Overview
Moving from Goplan to monday.com is a structural migration from a lightweight, single-workspace tool into a Work OS that supports multiple board types, column configurations, and automations. Goplan has no publicly documented API, which is the central constraint: we extract data via manual CSV exports or direct database reads where available, validate record completeness, then import into monday.com using the platform's CSV import and API-driven item creation. Projects map to Boards, Tasks to Items, Timesheets to time-tracking entries (Standard tier or above), and Goplan Custom Fields map to monday.com column types. Automations, dashboards, and report definitions do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for your admin to rebuild in monday.com's automation engine.
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 Goplan 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.
Goplan
Project
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Goplan project workspaces map to monday.com boards. Each project workspace's name, description, member access list, and date range migrate as the board name, board description, team members, and date column values. We create one board per project and map project-level member permissions to monday.com board member roles (board owner, editor, commenter, viewer). Archive state migrates as an archived status column if the board needs to remain visible but inactive.
Goplan
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Goplan tasks map to monday.com items within their corresponding board's groups. Task name becomes item name, task description becomes the item's text column or summary, and task status maps to a monday.com status column with color-coded labels. Assignments migrate as the person column; due dates migrate as the date column. If Goplan uses sub-tasks, these map to sub-items in monday.com.
Goplan
Timesheet Entry
monday Work Management
Time Tracking (column) or Work OS Entry
1:1Timesheet entries (hours logged per user, per task, per date range) map to monday.com's time tracking column values on the corresponding item. We extract the hours, date, user attribution, and task linkage from Goplan's timesheet export and create time entries against the migrated items. Note that monday.com time tracking requires Standard plan or above; if the destination is on Basic, we flag this during scoping and recommend a plan upgrade or alternative time-tracking integration.
Goplan
Custom Field
monday Work Management
Column (type-matched)
lossyGoplan custom field definitions and values migrate to monday.com columns using type matching: text fields map to text columns, number fields to numbers, dates to date columns, dropdowns to dropdown columns, and multi-select to tags or dropdown columns. We extract the full field schema during discovery and pre-create the corresponding columns on each board before item import to avoid post-import restructuring.
Goplan
User / Collaborator
monday Work Management
User
1:1Goplan user accounts and collaborator roles extract with their project memberships and permission levels. We map these to monday.com users by email match. If a Goplan user has no matching monday.com account, we flag them in the reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before item import (since item assignments require a valid monday.com user).
Goplan
Report Configuration
monday Work Management
Dashboard (documented for rebuild)
1:1Goplan report definitions and their underlying data export as CSV. We preserve report definitions and data but do not migrate reports as live monday.com dashboards; monday.com dashboards are rebuilt from scratch using the migrated board data as source. We deliver a written report inventory listing each Goplan report's name, filters, and data sources with a recommended monday.com dashboard construction plan for the customer's admin.
Goplan
Comments / Discussion Threads
monday Work Management
Not migrated
1:1Task-level comments and discussion threads are not confirmed as a separately exportable object in Goplan's available documentation. We verify comment availability during scoping. If comments exist as exportable text, we include them as an item description append or a linked document; if not, we flag this limitation in the migration scope and note that the customer should consider capturing comments manually before cutover if historical context is required.
Goplan
Attachments
monday Work Management
Not migrated
1:1File attachments on tasks or projects have not been confirmed in available Goplan data. We verify attachment availability during scoping and handle them as a separate media migration if present. monday.com stores files as file columns and Content Documents; if attachments exist, we migrate them as file columns within the relevant board items.
Goplan
Project Hierarchy
monday Work Management
Board Folder + Board structure
lossyIf Goplan uses nested projects or parent-child relationships, we map these to monday.com folder and sub-board hierarchy. We create a monday.com folder per top-level structure and nested boards within it, preserving the navigation relationship. Groups within a board handle task-level groupings rather than a separate hierarchy level.
Goplan
Automation / Workflow Rules
monday Work Management
Documented for rebuild
1:1Goplan automations (if any exist in the customer's account) are documented during discovery. monday.com's automation engine (available Standard+) uses trigger-action recipes that are architecturally different from Goplan's rule model. We do not migrate automations as code. We deliver a written automation inventory with each rule's trigger, condition, and action mapped to a recommended monday.com automation equivalent for the admin to rebuild post-migration.
Goplan
Status Workflow
monday Work Management
Status Column + Group labels
lossyGoplan task status values (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done) map to monday.com status column labels with color coding. We preserve the status progression order so that board views filter and sort correctly. If Goplan uses custom workflow stages, we create custom status columns to match rather than forcing the default monday.com labels.
Goplan
Tag / Label
monday Work Management
Tags Column or Dropdown Column
lossyGoplan tags used to categorize tasks map to monday.com tags or dropdown columns depending on whether multi-select is required. We extract distinct tag values during discovery and configure the column with the relevant options pre-populated so that item import assigns tags without creating new values on the fly.

Migration approach
Discovery and export assessment
We audit the Goplan account across plan tier, project count, task volume, timesheet history, custom field definitions, user list, and any report configurations. We confirm the available export mechanism (UI-based CSV, database read, or API if Goplan provides undocumented access). This output is a written migration scope with record counts, identified gaps (comments, attachments), and a recommendation for monday.com plan tier based on the destination feature requirements (time tracking, automations, integrations).
Export extraction and data normalization
We extract data from Goplan using the available mechanism. For CSV exports, we run sequential exports per project, consolidate into a single dataset, and validate completeness against the discovered record counts. For database reads (if available), we run read-only queries against the Goplan data store with field mapping to the export schema. We normalize dates, user references, status values, and custom field values into a flat intermediate format before transformation.
monday.com board and column configuration
We pre-create the monday.com board structure before any item import. This means one board per Goplan project, with columns matching Goplan's field schema (status, assignee, due date, custom fields). We create the custom columns first using the monday.com API or UI, then configure status labels to match Goplan's workflow stages. Groups within boards are set up to reflect any task grouping that existed in Goplan.
User reconciliation and provisioning
We extract every distinct Goplan user referenced on tasks, projects, and timesheet entries and match by email against the monday.com destination workspace. Users without a matching monday.com account go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before item import. Item assignments in monday.com require a valid user reference, so this step gates the item import phase.
Item and timesheet import
We import items into monday.com boards using CSV import for bulk record creation and the monday.com API for records requiring custom field resolution or lookup relationships. Timesheet entries import as time tracking values against the corresponding items (Standard+ plan required). We use batch operations with validation checksums to confirm record counts match the extracted dataset. Each board emits a reconciliation report before the next board begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze Goplan write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the automation and report inventory documents to the customer's admin team with recommended monday.com equivalents for each item. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised during the first week of monday.com use. We do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
