Move your monday.com boards into Fareeqy
Export to Excel, upload, read the preview, confirm. And show your columns before exporting so they arrive complete.
Importing is available on paid plans and during the free trial, 14 days with no credit card
Your monday.com rollout may have made sense when only a limited group edited boards. Then every new hire, coordinator, approver, and department needed a seat, and recurring cost began growing with the org chart rather than with the value each participant received. The question is no longer whether the boards work. It is whether keeping everyone who views or updates one Item inside the plan remains worth a bill that rises whenever participation spreads across the company. Seat growth becomes the reason to look for a way out.
Open each Board and expose the columns you need in its main view before exporting, because the Excel file omits hidden columns and Updates, and carries Subitems only where they appear as rows. The importer reads the board name from the sheet, preserves Groups as task lists, and turns Items into tasks. When People contains several names or Timeline contains a range, the extra detail is kept in task notes rather than disappearing without explanation.
The result? The boards you invested in move, and the team can follow work in a clear project without seat growth continuing to dictate the cost of participation. Board becomes a project, every Group stays a list its owners recognize, and each Item retains title, state, and date. Extra People names and the Timeline range remain in notes, while absent Updates and Subitems are named before you accept the migration.
What becomes what
Fareeqy has three levels and no fourth: project, task list, task.
| monday.com | Fareeqy |
|---|---|
| Board | Project |
| Group | Task list |
| Item | Task |
| People column | One assignee, with the column's names in the notes |
| Timeline range | The range value in the task notes |
| Done or Complete status | A completed task |
What may surprise you about monday.com
monday.com boards-as-databases are not rebuilt as databases in Fareeqy. The importer reads the Board title, Groups, Items, and recognized visible columns such as People, Status, and Date. It creates a project with task lists and tasks; other column types and board logic do not become a parallel database.
How to export from monday.com
A single board
Open the board, then from the three-dot menu above it:
Board menu → Export board to Excel
One xlsx file downloads. Repeat it per board and add the files together in one upload.
Accepted formats: Excel, or ZIP. You can upload several files together in one go.
What comes across, and what does not
Comes across
- Items with their names
- Due dates and completion state
- Assignees, and the preview asks you who each one is on your team
- Groups, as task lists
Does not come across
- Updates. The Excel file does not carry them, and the discussions stay in monday.com.
- Subitems, unless they appear as rows in the file itself.
- Files you uploaded inside the tool itself. Their bytes are not in the export at all, and fetching them would need your credentials for that account. Links do come across, inside the task's notes.
Before you start
monday.com exports to Excel only, and what gets exported is the columns visible in the main view. Show what you need before exporting: name, status, assignee and date.
How the import runs
Nothing is written until you approve it
Upload the file and we read it, then show you exactly what would be created: how many projects, task lists and tasks, every title we would have to rename, and every person on your board. Only the confirm button creates data.
Duplicate titles are settled in front of you
Your board has three cards called Follow up, and the board's own name may already belong to a project you made last year. We rename, and every rename is on screen before you confirm, not after.
Upload the same export again safely
Re-exported after another week of work? Upload it again. What you imported before keeps your edits, and only what is new is added. This is a migration tool, not a two-way sync, so an import never overwrites what you changed inside Fareeqy.
The file stays yours
Delete it from the import page whenever you want. Forget about it and we delete it automatically after 30 days.
Frequently asked questions
Do Updates come across?
Why did some columns arrive empty?
I have many boards. Can I upload them together?
Who becomes the assignee when monday.com People contains several names?
A Fareeqy task has one assignee, so the importer uses the leading name in the People value as the assignee reference you match during preview. It does not hide the other participants: the names from the People column are written in a clear line inside the task notes, and the preview reports that the source carried multiple assignees. You can keep one person accountable while retaining the people who shared the monday.com Item for reference.
The reader separates People names whether monday.com wrote them with commas or semicolons, then gathers distinct names across Board Items so the preview asks you to match each person once. It never connects by email or name similarity automatically because the Excel file carries a display name, not a Fareeqy member identifier. You decide which account corresponds to that value, preventing a task belonging to one Sara from reaching somebody else with the same name.
Excel carries no stable Item identifier for a later import to rely on, so the migration ledger falls back to the task title and its occurrence order inside the list. Upload the same Board again without changing titles and it can recognize rows that already arrived. Rename an Item in monday.com after migration and a later export may look like a new task. The preview shows what will be skipped or added, so never treat another upload as synchronization of people or titles.
If Person is selected as the grouping, the column values also name task lists. The default instead preserves the Groups your team authored in the Board, leaving People responsible only for assignment and the explanatory note. A People column hidden from the main view at export time cannot appear in Excel for the importer to read, so expose it and quickly check the workbook before upload. The preview cannot map a value monday.com never exported.
How does the importer handle a monday.com Timeline column?
A monday.com Timeline is a range with a beginning and an end, while a Fareeqy task has one due date. The importer therefore does not pretend it recreated an equivalent range field. When a Timeline value contains both ends, the original range is written into the task notes under a clear heading. The planned duration remains readable after migration even though it does not become a separate scheduling object in the project.
A monday.com file is read from its actual layout, not treated as an ordinary flat table. The Board name sits above the sheet, a Group name appears alone, and a header row repeats before the Items in each Group. The importer recognizes that sequence and preserves every Group, including the one that appears before the initial header row. It then reads Timeline from the Item row itself, preventing a range from being confused with a group or board title.
What arrives still depends on the columns visible in the main view when Excel is created. Expose Timeline, Date, Status, and People when needed. A recognized Status such as Done or Complete can mark the task complete, while a custom label the importer cannot identify stays open instead of being guessed from a color absent from the file. Updates and Subitems are not present in Excel at all, so review those separately from the Timeline value retained in notes.
