Overview
Visionary CRM holds data in a conventional object model — contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom fields with relational links. Monday CRM is a board-based Work OS that represents all CRM entities as items on boards, with column types standing in for field-level properties. The structural gap between these models is the central migration challenge: a Visionary contact becomes a Monday CRM item on a Contacts board; a Visionary deal becomes an item on a Deals pipeline board; a Visionary company becomes a separate Company board or lives as a People/Company column on the Contact item. FlitStack AI extracts Visionary data via API, maps each object to its corresponding board structure, and creates Monday CRM column types (text, numbers, dates, dropdowns, formulas) to hold the field data. Owner resolution happens by email match against Monday CRM users. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) translates into item updates or subitems. Automations, workflows, and sequences do not migrate — Monday's automation infrastructure has a different trigger model and daily action limits that make a direct translation invalid. We export the automation definitions from Visionary as a rebuild reference so your Monday admin can recreate the logic using Monday Workflows or Integrations. Custom fields map to Monday custom columns; pick-list value sets require manual recreation in Monday's column settings because Monday does not enforce a global value-set library. The migration runs in phases: schema-first board setup, then a sample migration with a field-level diff, then full migration with a 24–48 hour delta pickup window. Billing contact and user-seat counts are preserved as custom columns since Monday has no native equivalent to Visionary's per-seat licensing model.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Visionary 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.
Visionary
Contact
monday CRM
Monday CRM Contact Board / Item
1:1Visionary contacts map to Monday CRM as items on a Contact board. Each contact property (name, email, phone, title) becomes a column on the board. Monday CRM stores contacts as items; there is no separate contact object — the board itself represents the Contact entity. Owner assignment maps to the Person column, linking the item to a Monday CRM user.
Visionary
Company
monday CRM
Monday CRM Company Board or Company Column
1:1Visionary companies map to Monday CRM either as items on a dedicated Company board or as People/Company-type column values on the Contact board. The mapping choice depends on your reporting needs: a separate board supports filtering contacts by company across all deals; a column on the Contact board reduces board count but limits cross-entity reporting.
Visionary
Deal / Opportunity
monday CRM
Monday CRM Deals Board
1:1Visionary deals map to Monday CRM as items on a Deals board structured as a pipeline view. Each pipeline stage in Visionary becomes a status group (column) on the Deals board. Deal amount maps to a Numbers column, close date to a Date column, and owner to a Person column. Monday's built-in pipeline view renders the stages visually without additional configuration.
Visionary
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Monday CRM Status Column Groups
1:1Visionary pipeline stages map to Monday CRM Status column options. Each stage name is entered as a distinct Status value. Stage ordering is preserved by setting the Status column configuration sequence. Probability and weighted-value fields do not have a native Monday equivalent and are stored as Numbers or Formula columns if reporting requires them.
Visionary
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
monday CRM
Monday CRM Item Updates / Subitems
1:1Visionary activity records (calls, emails, meetings with timestamps and notes) map to Monday CRM as item Updates on the contact or deal item. For detailed activity logs, subitems are used: each activity becomes a subitem on the parent contact or deal item with Status, Date, and Long Text columns capturing the activity type, timestamp, and body. This preserves the chronological feed without duplicating the item count.
Visionary
Note
monday CRM
Monday CRM Item Updates or Long Text Column
1:1Visionary notes attached to contacts or deals migrate as Long Text column content on the parent item or as Updates in the item's activity feed. If notes carry timestamps, the Long Text column is preferred so the date context is retained. Rich-text formatting is simplified since Monday's update feed does not preserve full HTML formatting.
Visionary
Custom Field / Custom Property
monday CRM
Monday CRM Custom Column
1:1Visionary custom fields on any object map to Monday CRM custom columns of the matching type (Text, Number, Date, Dropdown, Checkbox). Monday columns are board-scoped — custom fields that need to appear on multiple boards require column recreation per board. Pick-list values from Visionary require manual re-entry in Monday's column settings because Monday does not maintain a global value-set library.
