Overview
Moving from WiseTeam to monday.com is a structural migration across two fundamentally different data models. WiseTeam combines CRM and project management in a single structured database with a client hierarchy, nested tasks, time records, and invoices. monday.com uses a Board-and-Item architecture where Work Management boards contain Items and Groups, with column types replacing typed fields. We translate WiseTeam's Client records to monday Contacts or Board items, Projects to top-level Boards, Tasks to Items and Sub-items, Time entries to time-tracking columns on Pro and Enterprise plans, and Sales Opportunities to a dedicated Deals board with pipeline columns. WiseTeam's undocumented API requires us to establish an export method during scoping — CSV export, direct database export, or any existing API credentials — before we can confirm field-level extraction. Automations, workflow templates, and industry-specific stage configurations do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory for manual rebuild in monday's Automation Builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a WiseTeam 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.
WiseTeam
Client
monday Work Management
Contact or Board Item
1:1WiseTeam Client records (company name, contact details, lifecycle stage) map to monday.com Contacts if the customer licenses the monday CRM add-on, or to Items on a dedicated Clients Board if using Work Management only. The Client lifecycle stage property maps to a Status or Label column in monday. We resolve any duplicate client names as dedupe keys during import.
WiseTeam
Project
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Each WiseTeam Project maps to a monday.com Board. The Project name becomes the Board name, and the linked Client becomes a Board Group or a connected Board via a Connect Board column. We pre-create the Board structure — Groups, column types, and Views (Kanban, Timeline, Table) — before any Item import so that the schema is ready for incoming data. Custom fields on WiseTeam Projects map to monday column types (Text, Number, Date, Status, Label, etc.).
WiseTeam
Task
monday Work Management
Item or Sub-item
1:1WiseTeam Tasks map to monday.com Items within their parent Project Board. Sub-tasks in WiseTeam map to Sub-items in monday, preserving the parent-child hierarchy. Each Task's assignee, due date, status, and description map to the corresponding monday column (People, Date, Status, Text). Task-level custom fields map to additional monday columns created during board setup.
WiseTeam
Time Entry
monday Work Management
Time Column (Pro/Enterprise) or Number Column
1:1WiseTeam Time Entries (hours, date, linked Task or Project) map to monday.com Time Tracking columns on Pro and Enterprise plans if the customer enables the feature per board. If the destination plan is Standard, Time Entries map to a Number column representing hours as a numeric value. We flag this decision during scoping based on the target monday plan. Time Entry descriptions migrate as a Text column for audit.
WiseTeam
Sales Opportunity
monday Work Management
Deals Board Item
1:1WiseTeam Opportunities (stage, value, close date, linked Client) map to Items on a dedicated monday Deals board if the customer uses monday CRM, or to Items on a Pipeline Board with a Status column representing the sales stage if using Work Management only. Opportunity value maps to a Number column, close date to a Date column, and stage to a Status or Pipeline column.
WiseTeam
Invoice
monday Work Management
Not supported natively
lossyWiseTeam Invoices (line items, amounts, status) have no direct monday.com native equivalent. Work Management plans do not include billing or invoicing. If the customer requires invoice data post-migration, we export invoice headers and line items as a structured CSV and recommend a monday-integrated billing tool (e.g., Wave, Zoho Invoice, or the monday.com Billing integration on Enterprise). We document the invoice data schema for the customer's admin to connect to their chosen tool.
WiseTeam
Calendar Events
monday Work Management
Item with Date Column
1:1WiseTeam Calendar Events (title, date, attendee) sync via iCal, Outlook, and Gmail integrations. We export calendar event data as Items on a dedicated Calendar Board with Start Date and End Date columns. monday's native Calendar View displays these Items by date. Full two-way calendar sync with Outlook or Gmail requires the respective monday.com integration to be configured post-migration.
WiseTeam
Custom Fields (Projects and Tasks)
monday Work Management
Custom Columns
lossyWiseTeam allows custom fields on Projects and Tasks. During scoping we discover custom field names, data types, and values. We map text custom fields to monday Text columns, numeric fields to Number columns, date fields to Date columns, and option-set fields to Status or Label columns. Any WiseTeam custom field with no clear monday equivalent is flagged as a manual-rebuild item for the customer's admin.
WiseTeam
Users and Assignees
monday Work Management
User
1:1WiseTeam users are assigned as Task owners and Project participants. We extract user email addresses and names from the source, then resolve them against monday.com User accounts by email match. Any WiseTeam user without a matching monday User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import begins. Assignee references on Tasks and Projects resolve to monday People column values after user mapping is confirmed.
