Overview
Moving from Matilda Workspace to monday.com is a migration from an early-stage, AI-first workspace to a mature work operating system with over 15,000 G2 reviews. Matilda organizes work through Teamspaces containing Projects, Tasks, Docs, and integrated Chat threads; monday.com uses Workspaces with Boards, Groups, and Items as its core structure. We map Matilda’s project hierarchy into monday.com Board Groups, flatten subtasks into linked Items, preserve assignee relationships by email resolution, and export Docs as structured HTML or markdown with project links maintained. Matilda’s AI Copilot task-generation and auto-schedule features produce derived data that we treat as explicit fields rather than automation equivalents, because monday.com’s automation engine runs its own scheduling logic and does not accept imported computed dates as triggers. The Tables (Airtable-style) and Customers (CRM) modules are not generally available in Matilda and are excluded from migration scope until a stable public schema exists.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Matilda Workspace 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.
Matilda Workspace
Teamspace
monday Work Management
Workspace
1:1Matilda Teamspaces are the top-level permission boundary containing Projects, Tasks, Docs, and Chat threads. We map each Teamspace to a monday.com Workspace, preserving the workspace name and any permission-scoped structure. If multiple Teamspaces map to the same monday.com Workspace for consolidation, we document the mapping during scoping. monday.com supports multiple workspaces on all tiers, including the free tier (2 seats).
Matilda Workspace
Project
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Matilda Projects carry start/end dates, status, and linked Tasks. We map Project to monday.com Board, using the project name as the board name and project-level custom properties as Board columns. We configure the Board type (Team, Personal, or Shareable) during migration based on the Teamspace permission scope. Projects with multiple sub-projects in Matilda become multiple Boards linked via the Connect Boards column.
Matilda Workspace
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Matilda Tasks map to monday.com Items on the corresponding Board. Task fields (title, description, assignee, due date, status, subtasks) map to monday.com Item name, person column, date column, status column, and subitems or linked Items. Task priority from Matilda maps to a priority label column or tag group. We flatten subtasks into linked Items rather than subitems if the customer prefers a flat task list.
Matilda Workspace
Subtask
monday Work Management
Item (linked)
1:manyMatilda subtasks attached to a parent Task become separate monday.com Items linked via the Connect Boards column or Subitems column. We preserve the parent-child relationship by storing the parent task name or Item ID in a custom text column so the hierarchy is visible in the destination. If Matilda subtasks have their own assignees and due dates, those migrate as independent Item properties on the child.
Matilda Workspace
Doc
monday Work Management
Doc (monday.com)
1:1Matilda Docs export as structured HTML or markdown content. If the customer uses monday Docs (available from Standard tier), we migrate content directly into monday.com Doc records linked to the corresponding Board. If monday Docs is not on the customer’s plan, we deliver Docs content as a structured HTML download package organized by project and linked from the relevant Board for manual re-creation.
Matilda Workspace
Chat Thread
monday Work Management
Item Updates (via integration)
lossyMatilda Chat threads are integrated per-project with message metadata and timestamps. We export Chat thread metadata (participants, start date, message count) and message content as a chronological log with author and timestamp. monday.com does not have a native Chat Thread object; we recommend mapping Chat threads to a dedicated monday.com Board as Item Updates or linking a Slack workspace integration post-migration if the customer prefers to keep conversations in a dedicated chat tool.
Matilda Workspace
User Assignment
monday Work Management
User (person column)
1:1Matilda task assignees and project members resolve to monday.com person column values by email address. We inventory all Matilda workspace members during discovery, match by email against monday.com user accounts, and flag any Matilda user without a matching monday.com account for the customer’s admin to provision before migration. Teams using Matilda’s free tier may have more users than the 2-seat monday.com free tier supports; we flag this during scoping.
Matilda Workspace
Custom Field
monday Work Management
Custom Column
lossyMatilda supports custom fields on Projects and Tasks. We inventory all custom field types (text, number, date, checkbox, dropdown) during discovery and generate a custom column mapping table before migration. monday.com supports 30+ column types; we map each Matilda custom field to the closest monday.com equivalent. Any Matilda custom field with a type that has no direct monday.com analog is flagged for the customer’s admin to review.
Matilda Workspace
Attachment
monday Work Management
File (Item)
1:1Matilda task and Doc attachments are file references stored in the Matilda workspace. We export attachment metadata (filename, size, URL, upload date, attached-to object). If monday.com supports file hosting on the customer’s plan, we re-link files to the relevant Items. On plans with limited storage, we provide a download package of all exported attachments organized by project and task for manual re-upload.
