Overview
Moving from Comidor to monday.com is a migration from a BPM-centric platform with no public API to a board-centric platform with a documented GraphQL API. Comidor stores work across Apps, Workflows, Issues, Contacts, Accounts, Files, Custom User Fields, and a Knowledge Base. We have no programmatic extraction path from Comidor — every data export relies on CSV downloads from the Comidor UI, supplemented by manual field definition capture. We sequence the migration to extract Custom User Field definitions first (because they are globally scoped and cross-referenced), then Issues and contacts in dependency order, then Files. BPMN 2.0 workflow definitions and Process Scheduling configurations do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every Comidor Workflow and automation with a recommended monday.com equivalent (automations, dependencies, integrations) for your admin to rebuild. Knowledge Base articles migrate as records;Leia chatbot associations are flagged for manual reconfiguration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Comidor object lands in monday Work Management, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Comidor
App
monday Work Management
Board (or Workspace)
1:1Each Comidor App built in App Designer maps to a monday.com Board, or to a dedicated Workspace if the app represents a separate business unit. Within the board, Comidor app sections map to Groups, and app records map to Items. Custom column types defined in the Comidor App Designer translate to monday.com column types (text, number, date, status, dropdown, formula). Complex app logic, sub-forms, and conditional visibility rules do not migrate and are documented for manual rebuild. App Designer configurations are captured as structured schema packages and as a written board design guide.
Comidor
Workflow
monday Work Management
Automation (plus dependency rules)
lossyComidor BPMN 2.0 workflow definitions are extracted as portable configuration packages. In monday.com, automated task assignments, conditional routing, and escalation triggers translate to automation recipes and item dependency rules. Multi-branch BPMN conditions with timers, parallel paths, or external system calls cannot be represented in monday.com's automation model and are flagged in the workflow inventory as requiring manual redesign or a third-party integration (Zapier, Make) to replicate the full logic.
Comidor
Issue
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Comidor Issues are the primary work record and map directly to monday.com Items. Issue status, priority, assignee, due date, description, and custom field values translate to corresponding Item columns. Issue-to-Contact and Issue-to-Account links translate to monday.com person columns or connected boards depending on the relationship cardinality. Closed/open status maps to Item archive state or a status column value.
Comidor
Contact
monday Work Management
Person (or Item in People Board)
1:1Comidor Contacts map to monday.com person records if the monday CRM product is active, or to Items in a dedicated People board if using monday.com Work Management. Contact fields (name, email, phone, address) map to monday.com text and contact columns. Custom User Fields attached to Contact records map to monday.com column types with type coercion (multi-select to dropdown, date to date column, number to number column). Contact-to-Account relationships with many-to-many cardinality require a junction board or monday.com's Relations column type.
Comidor
Account
monday Work Management
Group (or separate Board)
1:1Comidor Accounts map to monday.com Groups within a People board (if monday CRM is active), or to a separate Accounts board if using Work Management. Account fields map to monday.com column types, with the account name as the primary text. The many-to-many relationship between Contact and Account in Comidor resolves to monday.com's Relations column or a linked board pattern depending on the relationship complexity.
Comidor
File and Document
monday Work Management
File attachment on Item
1:1Comidor files and documents stored as attachments or standalone content management records migrate as file attachments on the corresponding monday.com Items. We extract binary files and associated metadata (filename, size, upload date, uploader) and attach them to the target Item. Storage tier restrictions from Comidor (if on a limited plan) may affect what files are accessible for export; we audit storage limits during scoping. monday.com's file storage limits per plan (500 MB on some tiers) are reviewed and flagged if the migrated file volume exceeds the destination plan allowance.
Comidor
Custom User Field
monday Work Management
Column
lossyComidor Custom User Fields are globally reusable across multiple objects and are referenced inside Workflows and User Forms. We extract field definitions first in the migration sequence before any object records, because the field must exist before any record referencing it can be valid. Each Custom User Field maps to a monday.com Column of the closest equivalent type: text fields map to text columns, picklists to dropdown or status columns, numbers to number columns, dates to date columns, and multi-select to multi-select dropdown columns. Fields with cross-object references (lookup to another object) map to monday.com's Connect Boards column or a relation column with a note that manual board linkage is required.
Comidor
User Form
monday Work Management
Board column configuration
lossyComidor User Forms embed Custom User Fields and are used inside Workflows for data entry. Form field definitions map to monday.com board column configurations. Conditional show/hide logic within Comidor forms (based on field values) has no direct monday.com equivalent; these are documented in the handoff package as column dependency configurations where monday.com supports them (column dependencies between fields), or flagged as requiring manual workflow or integration-based alternatives.
