Overview
Moving from OneDeck to monday.com is a structural migration that preserves your primary data (boards, tasks, subtasks, assignees, due dates, and custom field values) while requiring explicit configuration choices for column types, view mappings, and file attachment placement. OneDeck organizes work around Records on Boards with Tasks, Views, and Documents; monday.com mirrors this with Boards containing Items organized in Groups, with column types replacing custom fields. We resolve the OneDeck subtask-to-monday.com subitem relationship, preserve assignee ownership by email match, and flag that OneDeck automation scenarios have no export path and must be rebuilt in monday.com's automation builder. Document Builder PDFs carry OneDeck-specific formatting that does not survive migration; we deliver the underlying data fields and flag formatting review as a post-migration item.
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 OneDeck 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.
OneDeck
Board
monday Work Management
Board
1:1OneDeck Boards map directly to monday.com Boards, preserving board name, description, and workspace assignment. Each board's default view configuration migrates as a named view. We extract the full board structure during discovery and create destination boards in the correct workspace hierarchy before any items are imported. Workspace-level access permissions require manual configuration in monday.com admin settings post-migration.
OneDeck
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1OneDeck Tasks on a board map to monday.com Items within the equivalent board and group. We preserve title, description (as rich text), status (mapped to a monday.com Status column), assignee (via email match to monday.com users), due date, and custom field values. Item creation timestamps migrate as a custom date column since monday.com does not expose native creation date as editable.
OneDeck
Subtask
monday Work Management
Subitem
1:1OneDeck Subtasks nested under a parent task map to monday.com Subitems. The subitem inherits the parent item's board and group context. We preserve subitem title, description, assignee, due date, and any subitem-specific custom field values. Note that monday.com subitem availability depends on the plan tier; we verify subitem support during discovery and flag if the destination account's tier does not support subitems.
OneDeck
Group
monday Work Management
Group
1:1OneDeck Groups within a board map to monday.com Groups. Group names and ordering migrate directly. We extract group names from the OneDeck board structure and create matching groups in the monday.com board before item import. Items are inserted into their corresponding groups by referencing the source group assignment stored in the OneDeck task record.
OneDeck
Custom Field
monday Work Management
Column
lossyOneDeck custom fields per record map to monday.com column types based on the field's data type. Text fields become Text columns; number fields become Numbers columns; date fields become Date columns; person fields become Person columns; checkbox fields become Checkbox columns. We extract the complete custom field schema during discovery and configure equivalent columns in monday.com before migration. Some OneDeck field types may require a multi-select or text column as the closest monday.com equivalent, and we document these approximations in the mapping spec.
OneDeck
User / Assignee
monday Work Management
User
1:1OneDeck user accounts and task assignee assignments migrate as owner references. We match OneDeck user email addresses to monday.com User records by email. Any OneDeck Assignee without a matching monday.com User is flagged in a reconciliation queue for the customer admin to provision before item import resumes. Orphaned assignee references (where the user no longer exists) are resolved as a nullable assignee field.
OneDeck
Document
monday Work Management
File Attachment
1:1OneDeck Documents generated by Document Builder (quotes, invoices, work orders) migrate as file content and structured data fields. The file attachments migrate to monday.com file columns or item file sections. The underlying data fields (line items, totals, dates, client info) migrate as text or number columns. We flag that OneDeck Document Builder formatting does not survive migration; the rendered PDF layout is not transferable. Post-migration review of document rendering is required before sign-off.
OneDeck
Comment / Activity
monday Work Management
Update
1:1OneDeck comments on tasks and records migrate to monday.com Updates on the corresponding item if the OneDeck API exposes comment history. We verify comment accessibility during discovery (availability varies by OneDeck plan and workspace configuration). If comments are inaccessible via API, we document the gap and inform the customer that comment history will not appear in monday.com unless manually exported or screenshots are captured.
OneDeck
Automation Scenario
monday Work Management
Automation
lossyOneDeck automation scenarios have no export mechanism and do not migrate as code. We identify every active scenario during discovery, capture its trigger conditions and actions in a written inventory, and deliver this document to the customer for manual rebuild in monday.com's automation builder. monday.com automations use a trigger-action model that requires rebuilding each scenario individually. This is a commonly underestimated step; we explicitly flag the rebuild effort in our scoping document.
OneDeck
Workspace
monday Work Management
Workspace
1:1OneDeck Workspaces containing multiple boards map to monday.com Workspaces. We preserve the workspace name and map the contained boards into the equivalent monday.com workspace. If the customer's OneDeck workspace structure uses nested teams or department divisions that do not map directly to monday.com workspace hierarchy, we document the gap and recommend workspace naming conventions for the destination.
OneDeck
Tag / Label
monday Work Management
Label
1:1OneDeck tags on records migrate to monday.com Labels if the destination account is on a plan supporting labels. Labels migrate as a color-coded label set attached to the item. If labels are not available or the customer prefers, tags migrate as a Tags column (multi-select text) in monday.com. The customer chooses the preferred strategy during scoping, and we document the choice in the mapping spec.
OneDeck
File Attachment
monday Work Management
File
1:1OneDeck file attachments linked to records migrate as file attachments in monday.com. Files are associated with the corresponding item via monday.com's file upload API. Large file attachments (>10MB per file) are chunked for upload; very large volumes of attachments extend migration timeline. We verify file accessibility in OneDeck during discovery and include a file count in the migration scope document.

Migration approach
Discovery and workspace audit
We audit the source OneDeck workspace across active modules (which of the bundled CRM, project management, sales, or marketing modules are in use), board count and structure, task and subtask volume, custom field definitions per board, active automation scenarios, document records from Document Builder, user accounts and their workspace assignments, and comment accessibility via API. The discovery output is a written migration scope specifying record counts, mapping decisions, and any plan-tier dependencies that affect what can migrate.
Schema design and column configuration
We design the monday.com destination schema based on the discovery findings. This includes creating boards mapped from OneDeck boards, configuring column types to match OneDeck custom fields, setting up Groups within boards to match OneDeck group structure, verifying subitem support on the destination account's plan tier, and designing the tag-to-label mapping strategy. We deploy the schema to a monday.com workspace or test board for customer validation before production migration begins.
Owner resolution and user provisioning
We extract every distinct OneDeck user referenced as an assignee on tasks, records, and comments and match by email against the monday.com destination account's User table. Users without a matching monday.com account go into a reconciliation queue for the customer admin to provision before item import resumes. Migration cannot proceed past item import because OwnerId references are required on monday.com items.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Workspaces and Boards (created with names and descriptions), Groups within boards (preserving ordering), Items with custom field values and status assignments, Subitems with their own column data, File attachments uploaded to the corresponding items, Comments and activity history (where API-accessible), and Documents with underlying data fields as columns. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We handle monday.com API rate limits with exponential backoff and batch chunking for large item volumes.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff
We freeze OneDeck writes 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 inventory document listing every OneDeck scenario with its trigger, conditions, and actions, plus a recommended monday.com automation equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the team. We do not rebuild OneDeck automations as monday.com automations inside the migration scope; that work requires the customer's admin or a monday.com partner to use the automation builder based on the inventory document.
