Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Wavity CRM to Monday.com CRM is a platform philosophy shift. Wavity stores CRM data in a traditional relational object model (Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Pipelines); Monday.com CRM represents the same data as boards, groups, and items with typed columns. There is no documented Wavity REST API, so data extraction runs through coordinated CSV exports from the Wavity UI, which we then parse, normalize, and map into Monday.com's board schema. Custom objects built with Wavity's Zero Code Application Designer require full schema discovery before migration because they have no standard export format. We do not migrate Wavity wBots (RPA workflows), reports, or dashboards as code; we deliver a written inventory of Wavity automations for your admin to rebuild as Monday.com automations post-migration. Monday.com CRM's per-user pricing starts at $12/month, significantly undercutting Wavity's $30/user/month annual Professional tier, making the platform switch economically attractive for teams leaving the five-seat minimum.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Wavity CRM logo

Wavity CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Annual billing requirement with a 5-user minimum can lock small teams into costs for seats they do not use.
  • Lack of transparent public API documentation makes third-party integrations and data export challenging for technical teams.
  • Mid-market positioning means it may lack the advanced enterprise features — complex approval hierarchies, granular audit logs — that larger organizations require.
  • Smaller market share compared to major CRMs results in fewer third-party integrations and a less mature ecosystem of plugins.

Choosing

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How Wavity CRM objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Wavity 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.

Wavity CRM

Contact

maps to

monday CRM

Contact board (Item)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Contact records map to Items in a dedicated Contacts board in Monday.com CRM. Standard fields (name, email, phone, title, address) migrate to matching Monday.com column types. Custom contact properties from Wavity become additional columns on the Contact board. We preserve the Contact-to-Account relationship as a Link to Item column pointing at the Account board.

Wavity CRM

Account (Company)

maps to

monday CRM

Account board (Item)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Account records map to Items in a Monday.com Account board. The Wavity domain field maps to the Website column. Account ownership migrates as a People column linked to the Monday.com user who owns the account. We create the Account board before Contact import so that the link column is satisfied at insert time.

Wavity CRM

Lead

maps to

monday CRM

Lead board or Contact board (Item)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Lead records migrate to a dedicated Leads board or directly into the Contact board depending on the customer's lead lifecycle. Lead source attribution, status, and scoring values from Wavity become columns on the destination board. Any Wavity lead scoring values map to a Number column for segmentation in Monday.com.

Wavity CRM

Opportunity

maps to

monday CRM

Deal board (Item)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Opportunities map to Items in a Monday.com Deal board, which is the CRM-native representation of a sales opportunity. Deal value maps to a Numbers column, stage to a Status column, and close date to a Date column. Owner assignment maps to a People column. We reconstruct the pipeline view in Monday.com using the Deal board's default grouping by Status.

Wavity CRM

Pipeline

maps to

monday CRM

Deal board Status column configuration

lossy
Fully supported

Wavity's customizable pipeline stages map to Monday.com Status column options on the Deal board. We extract every Wavity pipeline stage name, order, and probability percentage and configure the equivalent Status options in Monday.com. Stage probability percentages migrate as informational Number columns or are documented for the admin to set in Monday.com's deal settings.

Wavity CRM

Task

maps to

monday CRM

Task board (Item) or Activity item

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Task records with due dates, assignees, status, and linked records map to Items in a Monday.com Tasks board. Assignee maps to a People column, due date to a Date column, status to a Status column, and the linked Contact or Opportunity to a Link to Item column. Completion status migrates from Wavity's closed/won states to matching Status column values.

Wavity CRM

Appointment

maps to

monday CRM

Calendar board (Item) or Calendar integration

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Appointments with time, duration, attendees, and linked records map to Items in a Monday.com Calendar board. Start time and duration migrate to Date and Numbers columns. Attendees map to People columns or stay as text notes. We flag timezone discrepancies between Wavity and the target Monday.com workspace settings during schema review.

Wavity CRM

Ticket (Help Desk)

maps to

monday CRM

Support board (Item)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Ticket records migrate to Items in a Monday.com Support board. Status, priority, assignee, customer link, and conversation history migrate to matching columns. Ticket conversation threads (customer and agent replies) are preserved as a Long Text column or linked Items in a separate Thread board. Attachments migrate as file attachments re-uploaded to Monday.com and linked to the Ticket item.

Wavity CRM

Custom Object

maps to

monday CRM

Custom board (Item)

1:1
Fully supported

Wavity Zero Code Application Designer custom objects have no standard export format and require schema discovery before migration. We schedule a schema review call with the customer to document every custom object, its field types, and validation rules. Each custom object is then created as a dedicated Monday.com board with columns typed to match Wavity field types. Lookup relationships between custom objects and standard CRM objects are recreated as Monday.com Link to Item columns. This is the highest-effort object mapping in the migration.

