Overview
Moving from Workamajig to monday.com is a structural migration that flattens Workamajig's three-level hierarchy (Campaigns containing Projects containing Tasks) into monday.com's two-level board structure (Boards containing Items and Groups). Workamajig bundles deep ERP features—invoicing, purchase orders, payables, and receivables—inside a single subscription, while monday.com separates work management from CRM and sells each as an independent product. We map the Campaign-to-Project relationship to Board-and-Group equivalents, preserve the full task tree with predecessor dependencies, and carry over time-entry history. Workamajig's billing module (invoices, purchase orders, and expense records) has no direct monday.com equivalent; we export the data comprehensively and deliver a written reference for manual rebuild or third-party billing integration. Workflows, automations, and approval rules are out of scope as code; we inventory them for your admin to reconstruct in monday.com's automation engine.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Workamajig 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.
Workamajig
Campaign
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Workamajig Campaigns represent top-level client engagements that aggregate multiple Projects for budget tracking and reporting. Each Campaign maps to a monday.com Board, with the Campaign name becoming the Board name and the Campaign budget/billing fields noted as reference values to recreate in monday.com Dashboard widgets. We preserve campaign-level estimates and budget totals as a written field-mapping reference for Dashboard construction rather than a live linked record.
Workamajig
Project
monday Work Management
Group (inside Board)
1:1Workamajig Projects nest under Campaigns and contain Tasks, time entries, and billing records. Each Project maps to a Group within the Campaign Board. The Campaign-to-Project parent-child linkage is preserved as Group ordering within the Board and documented in a separate reference sheet. Project custom fields (client tier, project type, status) map to monday.com Group columns.
Workamajig
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Workamajig Tasks nest under Projects with date ranges, hourly allocations, predecessors, and completion statuses. Each Task maps to a monday.com Item within the appropriate Group. Task predecessors map to monday.com Dependencies (available on Work Management tiers). Date ranges map to the Timeline column, and hourly allocations map to the Number column with the customer's preferred unit label.
Workamajig
Task Hierarchy
monday Work Management
Subitem
lossyWorkamajig supports multi-level task nesting within Projects. monday.com supports Subitems (one level of nesting per Item) on Work Management Standard and above. For Workamajig tasks with more than two levels of nesting, we flatten the deepest level as Item columns and note the hierarchy depth in a mapping reference. Subitem assignments, due dates, and status map to the Subitem's own columns.
Workamajig
Deliverable
monday Work Management
Item or Subitem
1:1Workamajig Deliverables represent reviewable creative outputs tied to approval workflows with reviewer assignments and approval statuses. Deliverables map to monday.com Items (if standalone) or Subitems (if nested under a parent Task Item) with a Status column reflecting the approval state. The reviewer assignment maps to the Assignee column. We flag deliverables with an approval_status of pending for manual status updates post-migration since monday.com's approval feature requires separate setup.
Workamajig
Custom Field (Project, Campaign, Task)
monday Work Management
Column
1:1Workamajig custom fields on Projects, Campaigns, and Tasks (dropdowns, checkboxes, date pickers, numeric fields, text fields) map to the closest monday.com Column type: Dropdown maps to Labels, checkbox maps to Checkbox, date picker maps to Date, numeric maps to Number, and text maps to Text. Choice options are preserved as Label options. Required flags from Workamajig require manual enforcement in monday.com as the platform does not enforce required columns at import time.
Workamajig
Company
monday Work Management
Item (Contacts Board)
1:1Workamajig Companies store client organizational records with their own custom fields and contact associations. Companies map to Items in a dedicated monday.com Contacts Board. The Company name maps to Item name, address fields map to Text columns, and any associated Contact Items link via a Connect Boards column. We set up the Contacts Board before migrating Projects so that cross-board Links are satisfied at import time.
Workamajig
Contact
monday Work Management
Item (Contacts Board)
1:1Workamajig Contacts store individual people tied to Companies with roles and contact details. Each Contact maps to an Item in the monday.com Contacts Board with the Contact's Name as Item name, email as a Text column, phone as a Phone column, and role as a Labels column. The Company-Contact relationship maps to a Connect Boards Link to the Company Item. Contact custom fields map to additional Columns on the Contacts Board.
Workamajig
Time Entry
monday Work Management
Item (Time Tracking Board)
1:1Workamajig Time Entries link to Projects and Tasks with billable/non-billable flags, hourly rates, duration, and owner. Time entries map to Items in a dedicated Time Tracking Board with a Date column (entry date), Number column (hours), Labels column (billable/non-billable), Number column (hourly rate), and a Connect Boards column linking to the parent Project Item and Task Item. We use the Work Management Standard Time Tracking column format. Historical time entries with dates in the past preserve their original ActivityDate in the import.
