Overview
Toggl Plan to monday.com is a deprecation-driven migration. Toggl has begun redirecting Toggl Plan users to Toggl Focus, which does not yet support recurring tasks and has a different data model, pushing teams to move to a third-party destination. We extract Toggl Plan data via the CSV export (Admin-level required) or API V5, mapping Projects to monday.com boards, Tasks to items, Teams to groups, and Tags to labels. Segments and Milestones have no native monday.com equivalents so we convert them to status columns, label sets, or date-based automation triggers. We do not migrate Toggl Plan Workflows or recurring-task patterns as automation code; we deliver a written inventory of each for the customer's admin to rebuild in monday.com's automation center. The Toggl integration in monday.com is configured post-migration so existing Toggl Track users can continue logging time against monday.com items without re-establishing a manual sync.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Toggl Plan 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.
Toggl Plan
Project
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Toggl Plan Projects map directly to monday.com Boards. We preserve the project name, client association, archived status, and segment as board-level metadata. Active and archived projects are migrated separately so that the customer can decide whether archived boards are included in the initial monday.com workspace setup. If the Toggl Plan workspace uses multiple segments per project, we map each segment to a separate monday.com board or to board Groups with segment labels depending on the customer's preference.
Toggl Plan
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Toggl Plan Tasks are the core record type and map 1:1 to monday.com Items. We map task name, status (todo/in-progress/done), due dates, assignee, and time estimates in minutes. Task hierarchy (sub-tasks in Toggl Plan) maps to sub-items in monday.com, which are fully supported. Start/end timestamps become date columns on the item. The item is created in the board that corresponds to its parent Toggl Plan Project.
Toggl Plan
Team
monday Work Management
Group
1:1Toggl Plan Teams are groupings of users whose schedules appear together on the shared timeline. We map each Team to a monday.com Group within the relevant board, preserving team membership and team name. User-to-group assignment migrates by resolving the Toggl Plan user email to the corresponding monday.com team member. If a Toggl Plan user belongs to multiple teams, they are added to multiple Groups in monday.com.
Toggl Plan
User
monday Work Management
Team Member
1:1Toggl Plan users are identified by name and email. We map Users to monday.com team members by email match. Toggl Plan role differences (Workspace Owner, Admin, User) do not map directly to monday.com permission levels; we assign all migrated users as Members initially and the customer's monday.com admin configures Individual, Editor, or Viewer permissions post-migration based on the destination plan tier.
Toggl Plan
Tag
monday Work Management
Label
1:1Toggl Plan Tags are flat labels applied to tasks across the workspace. We preserve tag names and apply them as Labels in monday.com. Tag color metadata carries over if the destination board uses color-coded labels. Labels in monday.com are workspace-level and can be applied to items across boards, matching the cross-project scope of Toggl Plan tags.
Toggl Plan
Segment
monday Work Management
Label, Status Column, or Custom Column
lossySegments are a Toggl Plan workspace-level concept with no native monday.com equivalent. We do not drop segment data. During scoping, the customer chooses the destination strategy: segments become workspace-level Labels applied to items, a dedicated Status column with segment values, or a text-based custom column. The choice depends on how the customer uses segments for filtering and reporting.
Toggl Plan
Client
monday Work Management
Board (with contact integration)
1:1Toggl Plan Clients are associated with projects. We map Client name and any contact information present to a monday.com Board named for the client, or to a client contact item in a dedicated contacts board. If the customer uses monday.com's Contacts feature, we link client items to Contacts records for cross-board relationship visibility.
Toggl Plan
Milestone
monday Work Management
Date Column + Label or Automation Trigger
lossyToggl Plan Milestones are deadline markers within a project. monday.com has no native milestone object, so we convert milestones to date columns with a milestone label applied to the item, or to automation rules that trigger notifications when the milestone date is reached. The customer chooses the strategy during scoping based on how they use milestones for project tracking and reporting.
Toggl Plan
Recurrence
monday Work Management
Automation Rule or Item Labels
lossyToggl Plan exports recurrence as a rule attached to the task, not as individual instances. monday.com has no native recurrence rule object. We flag every recurring task during scoping. For each recurring task, the customer chooses between two strategies: expand to individual monday.com items with a recurrence label (one item per instance for a defined date range), or document the recurrence pattern as a monday.com automation recipe for the admin to configure post-migration. We do not migrate recurrence as automation code.