WiseTeam
Attachments
monday Work Management
File Column or Item Attachments
1:1File attachments on WiseTeam Tasks and Projects are extracted from the export (CSV or direct database export) and uploaded to monday.com Item attachments. monday's File column type also supports attachments. We flag any file size or format limits in monday (max 250 MB per file on Enterprise) during scoping to identify any attachments that may require compression or a separate document management recommendation.
WiseTeam
Workflow and Stage Configurations
monday Work Management
Not migratable
lossyWiseTeam ships industry-specific workflow templates and stage configurations for legal, architecture, real estate, and engineering firms. These workflow definitions are not confirmed to be exportable via API or standard data export. We document the existing stage names, transition rules, and automation triggers during scoping and deliver a written inventory mapping each to a monday.com Automation Builder equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds these in monday's Automation Builder post-migration.
WiseTeam
Integrations (iCal, Outlook, Gmail)
monday Work Management
monday.com Integrations
lossyWiseTeam integrates with iCal, Microsoft Outlook, and Gmail for calendar data. These integrations are source-side and do not migrate. We document the existing integration endpoints and recommend the monday.com native integrations for Outlook, Gmail, and calendar sync to be configured post-migration. monday.com supports 200+ native integrations including the Microsoft Teams integration which some WiseTeam customers use alongside their calendar sync.

Migration approach
Scoping and export method confirmation
We audit the WiseTeam account to understand data volumes (Clients, Projects, Tasks, Time Entries, Opportunities, Invoices), identify custom field names and types, and determine the export method. If WiseTeam API credentials or export templates exist, we document the endpoints and schema. If no API access exists, we request CSV exports from WiseTeam or discuss direct database export with the customer's technical team. We also confirm the target monday.com plan (Standard, Pro, or Enterprise) and whether the customer licenses monday CRM. The scoping output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, export method decision, and board architecture outline.
monday.com workspace and board architecture design
We design the monday.com workspace structure before any data moves. This includes creating Workspaces, naming Boards to match WiseTeam Project names, configuring Groups (mirroring WiseTeam Project sections), defining column types for every mapped field (Status, Date, People, Number, Text, Label, Time Tracking), and setting up Views (Kanban for task status, Timeline for project schedules, Table for data-heavy boards). If the customer uses monday CRM, we design the Deals board with pipeline columns. If the customer uses Work Management only, we design a Clients board to hold CRM-equivalent data. The customer reviews and approves the board architecture before we proceed to data extraction.
WiseTeam data extraction
We extract data from WiseTeam using the confirmed method — API, CSV export, or database export. For each object, we produce a structured data file with all standard and custom fields, parent-child relationships preserved via foreign keys, and timestamps (created date, modified date) for historical ordering. We flag any records with missing required fields (e.g., Client-less Projects) and return them to the customer for resolution before proceeding. File attachments are extracted separately and stored by their linked Task or Project identifier for bulk upload into monday.com.
Data transformation and board population
We transform the extracted WiseTeam data into monday.com-compatible format. Client records become either monday Contacts or Board items on the Clients board. Projects become Boards with the linked Client added as a Group. Tasks become Items within their parent Board (or Sub-items if WiseTeam sub-tasks exist), with People column values resolved against the monday User list by email match, Date columns populated from task due dates, and Status columns set from WiseTeam task status. Time Entries map to Time Tracking or Number columns depending on monday plan tier. We validate the transformation logic in a test run against a subset of data before full load.
Sandbox or pilot migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a monday.com test workspace or the production workspace in a non-disruptive pilot phase. The customer reconciles record counts against the WiseTeam source (Clients in vs board items in, Projects in vs boards in, Tasks in vs items in, Time entries mapped, Attachments uploaded), spot-checks 25-50 records for data accuracy, and reviews the board structure and column values. Any mapping corrections — wrong column type, missing custom field, incorrect parent-child relationship — are fixed before the production migration begins.
Production migration and cutover
We run the production migration in dependency order: Users (provisioned in monday and validated), Clients/Contacts, Projects (Boards created), Tasks (Items loaded with parent references resolved), Time Entries, Opportunities, Invoices (CSV export delivered as separate file), Attachments, and Calendar Events. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We then deliver the automation and workflow inventory document, provide the invoice CSV for third-party billing tool integration, and hand off the monday integration setup for calendar sync, Outlook, and Gmail. We support a one-week post-migration hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
