Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from TimeHero to monday.com is a shift from an AI-driven personal scheduling assistant to a collaborative work management platform. TimeHero has no public API and gates data export behind its Premium tier, which means all migration work flows through a manual per-project CSV export from the web interface. We manage that export workflow, transform task records (with original due date, scheduled due date, work estimate, actual duration, and remaining time) into monday.com board items with equivalent columns, and recreate recurring task patterns as monday.com automation recipes. monday.com's API supports ongoing sync after cutover, which TimeHero cannot offer. Workflow templates built in TimeHero Premium do not export; we inventory them during discovery and deliver a rebuild checklist for your admin. Attachments referenced in TimeHero tasks must be downloaded manually before migration because they do not appear in the CSV export.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

TimeHero

What's pushing teams away

  • Steep learning curve makes onboarding slow — users struggle to understand the adaptive scheduling logic at first.
  • Over-automation causes frustration when tasks reschedule unexpectedly without clear reason or notification.
  • Small team size raises concerns about long-term product support and whether the company will remain solvent.
  • Lacks depth for complex project management — better suited for task scheduling than full project tracking.
  • Limited integrations beyond calendar sync and Asana connector restrict usefulness in diverse tool stacks.

Choosing

monday Work Management

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest onboarding friction of any mid-market PM tool — drag-and-drop boards and colorful UI mean non-technical team members contribute from day one without training.
  • Highly customizable board structure lets teams model their actual workflow rather than forcing a predefined template onto their process.
  • Generous free forever plan with two seats lets small teams or solo users validate the platform before committing budget or migrating data from elsewhere.
  • Integrations with Slack, Zoom, Google Drive, and CRM tools keep monday.com as a coordination hub rather than requiring teams to switch context constantly.
  • Multiple view modes — Kanban, Calendar, Gantt, Map, Chart — give different team members the visualization they prefer without switching tools.

Object mapping

How TimeHero objects map to monday Work Management

Each row shows how a TimeHero 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.

TimeHero

Task

maps to

monday Work Management

Item (on Board)

1:1
Fully supported

TimeHero Tasks map to monday.com Items. Each task's title, work estimate, actual duration, remaining time, original due date, current scheduled date, assignee, and priority migrate as separate columns. We preserve both the original due date and the current scheduled date as distinct columns so the destination board shows the planned date and the AI-adjusted date. The monday.com board column types are: Text for title, Numbers for estimates and durations, Date for due dates, Person for assignee, and Status (or dropdown) for priority.

TimeHero

Project/Folder

maps to

monday Work Management

Board + Group

1:1
Fully supported

TimeHero Projects and Folders map to monday.com Boards. Each project becomes a board with groups representing task groupings within that project. If TimeHero has nested folder structures, we create a monday.com Workspace folder hierarchy and place boards inside the corresponding workspace level. Board names and descriptions migrate as-is; column architecture is designed per-board during migration scoping.

TimeHero

Time Entry (embedded in Task)

maps to

monday Work Management

Time Tracking Column

lossy
Fully supported

TimeHero stores actual duration and remaining time as embedded fields in each task record. The CSV export exposes these as numeric values per task. We map them to the monday.com Time Tracking column (available on Pro and above), which stores start time, end time, and duration per item. We normalize TimeHero's actual duration and remaining time into combined Time Tracking entries per item. monday.com aggregates time tracking at the item and board level for dashboards.

TimeHero

Recurring Task

maps to

monday Work Management

Automation Recipe (recurrence trigger)

lossy
Fully supported

TimeHero recurring tasks are defined with a recurrence pattern that generates future task instances. The CSV export shows the recurrence rule but not the generated instances. We extract the recurrence pattern (daily, weekly, monthly, custom interval), map it to a monday.com automation recipe with a 'Recurring' trigger and the same interval, and set the recipe to create a new item in the target board with the appropriate due date logic. The customer rebuilds these in monday.com's Automation Builder using the documented recurrence pattern as reference.

TimeHero

Calendar Event (external context)

maps to

monday Work Management

Item or separate Calendar View

1:1
Fully supported

TimeHero uses connected Google and Outlook calendar events for scheduling context but does not store them as primary data. We do not migrate calendar events as records. If the customer needs calendar context preserved, we recommend exporting calendar data separately from Google or Outlook and importing it as items on a dedicated monday.com board or linking it through the monday.com Google Calendar integration post-migration.