Matilda Workspace
Auto-Schedule (derived dates)
monday Work Management
Date Column (reset)
lossyMatilda’s auto-schedule engine computes task sequencing and sets task start and due dates based on dependency inference. These computed dates do not migrate as fixed values because monday.com’s own dependency column and Gantt views handle scheduling independently. We export the auto-schedule logic as a dependency map (task A precedes task B) stored in a notes column, and the customer re-runs scheduling in monday.com after migration. This avoids locking in Matilda’s derived dates as immutable values in a system with a different scheduling engine.
Matilda Workspace
AI Copilot (generated tasks)
monday Work Management
Item (explicit, flagged)
lossyMatilda’s AI Copilot auto-generates task hierarchies, project outlines, and subtasks from minimal input. We export all AI-generated tasks as explicit Items with a flag in a custom column (source: ai_generated) so the customer’s admin can review and retain or remove AI-generated content in monday.com. The Copilot-generated outlines themselves are not recreated as monday.com automation recipes because monday.com does not have an equivalent AI task-generation feature at this time.
Matilda Workspace
Tables
monday Work Management
N/A
1:1Matilda Tables is listed as coming soon with no GA schema, per Matilda’s product site. We do not migrate Tables objects because the schema is undefined. We flag this for the customer during scoping and revisit once Tables reaches general availability and the schema is publicly documented. monday.com’s Custom Objects feature (Standard tier and above) may serve as a replacement for Airtable-style tabular data collections once Matilda Tables is available.

Migration approach
Discovery and Matilda workspace audit
We inventory every Teamspace, Project, Task, Doc, Chat Thread, custom field, and user assignment in the Matilda workspace. We identify which modules are live (Projects, Tasks, Docs, Chat) versus preview (Tables, Customers) and exclude preview modules from migration scope with a written explanation. We extract the auto-schedule dependency map and flag any AI Copilot-generated task hierarchies. We document the workspace permission structure to inform monday.com Workspace creation and access level planning. The discovery output is a written scope document with object counts, a custom field inventory, and a monday.com tier recommendation based on user count and automation needs.
monday.com workspace and board schema design
We create the monday.com workspace structure before any data migration. This includes provisioning Workspaces (one per Matilda Teamspace or consolidated as scoped), creating Boards with appropriate column types mapped from Matilda fields, and configuring Groups within Boards to match Matilda project groupings. We set up custom columns for Matilda custom fields, dependency columns for auto-schedule relationships, and a flag column for AI-generated Items. The schema deploys into the customer’s monday.com account via the monday.com API or UI for validation before record migration begins.
User mapping and assignee resolution
We extract every distinct Matilda user referenced on Tasks, Projects, and Chat threads and match by email address against the monday.com destination account. Any Matilda user without a matching monday.com account goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer’s admin to provision before record import. This step cannot be skipped because monday.com person column values require a valid user reference. We also flag if the user count exceeds the free tier limit (2 seats) and confirm the destination plan covers the required seat count.
Board migration in dependency order
We migrate data into monday.com in the following order: first Projects as Boards with project-level custom fields, then Tasks as Items with all standard fields mapped, then Docs content into monday Docs (Standard and above) or as an HTML download package (Basic tier), then Chat threads as a structured log linked to the relevant Board. Subtasks are migrated as linked Items with the parent relationship stored in a custom column. Attachments are exported as metadata with a re-link instruction for the admin to complete post-migration if the destination plan does not include file hosting. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Auto-schedule and AI Copilot dependency mapping
We export Matilda’s auto-schedule dependency map as a structured notes column on each Item and set up monday.com dependency columns so the customer can re-run scheduling after migration. AI Copilot-generated tasks migrate as explicit Items with a source: ai_generated flag in a custom column. This gives the customer full visibility into what was AI-generated and the ability to review, retain, or delete those Items in monday.com without the automation logic carrying over.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Matilda workspace write access during cutover, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, and confirm the monday.com workspace is the system of record. We deliver a written automation inventory documenting Matilda’s automation logic (auto-schedule triggers, task-generation rules) with recommended monday.com automation equivalents. We do not rebuild Matilda automations as monday.com recipes inside the migration scope. The customer’s monday.com admin or a monday.com partner rebuilds automations post-migration. We offer a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised during the first week of live usage.
