Overview
Moving from Flowzone to monday.com is a structural migration that requires careful schema translation. Flowzone organises work as Lists containing Jobs with custom Columns; monday.com uses Boards containing Items with typed Columns. The most significant technical constraint on the source side is Flowzone's lack of a documented public API, which forces us to export via CSV where the platform permits and reconstruct records programmatically. We map Flowzone Jobs to monday.com Items, Lists to Boards (or Board groups), and custom column types (text, number, date, checkbox) to their monday.com equivalents. Documents attached to Jobs migrate as file attachments on Items, with approval status stored as a custom column value. Workflows, automations, custom dashboard panels, and form definitions do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of each for the customer's admin to rebuild using monday.com's Automation and Integrations layers.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Flowzone 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.
Flowzone
Job
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Flowzone Jobs are the central record, analogous to monday.com Items. We migrate Jobs 1:1 with their title, description, status, assigned users, and current workflow step preserved as a custom column value. The Job ID becomes the Item name; any sub-tasks within a Job map to Subitems in monday.com if the destination is on Pro or Enterprise, or as separate Items in a linked Board if on Standard. All Flowzone column values (text, numeric, date, checkbox) map to typed monday.com Columns using the column-type mapping defined during field-mapping phase.
Flowzone
List
monday Work Management
Board or Group
1:1Flowzone Lists are container views grouping Jobs. If the customer's Flowzone uses Lists as top-level project categories, we map each List to a monday.com Board. If Lists are used as finer-grained groupings within a project, we map to Groups within a Board. The choice is made during scoping based on the customer's intended monday.com workspace structure. We preserve the List order as Group order or Board sequence.
Flowzone
Column
monday Work Management
Column
1:1Flowzone custom columns (text, numeric, date, checkbox, dropdown) map to monday.com Column types: Text to Text Column, numbers to Numbers Column, dates to Date Column, checkboxes to Checkbox Column, and dropdown selections to Status Column (or Dropdown Column depending on use). We align field names and data types during the field-mapping phase before import, and flag any unsupported Flowzone column types that have no monday.com equivalent.
Flowzone
Document
monday Work Management
File Attachment
1:1Documents attached to Flowzone Jobs export as binary files with their filename, version, and approval status. We upload each file as an attachment on the corresponding monday.com Item. The approval status (approved, pending, rejected) is restored as a Status Column value on the Item. Annotation threads are UI-stored data that may not export in a portable format; we flag any annotated documents during the export audit and note that annotation detail requires manual reference or reconstruction in monday.com Comments.
Flowzone
Workflow
monday Work Management
Automation (documented only)
lossyFlowzone workflows with branching, looping, and step-jumping are step-based definitions that have no direct monday.com equivalent because monday.com automations use a trigger-condition-action recipe model without looping. We export the workflow definition and each Job's current step, then document each workflow as a written step-by-step description with recommended monday.com Automation recipes. The customer's admin rebuilds using monday.com's Automation Builder; we do not migrate workflow logic as code.
Flowzone
Activity
monday Work Management
Item with Date or Timeline Column
1:1Flowzone Activities (time-planned events, Pro plan only) capture date, assignee, and description against a Job. We export activity details and map them to monday.com Items with Date Column or Timeline Column populated from the activity start and end. If the customer uses the graphical timeline view in Flowzone Pro, we document the visual layout for recreation as a Timeline View in monday.com Pro.
Flowzone
Time Record
monday Work Management
Time Tracking Column or Numeric Column
1:1Flowzone time recording entries (Pro plan, £8/user) capture hours logged against a Job. We export the amount, date, and assignee and map to monday.com Time Tracking Column on the Item if the destination is on Pro or Enterprise, or to a Numeric Column with hours as a number if on Standard or Basic. Budget-to-actual comparison data from Flowzone is flagged for manual mapping in monday.com Dashboard if required.
Flowzone
Form
monday Work Management
Form (documented only)
lossyFlowzone Forms capture structured input linked to Jobs. We export the form schema and any submitted responses, mapping them to Items with Columns reflecting the form fields. The form-to-field routing configuration does not migrate; we document the form schema and the intended column mapping so the customer's admin can recreate the form using monday.com Forms (available on Standard and above) if needed.
