Overview
XMPie is a Customer Communication Management and Variable Data Publishing platform — built around contacts, campaigns, products, audiences, and personalization assets stored in a structured object model tied to Adobe InDesign workflows. Monday CRM is a visual workspace platform that adopted CRM primitives (People, Deals, activity logging) within its board-and-item architecture. The two platforms share almost no schema conventions, which makes this migration a structural translation rather than a simple field copy. FlitStack AI extracts every XMPie object via the platform's API and export tooling: Contact and Company records with all properties, Campaign definitions with audience segments, Product catalog entries with pricing and SKU data, and any uploaded assets. These map into Monday CRM as follows — XMPie Contacts and Companies land in the People board and Companies board respectively; Campaign and Audience data maps to a custom board where each segment becomes an item with tracking columns; Product catalog records map to a custom Items or Deals board with pricing columns; assets and files are re-uploaded to Monday's file storage. Automations, Adobe InDesign template logic, personalization rules, and campaign scheduling do not migrate — those are destination-side rebuilds. The migration runs against Monday's REST API, respecting per-plan item limits (20,000 on Basic CRM, 35,000 on Standard CRM, 100,000 on Pro CRM) and column type constraints. Owner resolution matches XMPie user email addresses to Monday workspace members. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures in-flight records modified during the Monday board setup phase.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a XMPie 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.
XMPie
Contact / Recipient
monday CRM
Monday CRM People Board (item)
1:1Each XMPie contact record becomes a person item in Monday CRM's People board. The full name maps to the built-in 'Name' column; email, phone, and address fields map to the corresponding People board column types. XMPie contact properties (custom fields) map to Monday People columns.
XMPie
Company / Organization
monday CRM
Monday CRM Companies Board (item)
1:1XMPie company records become company items in Monday CRM's Companies board. The company name maps to the 'Name' column; domain, industry, and employee count map to text, dropdown, and number columns respectively. A person-to-company link is created via Monday's built-in relation column.
XMPie
Campaign / Circle Campaign
monday CRM
Monday CRM Custom Board (board with items)
1:1XMPie campaigns don't have a direct Monday CRM equivalent — Monday has no native campaign object. We create a custom Campaigns board where each campaign becomes an item, with columns for campaign name, status, start/end dates, and audience size pulled from XMPie's campaign definition.
XMPie
Audience / Audience Segment
monday CRM
Monday CRM Custom Board item (linked to Campaigns board)
1:1XMPie audience segments (created in Circle with segmentation rules) become items in the Campaigns board or a separate Segments board. The segment's name, size, and targeting criteria are stored in text and number columns. We preserve the segment-to-campaign link via a relation column.
XMPie
Product / uStore Product
monday CRM
Monday CRM Custom Board item (Products board)
1:1XMPie product catalog entries from uStore map to a Products board in Monday CRM. Fields including product name, catalog number, SKU, pricing, and description map to Monday column types (text, number, currency). Product images are uploaded as Monday file attachments on the item.
XMPie
Campaign Tracking / Analytics
monday CRM
Monday CRM Custom Columns on Campaign board items
1:1XMPie campaign metrics (sends, opens, clicks, conversions) are stored as custom number columns on the corresponding campaign item in Monday. If the team used UDM (XMPie's analytics module), individual engagement events are mapped to activity notes on the relevant person item.
XMPie
Contact Property (custom fields)
monday CRM
Monday CRM People Column (custom column)
1:1XMPie allows unlimited custom contact properties. Each custom property becomes a custom column in the People board. Column type is inferred from the source data type: text, number, date, dropdown, or checkbox. Multi-value properties are stored as text with comma separation.
XMPie
Asset / Document / Print File
monday CRM
Monday CRM File Attachment on item
1:1XMPie uploaded assets (images, PDFs, print files) are re-uploaded to Monday CRM as file attachments on the relevant item (person, company, product, or campaign). Monday's 250MB per-file limit applies. Large InDesign template files are not migrated — those are source-platform artifacts.
XMPie
Store / uStore Store
monday CRM
Monday CRM Workspace or Custom Board (no equivalent)
1:1XMPie uStore is a standalone e-commerce storefront configuration with its own settings, pricing rules, and checkout flows. It has no Monday CRM equivalent. The store product catalog migrates to the Products board; the storefront configuration itself must be recreated manually in Monday or a separate e-commerce tool.
XMPie
User / Circle User
monday CRM
Monday CRM Workspace Member
1:1XMPie Circle users are matched to Monday CRM workspace members by email address. The user's name, email, and role in Circle are stored as custom columns on the Monday member profile for audit purposes. Monday workspace permissions are applied independently of the XMPie role model.

Migration approach
Audit XMPie data inventory and export scope
FlitStack AI connects to your XMPie instance via API and generates a full data inventory: contact count, company count, campaign definitions, audience segment list, product catalog entries, and asset file list. We produce a record-count baseline and flag any XMPie objects that have no Monday CRM equivalent (uStore storefront, InDesign template configurations, personalization rules). This inventory drives the board-design phase and confirms the target Monday plan's item limits will accommodate the export.
Design Monday CRM board structure and column schema
Based on the XMPie data inventory, FlitStack AI designs the Monday CRM board architecture: People board, Companies board, Campaigns board, Segments board, and Products board. For each board, we define column types that match XMPie field data (text, number, date, dropdown, relation). Monday custom columns are created during this phase. If the dataset exceeds the target plan's item limit, we plan board segmentation by region, campaign type, or product category.
Resolve users and map ownership
XMPie Circle users are matched to Monday CRM workspace members by email address. FlitStack AI produces an owner-resolution report: matched users map directly to Monday members and inherit their workspace permissions; unmatched XMPie owners are flagged and assigned to a designated Monday workspace member as a fallback. This ensures every migrated contact, company, campaign, and product item has a Monday owner before the import runs. Owner mapping is recorded in the migration audit log for traceability.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records (covering contacts, companies, a campaign, an audience segment, and a product entry) migrates first. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against Monday column values for each record. You verify column mapping correctness, audience segment linkage, and file attachment re-uploads before the full run commits. This dry-run validates the schema translation and catches any missing dropdown values or malformed data before committing the full dataset.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full XMPie export migrates into the Monday CRM boards. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records modified in XMPie during the cutover. FlitStack AI's audit log records every operation including record ID, timestamp, and action type. After the delta window closes, a reconciliation report compares Monday item counts against the XMPie baseline and highlights any missing or duplicate entries. One-click rollback is available if counts or field values show material discrepancy, allowing you to re-import with corrected mappings.
Deliver rebuild reference and post-migration handoff
FlitStack AI delivers a written automation-rebuild reference document listing every XMPie campaign automation, personalization rule, and scheduling trigger with a plain-language description for your Monday admin. We also document the Monday board structure, column mappings, and any custom board design decisions. Post-migration, your team configures Monday automations in the Automation Center using the reference guide, and sets up Gmail/Outlook email sync on Standard CRM or higher if activity logging is required.
