Overview
Moving from Workpex to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration that starts with a constraint: Workpex has no documented public API, so every record must be extracted via CSV export or database access before import into Monday.com's board-and-column model. Workpex Leads and Contacts map to Monday.com CRM Items on the Contacts board, Companies map to the Companies board, Deals map to the Deals pipeline board with stage mapped to a Status column, and Tasks, Call Records, and Reminders become Items or Subitems on linked boards. We perform a pre-migration audit to identify every Workpex custom field, WhatsApp message log, and GPS location record before mapping begins, so no data silently fails to transfer. Monday.com's automation recipes, board views, and integrations do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every automation requiring rebuild. Timeline and cost scale with record volume, GPS data complexity, and the number of custom fields that require column creation in Monday.com.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Workpex 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.
Workpex
Lead
monday CRM
Item on Contacts board
1:1Workpex Leads migrate as Items on Monday.com CRM's Contacts board. We map the Lead status field to a Status or Dropdown column on the board, preserving source tracking information in text columns. Because Monday.com CRM has no separate Lead object, all Workpex Leads land in the Contacts board with a lead-specific status label rather than a Lead-to-Contact conversion step.
Workpex
Contact
monday CRM
Item on Contacts board
1:1Workpex Contacts migrate as Items on Monday.com CRM's Contacts board. Standard fields (name, phone, email, address) map to typed columns on the board. Any custom fields discovered during the pre-migration audit are created as columns and mapped individually. Contact-to-Lead associations from Workpex are preserved as a Link to Item column or a text reference column in Monday.com since the native many-to-many link model does not enforce referential integrity automatically.
Workpex
Company
monday CRM
Item on Companies board
1:1Workpex Companies migrate as Items on a separate Companies board in Monday.com CRM. We create the Companies board with typed columns for company name, domain, industry, size, and address fields. After Companies are imported, the Contacts board gets a Link to Item column so that each Contact Item can be linked to its parent Company Item. This link is the closest Monday.com equivalent to the Contact-to-Company relationship in Workpex.
Workpex
Deal
monday CRM
Item on Deals pipeline board
1:1Workpex Deals migrate as Items on the Deals pipeline board in Monday.com CRM. Deal fields (name, amount, close date, owner) map to columns. The Workpex pipeline stage maps to the Status column Group values, which function as pipeline stages in Monday.com's board view. If Workpex has multiple deal pipelines, we create separate board views or sub-boards in Monday.com and map pipeline assignment accordingly.
Workpex
Pipeline Stage
monday CRM
Status column Group
lossyWorkpex pipeline stages become Monday.com Status column groups on the Deals board. Each stage name migrates as a Group label. Stage ordering is preserved by sorting the Groups in the Monday.com board settings. Deprecated or custom stage values from Workpex are flagged for value-mapping review before import so that no deal lands in an unintended stage.
Workpex
Task
monday CRM
Item or Subitem on linked board
1:1Workpex Tasks migrate as Items on a Tasks board or as Subitems on the related Contact or Deal Item. We use the destination structure that matches the customer's workflow: Subitems are preferred when tasks belong to a single Contact or Deal; a standalone Tasks board is used when tasks span multiple entities. Status and assignee columns map directly; due date maps to a Date column.
Workpex
Follow-up Reminder
monday CRM
Date column + Text column
1:1Workpex Follow-up Reminders do not have a direct Monday.com equivalent. We map Reminder dates to a Date column and Reminder descriptions to a Text column on the related Contact or Deal Item, or store them as a dedicated Reminder Subitem. The customer chooses the target structure during scoping based on how their team uses reminders.
Workpex
Call Record
monday CRM
Item on Activities board
1:1Workpex Call Records migrate as Items on an Activities board with columns for call direction (inbound/outbound), duration, timestamp, disposition, and a link to the related Contact or Deal Item. Call recording URLs are stored as a URL column. Large call volumes may require batched import. Call disposition values that are custom in Workpex are mapped to a Dropdown column in Monday.com and flagged if the value set is large.
Workpex
Custom Field
monday CRM
Column on relevant board
lossyWorkpex custom fields on Leads and Contacts are discovered during the pre-migration audit. We create corresponding columns in Monday.com using the closest matching column type: text fields map to Text columns, numeric fields to Number columns, date fields to Date columns, and multi-option fields to Dropdown or Tags columns. Any custom fields with data types not supported by Monday.com column types are flagged for manual review before migration.
