Overview
Moving from Huly to monday.com restructures how work is organized. Huly uses a workspace hierarchy (workspaces above spaces) where each space can have multiple custom task types with independent process states. monday.com organizes work as Boards containing Items, where column types replace Huly's per-task-type state machines. We enumerate all custom task types during discovery, build per-type state mapping tables, and map Huly's GitHub-synced Pull Request task type as a distinct monday.com Item group with PR-specific columns. Wiki pages migrate to monday Docs with embedded images and links preserved. Chat messages from Huly's Inbox map to monday.com Updates, and milestones map to Timeline columns or date-based group views. Automations, integrations, and forms do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of Huly's active integrations and automations for monday.com Workflows reconstruction by the customer's admin team.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Huly 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.
Huly
Workspace
monday Work Management
Workspace
1:1Huly workspaces map to monday.com workspaces as the top-level container. Each Huly workspace becomes a monday.com workspace with the same name and member list. Workspace-level settings (visibility, billing owner) are translated to monday.com workspace admin assignments. Teams with multiple Huly workspaces map each to a separate monday.com workspace or consolidate under one monday.com workspace using Board-level team assignments.
Huly
Space (Project)
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Huly spaces map to monday.com Boards. The Classic project space type is the default mapping target. Space configuration including space type settings, default task type, and visibility translate to Board settings. Huly's space membership is preserved as Board owners and members in monday.com. Groups within the board replicate Huly's sub-group structure if used.
Huly
Issue
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Huly issues map directly to monday.com items on the target board. Issue properties map to columns: assignee to People column, priority to Priority labels or Status column variants, labels to Tags column, due date to Date column, and custom fields to the equivalent monday.com column type. Huly process states (Backlog, Todo, In Progress, Done) map to monday.com Status column values configured per-board.
Huly
Pull Request (GitHub-synced)
monday Work Management
Item (separate board or group)
lossyHuly's Pull Request task type, created when connected to GitHub, has distinct properties from issues: PR number vs. issue number, merge state vs. completion state, reviewer list, and branch references. We migrate PR records as items on a dedicated monday.com board with GitHub Integration columns (PR number, repo, author, merge status). The actual GitHub commit graph does not migrate; monday.com connects to GitHub directly for live PR status after cutover.
Huly
Custom Task Type
monday Work Management
Board + Column Set
lossyHuly allows custom task types beyond Issues and PRs, each with its own process states and custom properties. Each custom task type becomes a monday.com Board with a Status column customized to match the task type's state values. Custom properties migrate as monday.com column types: text fields, numbers, dates, dropdowns, and formulas. We enumerate all task types during discovery and build per-type mapping tables before execution.
Huly
Wiki Page (Document)
monday Work Management
monday Docs
1:1Huly wiki pages migrate to monday Docs as structured documents. Content blocks, headings, lists, code blocks, and embedded links transfer to monday Docs format. Embedded images and attachments migrate as Files attached to the Doc. Collaboration metadata (last editor, version history) is noted as a limitation; monday Docs does not preserve full revision history from Huly. If the customer uses Huly docs heavily, we recommend a pre-migration audit to identify docs that need active version tracking.
Huly
Chat Message (Inbox)
monday Work Management
Item Update
1:manyHuly Inbox messages are conversation-based and often contextual to a task or space. We extract message text, sender metadata, and timestamps. Messages tied to a specific issue or space are mapped as Item Updates on the corresponding monday.com item. Standalone chat messages not linked to a record are mapped to Updates on a dedicated board or retained as Notes if the customer prefers a static archive over the activity feed format.
Huly
Milestone
monday Work Management
Date Column + Group
lossyHuly milestones group issues toward a common goal or deadline. We create a monday.com Timeline column or Date column on the target board, or use Groups named after the milestone with due dates. Milestone metadata (description, progress calculation) translates to a Description field or Doc link on the board. Multiple milestone boards can be consolidated into a single roadmap board using Group naming conventions.
Huly
Action Item
monday Work Management
Subitem
1:1Huly action items are task fragments captured within conversations. They carry text, assignee, and completion status. We map action items to monday.com Subitems on the parent item representing the originating issue or discussion. Subitem text, assignee, and status transfer. Due to the contextual nature of action items in Huly, we recommend during scoping that customers identify which action items require Subitem migration versus which can be archived as completed.