Wavity CRM

Document / Attachment

maps to

monday CRM

File column or external link column

1:1
Fully supported

File attachments stored in Wavity are exported and re-uploaded to Monday.com as File column uploads or stored externally (Google Drive, SharePoint) with links preserved in a Link column. We maintain the attachment-to-record linkage by placing the file or link on the same Item that it was attached to in Wavity. Very large attachment volumes may require a staged upload strategy to stay within Monday.com storage limits.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Wavity has no documented public API for automated export

    Wavity does not publish a REST API or bulk data export endpoint in its public developer documentation. All migrations from Wavity must rely on CSV exports from the UI, manual data dumps, or working directly with Wavity's support team to extract structured data. We coordinate with Wavity's sales and technical contacts to request data exports in CSV format, then parse and normalize those exports for import into Monday.com. This coordination step adds two to five business days to the discovery phase and must be completed before any schema mapping begins.

  • Custom objects from Wavity's Zero Code Designer lack standard export format

    Teams that have built custom objects using Wavity's Zero Code Application Designer create schemas that do not map to any standard CRM object model and have no documented export path. These require manual schema discovery and field-by-field mapping during migration. We schedule a dedicated schema review call with the customer to document every custom object, field type, and validation rule before writing a single record to Monday.com. The migration timeline for accounts with more than three custom objects typically doubles because of this discovery work.

  • Monday.com automations are board-level and not equivalent to Wavity wBots

    Wavity's wBots provide RPA-grade workflow automation across the entire CRM, not just within a single board. Monday.com automations operate at the board level with trigger-action recipes. Workflow logic that spans multiple Wavity objects or performs multi-step conditional actions may not have a direct Monday.com equivalent. We document every active Wavity automation in a written inventory with a recommended Monday.com automation rebuild approach, but the rebuild itself is outside standard migration scope and requires your admin to implement in Monday.com's automation builder.

  • Monday.com has no native service desk; Wavity Help Desk Tickets require a rebuild decision

    Wavity includes a native Help and Service Desk module with a 96% five-star rating on G2. Monday.com CRM does not include a native service desk. Support tickets migrated from Wavity can be represented as Items in a Monday.com Support board, but the conversation threading, SLAs, and agent inbox features available in Wavity Help Desk do not exist natively in Monday.com. We flag this gap during scoping and the customer decides whether to accept the simplified board-based support model or plan for a third-party service desk integration (e.g., Zendesk, Front) post-migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Wavity CRM to monday CRM data migration

  1. Data export coordination with Wavity

    We contact Wavity's sales and technical team to request structured CSV exports of all CRM objects: Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, Pipelines, Tasks, Appointments, Tickets, and any custom objects. This step is the critical path because Wavity has no self-service export API. We provide Wavity with a data specification document listing every field required and the expected file format. Export delivery typically takes five to ten business days. Parallel to waiting for exports, we audit the Monday.com destination account for workspace structure, existing boards, and user provisioning.

  2. Schema discovery for custom objects

    For teams using Wavity's Zero Code Application Designer, we schedule a schema discovery call to document every custom object, its fields, data types, validation rules, and lookup relationships to standard CRM objects. We produce a written schema map that becomes the blueprint for creating the equivalent Monday.com boards. This step cannot be automated because Wavity does not expose custom object definitions through any export mechanism. No data is written to Monday.com during this phase.

  3. Monday.com board structure design

    We design the Monday.com board architecture before any data is imported. This includes creating a Contacts board, an Account board, a Deals board (with Status column options matching Wavity pipeline stages), a Tasks board, an Appointments/Calendar board, and a Support board for Tickets. For each custom object identified in step two, we create a dedicated board with columns typed to match the Wavity field schema. We configure Link to Item columns to maintain parent-child relationships between boards. The board structure is validated in a Monday.com test workspace before production data is imported.

  4. Data cleansing and deduplication

    We run a data quality pass on the Wavity CSV exports before import. This includes identifying duplicate Contacts and Accounts (deduped using email and domain as primary keys), flagging records with missing required fields (name and email), correcting inconsistent date formats, and removing records marked as inactive or test data in Wavity. We produce a deduplication report for the customer's review and apply their dedup rules (typically: keep oldest, keep newest, or manual review) before importing into Monday.com.

  5. Monday.com import and relationship resolution

    We import data into Monday.com in dependency order: Accounts first (because Contact-to-Account links must be satisfied at insert), then Contacts (with Account link resolved), then Leads, then Deals (with Owner and Account links resolved), then Tasks, then Appointments, then Tickets, then Custom Objects. Each object import emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use Monday.com's bulk CSV import for standard objects and the monday.com API for custom objects with complex field types. File attachments are re-uploaded and linked to their parent records.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation handoff

    We freeze Wavity write access during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the initial export, and enable Monday.com as the system of record. We validate record counts in Monday.com against the original Wavity exports and spot-check 25-50 records per object for field-level accuracy. We deliver the written Wavity automation inventory to the customer's admin team for Monday.com automation rebuild. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Post-cutover, Wavity is set to read-only for a 90-day retention period at the customer's discretion.

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

Most Wavity migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts and 2,000 Deals with no custom objects. Accounts with custom objects built in Wavity's Zero Code Application Designer extend to six to ten weeks because of the manual schema discovery required for each custom object and the Wavity CSV export coordination, which adds five to ten business days to the discovery phase regardless of data volume.