Toggl Plan
Time Estimate
monday Work Management
Number Column
1:1Toggl Plan stores task estimates in minutes. We preserve the numeric estimate in a monday.com Number column. The unit context (minutes) is noted in the column name so the customer's team knows the original unit. monday.com does not natively display estimates in the same task card format as Toggl Plan; the number is visible in the item detail view and can be included in formula columns if the Pro plan is selected.
Toggl Plan
Taskbox
monday Work Management
Not migrated
1:1The Taskbox is Toggl Plan's personal holding area for tasks not yet assigned to a project or team. This is an ephemeral workspace state rather than a persistent data object. We do not migrate Taskbox contents as they represent unorganized, transient work items. We surface the Taskbox existence in the scoping call and advise the customer to review its contents manually and assign relevant items to projects before migration.
Toggl Plan
Attachment
monday Work Management
Not migrated
1:1Toggl Plan does not expose an attachment export path in its CSV export or API V5. Files attached to tasks are not included in the data extract and are not accessible via standard API calls. We flag this gap during scoping and recommend the customer exports attachments manually from Toggl Plan and stores them in a shared location (Google Drive, SharePoint, or monday.com Docs) with a reference link added to the migrated item.
Toggl Plan
Comment
monday Work Management
Not migrated
1:1Task comments are not included in the Toggl Plan CSV export or listed as a supported API V5 object. We cannot migrate comment threads as structured data. We recommend the customer exports comments manually from Toggl Plan as a text document linked to the task name, and stores it in the migrated item's activity log or in monday.com Docs if comment context is important for onboarding.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Toggl Plan export validation
We audit the Toggl Plan workspace across active projects, archived projects, teams, users, segments, milestones, recurring tasks, and time estimates. We verify Admin-level access to trigger the CSV export or API V5 endpoint at api.plan.toggl.com/api/v5. We confirm the customer's Toggl Plan deprecation status (whether they have been redirected to Toggl Focus) and assess whether any data has already been moved to Focus. We also identify the Taskbox contents for manual review. The discovery output is a written migration scope including the segment mapping strategy and recurrence handling decision.
Segment strategy and recurrence decision
During scoping, the customer selects how Toggl Plan Segments map in monday.com (Labels, Status column, or custom text column) and how recurring tasks are handled (instance expansion or automation documentation). We confirm recurrence date ranges for instance expansion and document the recurrence rule for each recurring task so that monday.com automation recipes can be rebuilt post-migration. These decisions are locked before any data extraction begins to avoid re-work.
monday.com workspace and board schema setup
We create the monday.com boards corresponding to Toggl Plan projects before any data import. Board names, Group names (from Teams), Label sets (from Tags), column configurations (Status, Date, Number, Text), and Milestone date columns are all deployed into the destination workspace. If the customer uses monday.com Contacts, we pre-create the contacts board and link client items before tasks are migrated.
User and team member provisioning
We extract every distinct Toggl Plan user by email and add them to the monday.com workspace as team members. Toggl Plan role assignments (Owner, Admin, User) do not map to monday.com permission levels at migration time; all migrated users are added as Members and the customer's monday.com admin configures Individual, Editor, or Viewer permissions based on the destination plan tier after migration. User-to-Team mappings are applied as Group memberships within the relevant boards.
Data migration in dependency order
We run migration in record-dependency order: boards first (from Projects), then groups (from Teams), then items (from Tasks with sub-items resolved). Labels are applied from Tags, segment values are mapped per the agreed strategy, milestones are set as date columns with labels, and time estimates land in number columns. Recurring tasks are either expanded to individual items with a recurrence label or held as a documentation list for the admin to rebuild as monday.com automations. Attachments and comments are not structurally migratable; we deliver a reference export for manual handling.
Toggl integration configuration and cutover
We configure the monday.com Toggl integration during the migration engagement using the customer's Toggl Track API token. This creates the integration so it is active at cutover without requiring a separate setup step. We freeze Toggl Plan access during the cutover window, run a delta migration of any records modified during the window, validate row counts across Toggl Plan source and monday.com destination, and hand off the written recurrence automation inventory for the admin to rebuild in monday.com's automation center.