Comidor
Knowledge Base
monday Work Management
Item (in Docs or a Board)
1:1Comidor Knowledge Base articles export as text-based records with category assignments and article body content. Articles map to Items in a dedicated monday.com board organized by category groups, or to monday.com Docs if the customer licenses that product. Article-to-article links, article-to-Leia chatbot associations, and any AI-driven response mapping are internal to Comidor and cannot be extracted; these are flagged in the handoff package as requiring manual review and bot reconfiguration using a third-party AI integration if the customer requires chatbot functionality at the destination.
Comidor
User
monday Work Management
User
1:1Comidor User accounts (name, email, role, team membership) map to monday.com User accounts. We match users by email address. Team membership in Comidor translates to monday.com Teams if the customer uses monday.com's team management features, or to Workspace membership at the board level. Any Comidor user without a matching monday.com account goes to a reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before record import.
Comidor
Team
monday Work Management
Team (or Workspace member group)
1:1Comidor Teams are groups of Users used in Workflow assignments and process routing. They map to monday.com Teams (available on Pro and Enterprise plans). If the destination monday.com plan does not include Teams, team membership maps to Workspace-level board sharing permissions or is documented as requiring manual assignment after migration.
Comidor
Process Scheduling
monday Work Management
Automation (scheduled trigger)
lossyComidor Process Scheduling configurations are execution settings (recurring workflow triggers, automated Issue creation intervals) and are not data records, so they cannot be exported as data. We extract the schedule configurations as written documentation during discovery and map each one to a monday.com Automation with a scheduled trigger. The customer rebuilds these in monday.com using our documented equivalent; they do not migrate as code.

Migration approach
Discovery and extraction planning
We audit the Comidor instance across all active modules (Apps, Workflows, Issues, Contacts, Accounts, Files, Knowledge Base) and identify the Comidor plan tier to determine which modules are present. We map every Custom User Field definition (name, type, valid values, cross-object references) and extract the full workflow configuration package. We identify any Leia chatbot associations with Knowledge Base articles. We then produce a written extraction plan: which objects export via CSV from the UI, which require manual field capture, and which (Process Scheduling, Leia config) cannot be extracted and are flagged for documentation only.
Source data extraction and field mapping design
The customer exports CSV data from Comidor under our extraction guide, which specifies the export path for each object, the fields to include, and the format for multi-value fields and dates. We receive the CSV exports and cross-reference them against the Custom User Field definitions captured in step one to identify any orphaned references or fields defined in a module not exported. We design the monday.com board schema: board names, group names, column names, column types, and default values. Any Comidor field that cannot map to a monday.com column type is flagged for type coercion or manual remediation before import.
Sandbox validation and column validation testing
We create a monday.com sandbox board (or test workspace) and run a partial import using a subset of Comidor data to validate column type compatibility, validate the Import API payload format (GraphQL mutation with strict column validation), and confirm that relationship lookups (Contact-to-Account, Issue-to-Contact) resolve correctly. Any ColumnValueException errors are reviewed, the field mapping is corrected, and the validation re-run. This step catches type mismatches before any production data is imported.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in record-dependency order: Custom User Field definitions first (as column creation payloads), then Files (attached to the target items after item creation), then Accounts (as Groups or Items in a People board), then Contacts (with Account/Group lookups resolved), then Issues (with assignees, status, priority, and Custom User Field values mapped), then Knowledge Base articles (as Items in a documentation board). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Workflow and Process Scheduling configurations are not migrated as code; they are delivered as a written inventory document at this stage.
Cross-board relationship resolution
Comidor Issues, Contacts, and Accounts have cross-object relationships (Issue linked to Contact and Account simultaneously, many-to-many Contact-Account). We resolve these using monday.com's Connect Boards column or Relation column depending on the relationship cardinality and the destination plan tier. If the destination plan lacks cross-board relations (Basic or Standard tier), we document the relationships as item column values (text-based IDs) and flag manual re-linking as a post-migration task.
Cutover, reconciliation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Comidor writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, and enable monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow Inventory and Process Scheduling Documentation to the customer's admin team, along with the monday.com board design guide showing the intended structure. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Comidor Workflows as monday.com automations as part of the migration scope; that work is either handled by the customer's admin using our documentation or as a separate monday.com automation implementation engagement.
