Overview
Moving from Husky to monday.com is a structural migration that must work around Husky's lack of a published REST or GraphQL API. We extract data via CSV exports coordinated with the customer's IT team, normalize Husky's tenant-specific custom fields during discovery, and map Projects to monday.com Boards, Tasks to Board Items, Clients to Contacts or a dedicated client board, and Time Entries to a dedicated time-tracking board or the Workload column. Recurring Jobs export as board templates with metadata for manual recurrence recreation in monday.com. We do not migrate finalized invoices because they are locked financial records under the customer's accounting jurisdiction. Workflows, automations, and dashboards are not migrated as code; we deliver a written inventory of Husky's recurring jobs and workflow logic for the customer's admin to rebuild in monday.com's automation builder.
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 Husky 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.
Husky
Project
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Husky Projects map to monday.com Boards as the top-level container. Project name becomes Board name, start and end dates map to the board's date range or a dedicated date column, and Project status (active, completed, on hold) maps to a status column. We create the Board in monday.com before any Items are imported so that Item-to-Board parent references resolve at insert time.
Husky
Task
monday Work Management
Item (within Board)
1:1Husky Tasks map to monday.com Items within the corresponding Board. Task name becomes Item name, assignees map to the Person column, due date maps to the Date column, and status maps to a status column configured to match Husky's task status values (not started, in progress, completed). Subtasks in Husky map to subitems in monday.com if the account supports subitems, or remain as Items in a separate Subtasks group.
Husky
Client
monday Work Management
Contact or Client Board
1:1Husky Clients map to monday.com Contacts (if monday CRM is active) or Items in a dedicated Clients board. Client contact details, billing address, and tax settings map to the corresponding column types. We resolve client membership by matching the Client ID on each Project to the corresponding Client record during Project import.
Husky
Time Entry
monday Work Management
Time Tracking Column or Time Entry Board
1:1Husky Time Entries map to monday.com's native time tracking column on Items, or to Items in a dedicated Time Entries board if the account uses the legacy integration model. Each time entry links to the corresponding Task Item by Item ID and preserves the duration, billable flag, date, and user attribution. Date-range scoping is applied to avoid mid-billing-period imports; we coordinate the cutoff date with the customer before time entry extraction.
Husky
Recurring Job
monday Work Management
Board Template with Automation
lossyHusky Recurring Jobs export as Board Templates with the job name, description, and assigned task structure preserved. The recurrence rule metadata (frequency, interval, last-run date) is documented in a linked automation plan that the customer's admin uses to configure monday.com automation triggers. We do not migrate recurrence rules as live schedules because they are not exportable from Husky in a transferable format.
Husky
Invoice
monday Work Management
Not Migrated
1:1Husky finalized invoices are locked financial records and are not imported into monday.com. We export invoice history as a reconciliation report (CSV) containing invoice number, client, amount, date, and status, which the customer provides to their accounting team or CPA for financial record continuity. This is disclosed in the scoping phase and documented in the migration handoff.
Husky
User and Owner
monday Work Management
Team Member
1:1Husky Owners and Users map to monday.com Team Members by email address. We extract all distinct Owner IDs referenced on Projects, Tasks, and Time Entries, match by email against monday.com workspace members, and flag any Owners without a matching monday.com account for the customer to provision before record import resumes.
Husky
Custom Field (Project-level)
monday Work Management
Custom Column
lossyHusky custom fields on Projects vary by tenant and change without notice. We enumerate all active custom project fields during discovery, map data types to equivalent monday.com column types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox), and create the columns on the target Board before Project data import. Any custom fields added after discovery require a supplemental mapping pass and extend the migration timeline.
Husky
Custom Field (Task-level)
monday Work Management
Custom Column
lossyHusky task-level custom fields follow the same normalization process as project-level fields. We enumerate task custom fields during discovery, map types to monday.com column equivalents, and create columns on the target Board. If a Husky custom field is a picklist with specific values, we recreate the options list in monday.com's column configuration to preserve data integrity.
Husky
Custom Field (Client-level)
monday Work Management
Custom Column
lossyHusky client-level custom fields are enumerated during discovery and mapped to monday.com columns on the Clients board or Contact fields. Tax settings and billing-specific custom fields are flagged for the customer to reconfigure in monday.com or their connected accounting tool rather than imported as static values.
Husky
Tag (Project or Task label)
monday Work Management
Tag or Label
lossyHusky labels or tags on Projects and Tasks map to monday.com Tags on Items. Tags are a multi-select attribute in monday.com, so multi-value tag fields in Husky split into individual Tag records on the Item. We preserve the original tag names for reference.
Husky
Project Status
monday Work Management
Status Column
lossyHusky project status values (active, completed, on hold, archived) map to a monday.com status column on the Board. We configure the status column with the relevant color-coding to match the customer's visual conventions, derived from the Husky status values during discovery.

Migration approach
Discovery and export method confirmation
We audit the Husky account across Projects, Tasks, Clients, Time Entries, Recurring Jobs, custom fields, and user accounts. We confirm the export method (CSV from UI or coordinated database export) with the customer's IT team before proceeding. We enumerate all custom field names and data types, identify active recurring job templates, and determine the invoice cutoff date. The discovery output is a written migration scope with a record-count estimate, custom field inventory, and export schedule.
Schema design and monday.com board structure
We design the monday.com destination schema based on the Husky record structure. Each Husky Project becomes a Board, with Groups representing task categories and Items representing tasks. We create custom columns for every enumerated Husky custom field, configure status columns to match Husky status values, and set up the person column for owner assignment. If monday CRM is active, Clients map to Contacts; otherwise we create a dedicated Clients board.
Export coordination and file normalization
We coordinate with the customer's IT team to extract CSV exports from Husky for each object type (Projects, Tasks, Clients, Time Entries, Recurring Jobs). We normalize the exported files to handle encoding inconsistencies, date format differences, and null value handling. We run a schema validation pass against the discovered custom field inventory to confirm all columns are present and populate a mapping matrix before any data transformation begins.
Sandbox validation and owner reconciliation
We run a full migration into a monday.com workspace using a test board structure to validate the mapping. The customer reconciles record counts and spot-checks 20-30 records against the Husky source. Owner and user email matching is validated at this stage: any Husky Owner without a matching monday.com workspace member goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before production migration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Board creation (from Projects), then Client records, then Items (from Tasks with sub-item resolution), then time entries linked to Items, then recurring job template documentation. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We apply date-range scoping on time entries to avoid mid-billing-period imports and flag the cutoff in the handoff report.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze writes to Husky 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 Recurring Job metadata document with monday.com automation trigger configuration steps for each template, the invoice reconciliation report, and the custom field mapping reference. We support a five-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild in monday.com Automations is a separate engagement not included in migration scope.