Workamajig
Invoice
monday Work Management
Not migrated (reference export)
1:1Workamajig Invoices generate from Projects with line items, payment status, and transaction links. monday.com has no native billing or invoice object. We export all invoice records comprehensively as a CSV with client name, invoice number, date, line items, amounts, and payment status. The customer uses this export to rebuild invoices in their chosen billing platform (QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, or a dedicated agency billing tool) or to manually recreate in monday.com using a custom board if preferred.
Workamajig
Purchase Order
monday Work Management
Not migrated (reference export)
1:1Workamajig Purchase Orders track vendor expenses against Projects with PO headers, line items, and vendor associations. There is no equivalent object in monday.com. We export all purchase order records as a CSV including vendor, project association, PO number, line items, amounts, and status. The customer uses this for vendor reconciliation in their accounting software or for manual reference.
Workamajig
Activity
monday Work Management
Item Update
1:1Workamajig Activities capture engagement history on Companies and Contacts (call logs, email logs, meeting notes). The activities module is read-only via API (GET only) at 50 req/min. Activity records migrate as monday.com Item Updates on the relevant Contact or Company Item, with the original timestamp preserved in the Update body and the activity type noted in the update text. We cannot migrate automation rules or activity-triggered workflows from this module.
Workamajig
Report (data)
monday Work Management
Dashboard
lossyWorkamajig report data (P&L, burn charts, utilization breakdowns) exports via CSV or the API. monday.com Dashboards rebuild these views using widget types (Chart, Number, Gauge) connected to Board data. We export all report data and deliver a widget-mapping reference that maps each Workamajig report metric to a monday.com Dashboard widget with the relevant board and column source. Report definitions and column layouts do not export; these require manual rebuild guided by our widget-mapping reference.

Workamajig gotchas
Projects API rate limit of 20 req/min throttles large migrations
API is beta1 with no backward-compatibility guarantees
Server migrations change IP addresses and break IP-whitelisted integrations
Report definitions do not export, only report data
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

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source Workamajig instance across all modules, documenting Campaign count, Project count, Task count, Deliverable count, custom field schemas per object type, time-entry volume, Company and Contact record counts, invoice and purchase order totals, active workflow rules, and active approval processes. We extract via the Workamajig API (chunked at 20 req/min for Projects) and via CSV export for modules with GET-only API access. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, schema snapshots, and a preliminary object-mapping table. We flag any Workamajig modules with no destination equivalent (invoices, purchase orders, media items) for explicit scope confirmation.
monday.com workspace and board architecture design
We design the monday.com workspace structure based on the Workamajig Campaign hierarchy. Each Workamajig Campaign becomes a monday.com Board. Each Workamajig Project within a Campaign becomes a Group within that Board. We create a separate Contacts Board for Companies and Contacts with a Connect Boards link column for cross-referencing. We create a Time Tracking Board for historical time entries. Column types are assigned for every Workamajig custom field, and Subitem configuration is planned for tasks with more than one level of nesting. The architecture design is validated in a monday.com test workspace before any data moves.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a monday.com test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Boards in, Groups in, Items in, Subitems in), spot-checks 25-50 random items against the Workamajig source, validates that task predecessors resolved correctly, and confirms that time entries linked to the correct parent items. Any column type mismatches, custom field mapping corrections, or hierarchy flattening adjustments happen here in the test environment. Sign-off on the sandbox migration is required before production migration begins.
Parent-record lookup resolution
We resolve all inter-object references before inserting dependent records. This means creating Company Items before Contact Items (so the Connect Boards link is satisfied), creating Project Groups before Task Items (so the Group is present), and preparing the time tracking board before time entries are imported with their parent item IDs. Workamajig's Company-Contact relationship and Project-Task relationship are both resolved at this stage. Owner assignments map from Workamajig Owner email to monday.com Team Member email.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in strict record-dependency order: Contacts Board (Companies first, then Contacts with Company links), then Project Boards (Groups created first, then Items), then Subitems, then time entries with parent links, then Activity history as Item Updates. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Workamajig writes are frozen during cutover and a final delta pass captures any records modified during the migration window. Invoice and purchase order exports run as separate CSV jobs not tied to monday.com record creation.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We enable monday.com as the system of record after the final delta migration and reconciliation pass. We deliver the Workflow and automation inventory document to your admin team for monday.com automation center rebuild. We deliver the invoice and purchase order CSV exports with a field-mapping reference for your chosen billing system. We support a one-week hypercare window for data reconciliation issues. monday.com Automations, Invoices, and Report Layouts are rebuilt by your admin or a monday.com partner; this is outside the standard migration scope and is quoted separately if needed.
