures any new or modified records created in the Virtual Case Management system during the cutover window. FlitStack provides an audit log of every item created and a one-click rollback plan if the reconciliation check reveals data integrity issues requiring a re-run.