TimeHero

Asana Integration Data

maps to

monday Work Management

Item on monday.com Board

1:1
Mapping required

TimeHero's Asana connector pulls assigned tasks into the TimeHero inbox for scheduling. If the customer has been using TimeHero as a scheduling layer for Asana-assigned work, those tasks appear in the TimeHero export. We map them to monday.com Items with the original Asana task name preserved in a Text column. The customer can optionally connect monday.com to Asana directly post-migration if the Asana relationship needs to continue.

TimeHero

Risk Indicator

maps to

monday Work Management

Status Column (custom values)

lossy
Fully supported

TimeHero flags tasks at risk based on scheduling conflicts and deadline proximity. These are computed values not stored fields. We capture the triggering conditions (deadline, assigned capacity) and reproduce them as monday.com Status column values (e.g., 'On Track', 'At Risk', 'Blocked') using the same criteria. The admin defines the threshold values during board configuration.

TimeHero

Workload Report data

maps to

monday Work Management

Workload View

1:1
Fully supported

TimeHero Workload reports (Premium feature) show team capacity and task distribution. We extract the underlying task data and assignee workload numbers from the export and use them to configure monday.com's Workload View, which is available on Pro and above. The migration delivers the capacity numbers as a reference so the monday.com admin can configure the Workload View using the same baseline data.

TimeHero

Attachment reference

maps to

monday Work Management

File Attachment (manual re-link)

1:1
Fully supported

TimeHero CSV export does not include file attachment references or download links. We flag this gap and require the customer to manually download all attachments from within TimeHero before migration begins. Post-migration, the customer re-attaches files to the corresponding monday.com items. We provide a mapping checklist that lists each task with its attachment count so nothing is missed.

TimeHero

Workflow Template

maps to

monday Work Management

Automation Recipe (documentation only)

1:1
Fully supported

TimeHero Premium workflow templates store project structure and scheduling rules as application configuration. They cannot be exported. During discovery we inventory every workflow template the customer has built, document its structure and rule logic, and deliver a written rebuild guide with equivalent monday.com automation steps. The customer's admin rebuilds templates in monday.com's Automation Builder post-migration.

TimeHero

Owner/User

maps to

monday Work Management

Team Member (Person column)

1:1
Fully supported

TimeHero task assignees map to monday.com Person column values. We resolve assignees by email address. If a monday.com account does not yet exist for a TimeHero user, the person column entry is created as an invited guest pending account provisioning. Team members without assignments are left blank on the monday.com item.

TimeHero

Priority

maps to

monday Work Management

Status Column or Labels

lossy
Fully supported

TimeHero priority values (High, Medium, Low) map to monday.com Status column color-coded values or Label columns. We use the same priority vocabulary to maintain consistency. The customer chooses between Status or Labels during board design based on how many priority tiers they use.

Pair-specific challenges

  • CSV export requires TimeHero Premium upgrade

    TimeHero's data export functionality is only available on the Premium tier at $22-27 per user per month. Basic and Professional users cannot export tasks or timesheet data through the UI. During scoping we confirm the customer's current plan and factor in the cost of a temporary Premium upgrade for the migration window (typically two to four weeks). We guide the customer on the minimum upgrade scope needed to access export, and they downgrade after migration if budget is constrained. This gating is a hard platform limitation that cannot be worked around.

  • No API means manual per-project CSV download

    TimeHero has no public REST API. All data extraction requires navigating to each project or folder in the web interface, selecting the export option, and downloading the CSV manually. For customers with many projects, this is a time-intensive process that requires customer-side effort. We provide a project export checklist, coordinate the download sequence, batch the files, and process them in the order they were exported. We flag any projects missed during export before we begin data transformation.

  • Overlapping scheduled date vs original due date requires disambiguation

    TimeHero's adaptive engine automatically reschedules tasks when calendar availability changes, meaning the current scheduled date in TimeHero may differ from the original due date the user set. The CSV export includes both values but does not label them distinctly. We parse both columns from the export, treat the earlier value as Original Due Date and the later as Current Scheduled Date, and migrate both to monday.com as separate Date columns. The customer decides which date to use as the primary due date on the monday.com board.

  • monday.com automations must be rebuilt from documentation

    TimeHero workflow templates and the adaptive scheduling logic cannot be exported and do not migrate. We document every TimeHero workflow template during discovery and deliver a written guide mapping each template's structure to monday.com Automation Builder equivalents. Recurring task patterns also require manual recreation in monday.com's automation recipes. This rebuild work falls to the customer's admin post-migration and is not included in standard migration scope.