Workpex
User
monday CRM
Person column or assignee
1:1Workpex Users and Owners referenced on Leads, Contacts, Deals, and Tasks are mapped to Monday.com board members. We extract the distinct owner list from Workpex and resolve each by email against the Monday.com workspace members. Any Workpex owner without a matching Monday.com user is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before record import.
Workpex
WhatsApp Interaction
monday CRM
Item on Activities board or conversation thread
1:1Workpex WhatsApp message logs are exported and mapped to Items on an Activities board or stored as a text/conversation column on the related Contact Item. Rich media attachments from WhatsApp require separate handling: files are exported as attachments and re-linked to the Contact Item via URL column. The conversation thread structure is flattened into a chronological text log since Monday.com does not have a native conversation threading object.
Workpex
GPS Tracking Data
monday CRM
Location columns or coordinate fields
1:1Workpex GPS tracking data is exported during the scoping phase. The underlying GPS data model is undocumented, so we discover the structure from the export file and map it to Location columns or separate latitude and longitude Number columns in Monday.com. If the GPS data format is binary or proprietary, we flag it for manual review before import. GPS records linked to Call Records are associated via a Link to Item column on the Activities board.

Migration approach
Pre-migration audit and export planning
We audit the Workpex account across all objects — Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks, Call Records, Reminders, WhatsApp logs, GPS data, custom fields, and user assignments. Because Workpex has no API, this audit relies on screenshots of the UI, sample CSV exports, and customer-provided field documentation. We produce a written Export Checklist specifying which objects to export in which order, the expected record count per object, and any export options (full export vs. batched) that apply. Any data not visible in the standard CSV export — custom fields, WhatsApp logs, GPS records — is flagged and we request extended exports or database access before mapping begins.
Monday.com board design and column mapping
We design the Monday.com CRM board structure to match the migrated data: a Contacts board with typed columns for name, phone, email, and status, a Companies board with a link column back to Contacts, a Deals pipeline board with Status groups matching Workpex pipeline stages, and an Activities board for Calls, Meetings, and Notes. Custom fields discovered in the Workpex audit are created as columns on the relevant board before import begins. We use the Monday.com API to create boards and columns programmatically, reducing manual setup time.
Customer-led data export and file handover
Because Workpex has no API, the customer performs the export using our Export Checklist. We guide the customer through exporting each object in CSV format, validating file completeness against the record counts identified in the audit, and handing off the files to us. For large datasets, we coordinate batched exports to avoid UI timeout. We validate every file before import: checking column headers against the mapping, flagging missing fields, and confirming that the number of exported records matches the expected count from the audit.
Data transformation and import sequencing
We transform Workpex records into Monday.com-compatible format. This includes splitting Workpex Leads and Contacts into the Contacts board Items, mapping pipeline stages to Status Group values, converting Reminder dates to Date columns, parsing call duration and disposition into separate columns, and resolving User assignments by email match against Monday.com workspace members. WhatsApp logs are parsed into chronological text threads or activity Items. GPS coordinates are extracted into latitude and longitude Number columns or Location columns. Import runs in dependency order: Companies first (so link columns can reference them), then Contacts (with link columns to Companies), then Deals (with link columns to Contacts), then Activities.
Sandbox validation and reconciliation
For accounts with more than 2,000 records, we run a test import into a Monday.com workspace copy to validate column mapping, verify link resolution between boards, and confirm that no records were silently dropped. The customer reviews the test board and spot-checks records against the source Workpex data. Any mapping corrections are documented and the test import is repeated until the customer signs off. This step prevents production import errors and reduces post-migration cleanup.
Production import and cutover
We run the production import in dependency order, freezing Workpex writes during the final export window. After import, we deliver a row-count reconciliation report comparing Workpex record totals to Monday.com imported totals. Any gaps are investigated and resolved. We deliver a written inventory of Workpex automations, reminders, and alerts requiring rebuild in Monday.com's automation builder, along with a step-by-step guide for the most commonly used recipes. We do not rebuild Workpex automations as Monday.com automations inside the migration scope.
