Import a monday.com board
into Navalo.
Direct import from monday.com is switched off for now: the connection would bring item names and groups and nothing else, which is the thinnest of the five. Export the board to CSV from monday.com and paste it into Navalo instead. The paste importer is on every plan and brings more across.
How a monday.com board comes across today.
Bringing a monday.com board across would give you task names and groups and nothing else. A monday item has no description field, and its priorities, dates and owners live in board columns we cannot read reliably yet.
Export, then paste
Export the board to CSV from monday.com and paste it below instead. That route carries owners, due dates and priorities as well as the names, so it brings more across than the direct connection would.
Pick a board
A monday.com board. Navalo lists a hundred active boards, most recently used first, with an item count beside each.
Mapped, field by field.
- The item name becomes the task title.
- The group becomes the column.
Completion comes across. Where the source marks a card done in its own right - a tick, a completed state, a due date ticked off - Navalo reads that, and the card arrives complete in whatever column it came from. Where the source records nothing but the column, a card is complete only when that column's name is one this product already treats as done.
Left behind, on purpose and in full.
- Every column value without exception: status, person, date, timeline, numbers, text, dropdown, tags, checkbox, formula, mirror, dependency and files
- Updates and comments
- Subitems
- Files and the board description
- The item creator, its timestamps and the link back to monday.com
- Descriptions: nothing on a monday.com item becomes a task description
- Priority: items arrive at the default priority
If one of these is the thing you cannot lose, export a CSV and use the paste importer instead. It is on every plan and it maps a due date, and an assignee when the name or email matches someone in your workspace, which the live importer does not.
The ceilings a big workspace will meet.
Measured from the importer itself rather than estimated. A migration that quietly stops at a limit is worse than one that tells you the limit first.
- Up to two thousand five hundred items per board. A larger board is cut off at that point, and the import says so on screen rather than reporting a clean success.
- The board picker shows the hundred most recently used active boards, not all of them.
- An import is a one-off copy, not a running sync. Nothing is written back to the source, and running the same import twice creates a second project with the same tasks in it.
- Your credentials are never stored. They travel with the request, make the calls and are discarded; there is no token table behind this.
- There is no undo. If an import is wrong, delete the project it made and run it again.
- Every finished import writes an audit row: which source, how many columns, how many tasks, who ran it, whether it finished cleanly and why any rows were skipped. A live import that fails writes one too. Pasting a file writes one, and both kinds appear in the same list.
- The person who runs the import becomes a manager on the new project, and the project takes your organisation's default visibility.