Visionary
Owner / User
monday CRM
Monday CRM User Person Column
1:1Visionary owner IDs resolve by email match against Monday CRM users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either creates Monday CRM user accounts or assigns records to a fallback owner. Monday's permission model is workspace/board-based rather than object-level, so Visionary's per-record owner permission sets do not have a direct equivalent.
Visionary
Attachment / File
monday CRM
Monday CRM File Column
1:1Visionary file attachments on contacts, deals, or companies migrate to Monday CRM's File column type on the corresponding item. File size limits are handled at the Monday level (25MB default). Inline images in Visionary notes are downloaded and reattached as files. Files that reference external URLs are stored as Link columns.
Visionary
Workflow / Automation
monday CRM
None — Rebuild Required
1:1Visionary workflows, sequences, and automation rules do not migrate. Monday CRM's automation infrastructure (Workflows, Integrations) uses a different trigger model, daily action caps per plan (250 on Standard, 25,000 on Pro, unlimited on Enterprise), and board-specific scoping. FlitStack AI exports your Visionary automation definitions as a structured reference document for your Monday admin to rebuild using Monday's recipe builder or integrations.
Visionary
Sequence / Sequence Enrollment
monday CRM
None — Manual Rebuild Required
1:1Visionary sequences (multi-step outreach sequences with steps, delays, and A/B conditions) have no equivalent in Monday CRM. Monday does not support native sequence or cadence management. If sequences are critical to your process, they must be rebuilt using a dedicated sequence tool (e.g., Outreach, Salesloft) and integrated with Monday CRM via Zapier or native integration. We export sequence definitions for reference.
Visionary
Report / Dashboard
monday CRM
Monday CRM Dashboard (partial)
1:1Visionary reports and dashboards do not migrate. Monday CRM's Dashboard widget aggregates data across up to 5 boards on Standard, expanding to unlimited boards on Pro and Enterprise. Chart types, groupings, and filters must be rebuilt. The underlying data from Visionary migrates so reporting has a complete dataset to work with, but the report configurations are not transferable.

Migration approach
Audit Visionary data model and map to Monday board structure
FlitStack AI reads Visionary's object schema via API — contacts, companies, deals, custom objects, custom fields, and pick-list value sets. We map each Visionary object to a Monday CRM board design: objects become boards, object properties become columns, and pick-list values become column options. This produces a Monday board setup plan showing which boards to create, which column types to configure, and which Visionary fields map where. You or your Monday admin pre-creates the boards before data loads so the schema is ready for field validation.
Resolve Visionary owners to Monday CRM users by email
Visionary owner IDs are resolved by matching owner email addresses to Monday CRM user accounts. FlitStack generates a pre-migration owner resolution report: Monday CRM users who match by email are assigned directly; owners without a Monday account are flagged for your team to create accounts or assign to a fallback user. No record lands on Monday without a valid owner assignment. This step prevents orphaned items after migration.
Migrate core objects: Contacts, Companies, Deals, then Activity
FlitStack sequences the migration to respect dependency order: Companies first (since Contact items link to them via the People/Company column), then Contacts with their company links resolved, then Deals with links to both Contact and Company items, then activity history as subitems or updates. File attachments are uploaded to the File column on the parent item after the item record is created. This sequencing ensures that all foreign-key relationships in Visionary translate to Monday column links correctly.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing the source Visionary record against the destination Monday item, column by column. You verify pick-list value mapping, date preservation, owner resolution, and subitem structure before the full migration commits. This validation step catches column type mismatches, option-value gaps, and relationship resolution errors before volume migration begins.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
After sample validation, FlitStack runs the full migration in API-batched operations respecting Monday's per-plan rate limits (daily call cap and per-minute concurrency). During the cutover window your team continues working in Visionary. A delta-pickup phase (24–48 hours) captures records created or modified after the initial migration snapshot, applying updates to the Monday items. The audit log records every operation. If reconciliation fails, one-click rollback reverts the Monday account to its pre-migration state.
