We move your Airtable bases into monday.com boards with records, fields, linked records, collaborators and attachments, and rebuild your formulas, lookups, automations and interfaces.

## Why Teams Move from Airtable to monday.com

Airtable is a flexible database. Teams usually look at monday.com when they want that data inside a work platform the whole company uses: assignments, timelines, workload and dashboards on the same boards.

Our [Airtable vs monday.com comparison](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/project-management-software/airtable-vs-monday/) goes through the differences.

## What Moves, What We Rebuild, What Cannot Move

Data moves through Airtable's exports and API; customizations such as automations, views and forms are rebuilt in monday.com.

## How the Migration Runs

Every step is agreed with you before the next one starts.

### Free assessment

We look at your Airtable bases and tables, item counts, files and automations, and send a fixed quote with the list of what moves, what we rebuild and what cannot move.

### Data map

Each part of Airtable becomes a monday.com board, group, item or column of the right type. You sign off the map, including what to leave behind.

### Test migration

We move a sample with its comments and files, and you check it in monday.com.

### Full migration and rebuild

We move everything in scope, link the items, and rebuild your automations, views and forms in monday.com.

### Checks and handover

We compare item counts board by board, walk your team through the new boards, and hand the export files over to you.

## When Airtable Is Still the Right Call

Moving is not always the answer. Stay on Airtable, or plan the move carefully, if:

-   Your bases are mostly a database for an app or a website, not work your team manages. monday.com is built around work and people, not as a back-end database.
-   You have a few small bases and tables with no comments or files you need to keep. A [spreadsheet import](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/data-migration/excel-to-monday/) is enough.

### Doing it yourself, compared

The options monday.com gives you, set against a full migration. Each fact comes from the sources below.

|  | Spreadsheet import (CSV or Excel) | TaskRhino migration |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Tables | One CSV per table, as Number, Status, Email, Date or Text into a new board | Every field as the matching column type |
| Linked records | Arrive as text | Connect boards columns |
| Attachments | Links that expire after a few hours | Files copied into a Files column |
| Formulas, automations and interfaces | Not moved | Rebuilt in monday.com |

The assessment tells you which of these apply before you commit.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I move Airtable to monday.com myself?

monday.com has no built-in Airtable import. You can download a CSV from each Airtable view and import it as a spreadsheet, but linked records arrive as text and attachment links expire after a few hours.

### Do comments and attachments move?

Airtable's CSV export gives each attachment as a file name and a link that expires after a few hours, so we copy the files into a Files column during the move. Record comments are not in the CSV export, so we read them through Airtable's API and copy them into the item's updates.

### What happens to our automations, views and forms?

No export carries them. We list each one in the assessment and rebuild the ones you still need as monday.com automations, views, forms and dashboards.

### What cannot be moved?

Extension data: Data stored only in extensions is not in Airtable's export. Change history (who changed what, and when): An import can't write monday.com's activity log; it starts on the day of the move. Everything else in the table above either moves or is rebuilt in monday.com.

### How long does it take?

It depends on how many bases and tables and items you have, how many files, and how much needs rebuilding. The dates are fixed in your quote after the free assessment.

### How much does it cost?

It depends on your bases and tables, item counts, files and automations. The assessment is free and ends with a fixed quote.

What moves and what does not is taken from these official documents, read in October 2026.

### Airtable: Getting started with Airtable views

CSV per view and table; attachment URLs in the CSV expire after a few hours; record comments, field descriptions and extension data are not included. Record comments come from Airtable's [List comments](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/list-comments) API and field descriptions from its [base schema](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/get-base-schema), on all plans.