Flowzone
User
monday Work Management
User
1:1Flowzone user accounts include group-based permissions. We export the user list and match by email address against monday.com User accounts. Users without a matching monday.com account go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Group membership maps to monday.com Workspace membership levels (Member, Viewer, Admin) based on the customer's role hierarchy in Flowzone.
Flowzone
Custom Dashboard Panel
monday Work Management
Chart View (documented only)
lossyFlowzone custom dashboard panels (bar charts, pie charts) are UI-level visualisations. The underlying data migrates through Jobs and Columns, but the panel layouts do not transfer. We document the panel names, data sources, and chart types so the customer's admin can rebuild them as Chart Views in monday.com Pro or as Dashboard widgets in monday.com's Dashboard layer.
Flowzone
External Sharing / Client Portal
monday Work Management
Guest Access
lossyFlowzone supports role-based permissions and external client portal sharing with fine-grained access control. monday.com offers Guest access on Standard and above, with board-level or item-level sharing. We document each Flowzone external user and their permission scope so the customer's admin can provision equivalent Guest accounts in monday.com and assign them to the relevant Boards or Items.
Flowzone
Approval Status
monday Work Management
Status Column
1:1Flowzone documents carry approval statuses (approved, pending, rejected) as part of their built-in approval workflow. We export the approval status and map it to a monday.com Status Column on the Item to which the document is attached. The approval-chain logic (who approved, in what order) is documented as part of the Workflow inventory and recommended for recreation using monday.com's Automation recipes if the approval sequence matters operationally.

Migration approach
Discovery and export feasibility assessment
We audit the Flowzone account across Lists, Jobs, Columns, Documents, Activities, time records, and user count. The primary constraint is Flowzone's absent public API: we assess whether CSV export is available for each object type, identify which objects require manual export, and estimate the volume of manual intervention required. We pair this with a monday.com edition assessment: Basic ($9/seat) for teams without automations, Standard ($12/seat) for teams needing Timeline and guest access, Pro ($19/seat) for teams requiring Time Tracking, Chart View, and formula columns. The discovery output is a written migration scope, export method per object, and monday.com plan recommendation.
CSV export and reconstruction
We export Flowzone data via CSV where the platform permits. For each object (Jobs, Lists, Columns, Documents), we run structured exports and reconstruct the records programmatically with a temporary internal ID mapping table. Documents are exported as binary files and organised by their parent Job ID. We flag any object type that cannot be exported via CSV and escalate to the customer for manual export assistance or sales-assisted retrieval. All exports are validated against a row-count reconciliation report before transformation begins.
Column-type mapping and schema design
We align Flowzone column definitions with monday.com column types during the field-mapping phase. Text columns map to monday.com Text Columns; numeric columns to Numbers Columns; dates to Date Columns; checkboxes to Checkbox Columns; and dropdown selections to Status or Dropdown Columns. We also design the Board and Group structure in monday.com based on the customer's List hierarchy, and create the necessary Workspaces and Boards before any data import. Schema is validated in a monday.com test workspace before production migration begins.
Document upload with parent-record resolution
We upload Flowzone documents to monday.com Items using the monday.com API, resolving the parent Item reference using the internal Job ID mapping built during export. Approval status is set as a Status Column value on the Item. Annotation threads are flagged per document and noted in the handoff document. Bulk document upload uses chunked requests with rate-limit handling and retry logic to manage monday.com's API limits.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Workspaces and Boards first, then Users and Guest accounts, then Items (from Jobs) with column values, then Subitems if applicable, then document attachments, then time records (if destination is Pro or Enterprise). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We apply the workflow-step position as a custom Status Column value on each Item. Any mapping corrections identified during migration are logged and resolved before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Flowzone writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Form inventory document, the Document annotation audit list, and the Custom Dashboard Panel description list to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Flowzone workflows as monday.com automations inside the migration scope; that work is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
