Overview
Moving from Taskworld to monday.com restructures how work is organized. Taskworld arranges work around Projects containing Tasks with checklist sub-items, assignees, and followers, while monday.com uses Boards with Items and Groups where sub-items are a separate nested record type. The migration requires a structural redesign of the task hierarchy rather than a direct record copy. We extract Taskworld workspaces and Projects via GraphQL, map each to a monday.com Board with the appropriate Groups, convert checklist sub-items to monday.com sub-items with their completion status, and preserve task dependency links using monday.com's dependency column. Automations, because they are rule-based and event-driven, do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every Taskworld automation with a monday.com automation equivalent for your admin to rebuild. File attachments re-upload to monday.com storage, and guest collaborator limits transfer as Team Members at the destination.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Taskworld 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.
Taskworld
Workspace
monday Work Management
Workspace
1:1Taskworld Workspaces map to monday.com Workspaces as the top-level container. We preserve workspace-level settings, member lists, and organization metadata. Enterprise workspaces in Taskworld with dedicated cloud or on-premise deployment map to a monday.com workspace that the customer provisions in their tenant. Member seats are counted and reconciled against the destination plan tier; guest collaborators above the destination plan limit are flagged for seat audit.
Taskworld
Project
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Taskworld Projects map to monday.com Boards. The source project metadata (name, description, start date, due date, status) migrates as board properties. Taskworld's project view type (Kanban, Timeline, Calendar) is not preserved as a destination view setting because monday.com boards support all view types simultaneously; we configure the default view based on the customer's preference during scoping. Project-level tags migrate as board labels.
Taskworld
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Taskworld Tasks map to monday.com Items within the appropriate Board and Group. Task attributes migrate as follows: assignee maps to Person column, due date maps to Date column, priority maps to Status or Label column (we define the label set during scoping), description text migrates as the Item's main text, and followers map to Watchers if the destination workspace has watchers enabled. Completed status maps to a Status column value of Done or Closed.
Taskworld
Subtask (nested checklist item)
monday Work Management
Sub-item
1:1Taskworld checklist sub-items within a Task are direct children of the parent Task and carry completion status. monday.com sub-items are separate record types linked to the parent Item. We convert each Taskworld checklist item to a monday.com sub-item with its completion state preserved, preserving the percent-complete calculation shown on the parent Task. Sub-items do not carry assignees by default in monday.com unless the customer enables sub-item ownership during scoping.
Taskworld
Custom Field (project-scoped)
monday Work Management
Column
lossyTaskworld Custom Fields are defined per-project via the Customize panel. We extract all project-level custom field definitions and their types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox). At monday.com, we create equivalent columns on each destination Board. Where multiple Taskworld projects share the same custom field name and type, we configure the column once and add it to each relevant Board rather than re-defining per-board. The customer manually configures column presets if they want global availability without per-board addition.
Taskworld
Task Dependency
monday Work Management
Dependency Column
1:1Taskworld task dependency links (blocks/blocked-by direction) map to monday.com's Dependency column on the relevant Board. We preserve the directional dependency so that Timeline views in monday.com reflect the blocking relationship. Circular dependency detection runs during import; any circular links are flagged and resolved by removing the weakest dependency in the cycle.
Taskworld
Attachment and File
monday Work Management
File Column or Item Update
1:1Taskworld files are re-uploaded to monday.com storage (subject to the destination plan's storage limit: 250GB Standard, 1,000GB Pro, unlimited Enterprise). We link files to the corresponding Item via monday.com's File column or as an item update attachment. Files exceeding the destination storage limit are skipped and listed in a manifest for manual handling. The original file URL is preserved in an Item Update note if the file cannot be re-uploaded.
Taskworld
Comment and Project Chat
monday Work Management
Item Updates
1:1Taskworld task-level comments migrate to monday.com Item Updates with author attribution and timestamp. Project chat messages migrate as Updates on a designated board or as Items on a communication log board. Thread structure is preserved where comments have parent_id references; top-level comments map as standalone Updates, replies link as threaded Updates if the destination workspace supports threading, otherwise they flatten. Chat history availability depends on Taskworld plan tier at time of extraction.
Taskworld
Time Entry
monday Work Management
Time Tracking Column
1:1Taskworld time entries (where available on the source plan) map to monday.com Time Tracking column values on the corresponding Item. Each time entry's duration and date migrate; task-level time logs become individual Time Tracking entries on the migrated Item. Note text from the time entry migrates as an Update on the Item. If the destination monday.com plan does not include Time Tracking (Basic tier), we flag this during scoping and offer time entries as Number columns or a separate Time Log board.