Huly
Label and Tag
monday Work Management
Tags Column
1:1Huly labels with color metadata migrate to monday.com Tags column values. The tag names and colors transfer directly. Tags applied to issues are reapplied to the corresponding migrated items. Tags used for multi-dimensional classification can alternatively map to monday.com dropdown columns if the customer prefers structured filtering over freeform tagging.
Huly
Attachment
monday Work Management
File Column
1:1Files attached to issues, wiki pages, or chat messages migrate as monday.com file attachments. We reattach each file to the parent Item or Doc at the destination. Storage consumption is inventoried during scoping because Huly's free tier includes 10GB of attachment storage while monday.com Basic ($9/seat) includes 5GB; customers with heavy attachment volume may need to upgrade to Standard (50GB) or Pro (100GB) before migration.
Huly
User and Membership
monday Work Management
Team Member
1:1Huly workspace members and their role assignments (owner, member) migrate as monday.com Team members. Email addresses and display names map to monday.com user accounts. Active vs. archived status in Huly determines active vs. deactivated status in monday.com. Owner-level roles map to monday.com workspace admin. Users are provisioned before board migration so that OwnerId references resolve on items.
Huly
Hiring Pipeline (CRM-style use)
monday Work Management
Board (separate from projects)
lossyTeams using Huly for CRM-style workflows (hiring pipelines, candidate tracking) store this data in custom fields or document objects rather than a native accounts object. We identify these patterns during discovery and create dedicated monday.com Boards for candidate tracking with Status columns mapping to pipeline stages (Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired). Custom candidate fields map to monday.com columns.

Migration approach
Discovery and task type enumeration
We audit the source Huly workspace across all spaces, enumerating every custom task type and its associated process states. We inventory wiki page count and approximate content volume, chat message count, attachment size and file types, milestone definitions, and user roster. We identify any CRM-style usage patterns (hiring pipelines, candidate tracking) stored in custom fields or document objects. The discovery output is a written migration scope listing all boards to create, task type mappings, storage requirements, and the attachment handling recommendation (upgrade plan or archive).
monday.com workspace setup and board design
We create the monday.com workspace structure: one or more workspaces mapped from Huly workspaces, boards mapped from Huly spaces, and Status columns configured to match each task type's state values. We create the GitHub PR board with PR-specific columns if Huly has GitHub-synced records. We create boards for CRM-style usage (hiring pipelines) with appropriate Status and custom columns. We provision team members in monday.com matching the Huly user roster before any item migration so that assignee resolution works on first insert.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a test migration into a monday.com trial or sandbox workspace using a representative subset of the data: at least one board per task type, the largest wiki page by attachment count, and a sample of chat messages. The customer's project lead reviews 25-50 randomly selected items for field accuracy, Status mapping correctness, and assignee resolution. We correct any mapping errors before production migration. This step also validates that the customer's monday.com plan has sufficient storage for the full migration.
Attachment pre-processing and storage plan
We extract all attachments from Huly, inventory total file size, and confirm the destination monday.com plan's storage allocation. If upgrade is required, the customer upgrades before production migration. We reattach files during migration in batches that respect monday.com's file upload API limits. Large files (over 250MB) are noted as potential API failures and handled with chunked upload logic or archived with a manifest.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in this order: Team members (validated), Boards (created with correct Status columns and Group structure), Items (issues, custom task type records, PR records), Wiki pages to monday Docs, Attachments reattached to items and docs, Updates from Huly chat messages, Milestones as date column values or Groups. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing records inserted, errors, and warnings before the next phase begins. GitHub PR records land on the dedicated PR board with Status values set to match Huly merge state.
Cutover, delta sync, and integration handoff
We freeze writes to Huly during the cutover window, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, then present the final reconciliation report. We deliver the integration and automation inventory document listing every Huly integration (GitHub reconnect required) and every active automation with a recommended monday.com Workflow equivalent. The customer reconnects GitHub to monday.com as the first post-migration admin task. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the team.