  • Time Tracking column requires Pro or above on monday.com

    monday.com's native Time Tracking column (which maps TimeHero's embedded time entries to a per-item timer with aggregated duration) is only available on the Pro tier and above. Standard tier boards cannot use the Time Tracking column type. If the customer is on monday.com Standard, we map TimeHero duration data to Numbers columns instead, which preserves the data but loses the timer UI. We confirm the destination plan tier during scoping to avoid column-type misconfiguration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful TimeHero to monday Work Management data migration

  1. Plan tier assessment and export access verification

    We confirm whether the customer has TimeHero Premium access for CSV export. If not, we scope a temporary Premium upgrade for the migration window and calculate the incremental cost. We inventory all projects, folders, and task lists that need export, and provide the customer with a step-by-step download guide for the TimeHero web UI. We also confirm the destination monday.com plan tier to ensure Time Tracking column support and any other tier-gated features required.

  2. CSV export coordination and data ingestion

    The customer downloads CSV files from each TimeHero project and folder. We batch the files, validate completeness against the project inventory, and flag any missing exports before proceeding. We parse each CSV, extract task title, assignee, priority, original due date, current scheduled date, work estimate, actual duration, and remaining time, and load them into a normalized staging schema. Any recurring task rules are documented from the source UI at this stage.

  3. monday.com board architecture design

    We design the monday.com workspace structure based on the TimeHero project and folder hierarchy. Each TimeHero project becomes a monday.com board. We design the column architecture per board: Text for task names, Numbers for estimates and durations, Date columns for original due date and scheduled date, Person for assignees, Status or Labels for priority, and Time Tracking (if on Pro+) for duration logging. We configure the Status column with values that match the priority tiers from TimeHero.

  4. Sandbox board migration and reconciliation

    We create a test board in the customer's monday.com workspace using the designed architecture and run a partial migration with a representative sample of records. The customer spot-checks the test board against the TimeHero source to validate column mapping, date preservation, assignee assignment, and time data integrity. Any mapping corrections happen at this stage. We do not proceed to full migration until the customer signs off on the test board.

  5. Full production migration

    We run the full migration into the production monday.com workspace, creating boards per project and importing all tasks with mapped fields. Recurring task patterns are documented and the automation rebuild guide is delivered. We resolve assignee resolution gaps (unmatched users are added as guests pending account provisioning). Each board is reconciled for row count against the source export. We run a delta check for any tasks modified during the migration window.

  6. Cutover and non-portable artifact handoff

    We freeze TimeHero access for the migration window. Any new tasks created in TimeHero during delta migration are appended to the monday.com boards. We deliver the workflow template rebuild guide, the recurring automation recipe documentation, and the attachment re-link checklist to the customer. We do not rebuild automations in monday.com as part of standard scope. A one-week hypercare window is included to resolve any data quality issues raised post-cutover.

Destination

Strengths

  • Drag-and-drop board UI with near-zero learning curve for non-technical users entering project data for the first time.
  • 20+ column types and unlimited custom columns let teams model arbitrarily complex data structures without developer help.
  • Multi-view support — Kanban, Gantt, Calendar, Timeline, Chart, Map — satisfies different team members without forcing a single layout.
  • Automations cover common trigger-action patterns for teams without dedicated developers to write custom scripts.
  • Free plan for 2 seats and a 14-day trial on all paid tiers make evaluation risk-free before committing to migration scope.

Weaknesses

  • Per-seat pricing with no enterprise flat-rate option means costs scale linearly with headcount, making it expensive at 50+ seats.
  • Subitems lack bulk API access, making them problematic for CRM-style use cases where contact records live as subitems under a company board.
  • Automations and advanced views are gated behind Pro and Enterprise tiers, creating feature deserts on entry-level plans.
  • Dependency column is visually limited — no critical path, no auto-rescheduling, and cross-board dependencies require manual link management.
  • No native document management; docs, wikis, and knowledge bases require a separate integration or third-party workaround.

Straightforward migrations under 5,000 tasks and 20 projects complete in two to three weeks. The timeline is dominated by the CSV export step, which is a manual per-project process in the TimeHero web UI. Migrations with recurring task pattern mapping, time entry normalization across many projects, nested folder structures, or large attachment inventories move to four to six weeks because of coordination overhead and monday.com board architecture design.