Taskworld
Tag and Label
monday Work Management
Label Column
1:1Taskworld tags applied to Tasks and Projects migrate as monday.com Label column values. We extract the full tag vocabulary from the workspace and configure a Label column on each destination Board with the relevant values pre-populated. Tag hierarchy (if present in Taskworld) is flattened to a single-level label set since monday.com Label columns do not support hierarchy.
Taskworld
User
monday Work Management
Team Member
1:1Taskworld workspace members map to monday.com Team Members. We resolve by email match against the destination workspace's member list. Guest collaborators (up to 30 on Taskworld Business) migrate as Team Members on monday.com; if the destination plan tier has a guest limit, we flag the count during scoping and the customer resolves seat allocation before migration. Inactive Taskworld users are imported as inactive Team Members to preserve historical assignment references.
Taskworld
Automations
monday Work Management
Automations (rebuild required)
lossyTaskworld automations trigger actions based on task events (status change, due date, assignment, checklist completion). monday.com automations are recipe-based with different trigger and action semantics. We do not migrate automations as code because the trigger logic, conditions, and actions do not map directly between platforms. We deliver a written inventory of every active Taskworld automation with its trigger type, conditions, and action steps, plus a recommended monday.com automation equivalent and the specific steps to rebuild it. The customer's admin completes the rebuild post-migration.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Taskworld gotchas
GraphQL API is the sole programmatic extraction method
Custom fields scoped per-project not globally
Completed task visibility state transfers as a setting
Storage limits by plan tier affect file migration completeness
monday Work Management gotchas
Subitems have no bulk export endpoint
API complexity budget constrains query depth
Daily call limits vary sharply across plan tiers
Automation and integration rules do not export via API
Saved views are not exposed via API
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and plan tier selection
We audit the Taskworld workspace across plan tier (Free/Premium/Business/Enterprise), project count, task count, custom field definitions per project, attachment file count and total size, automation rule count, time entry volume, and member and guest list. We pair this with a monday.com plan recommendation: Basic ($12/seat) covers simple project boards with no time tracking; Standard ($14/seat) adds 250GB storage and integrations; Pro ($24/seat) includes time tracking, formula columns, dependency columns, and 1,000GB storage; Enterprise unlocks unlimited storage, advanced permissions, and custom onboarding. The discovery output is a written migration scope document and a monday.com edition recommendation.
GraphQL extraction with pagination strategy
We extract Taskworld data via the GraphQL endpoint at us.taskworld.com/api/public/v1 using cursor-based pagination across all workspaces, projects, tasks, sub-items, custom fields, attachments, comments, time entries, and user records. For workspaces with more than 10,000 records, extraction runs across multiple sessions with session checkpoints to resume without data duplication. We implement adaptive throttling and exponential backoff between requests. The extraction phase emits a record-count manifest (workspaces, projects, tasks, sub-items, attachments, comments, time entries) for reconciliation against the destination board plan.
Schema design and board architecture
We design the monday.com destination schema: one Board per Taskworld Project, Groups mapped from Taskworld task groups or status columns, default views selected per board based on the customer's preference, Dependency columns configured for task dependency links, Label columns populated from Taskworld tags, and Time Tracking columns enabled on Pro and Enterprise plans. Custom fields from Taskworld become Columns on each relevant Board. We create the Board structure in a monday.com Sandbox workspace first so the customer can review before production migration begins.
File extraction and re-upload preparation
We extract all file attachments from Taskworld, compute total file size, and compare against the destination plan's storage limit. Files exceeding the limit are flagged in a manifest. For files within the destination limit, we prepare them for re-upload via monday.com's file upload API. We map each file to its destination Item and Column (File column type) or Update attachment. The file extraction phase runs in parallel with schema design to minimize total migration time.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Team Members (first, to satisfy owner lookups), Boards (one per Project), Items (Tasks mapped to Items within Boards), Sub-items (converted from Taskworld checklist items), Dependencies (using monday.com Dependency column after Items are created), Columns (custom fields from Taskworld), Labels (tag vocabulary), File attachments (re-uploaded to Items), Item Updates (comments and chat history), and Time Tracking entries (where enabled on destination plan). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Automations are documented but not migrated.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Taskworld write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the cutover window, then enable monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document to the customer's admin team with step-by-step rebuild instructions for each automation. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve any data reconciliation issues raised by the team. We do not rebuild Taskworld automations as monday.com automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
