Migration Steps
Audit and export your current workspace
Before touching Airtable, document what lives in Miro: projects and tasks, custom fields, automations, integrations, and team permissions. Export a full CSV backup — most tools support this from Settings → Export. Pay particular attention to any workflow automations that your team relies on daily.
Set up your Airtable workspace
Create your Airtable workspace and replicate your project structure using tasks and projects. Airtable starts at $20/user/mo/user/mo with a free tier available — budget $12/user/mo more per user. Run with a single pilot team before migrating everyone.
Map your workflow equivalents
Find the closest Airtable equivalent for each Miro feature your team relies on. projects and tasks in Miro maps to tasks and projects in Airtable. Airtable supports custom fields — recreate your Miro field schema here first. Gantt-style timeline views are available if your team used them in Miro. Prioritise the critical path: task creation, status tracking, and assignment.
Import your data
Airtable supports CSV import for tasks and projects and has 20+ native integrations. After importing, rebuild your key automations — Airtable's automation engine can replicate most rules you had in Miro. Start with your most active project rather than importing everything at once.
Onboard your team
Run a 30-minute walkthrough covering the daily workflow: how to create tasks and projects, update status, and find your board. Expect a moderate ramp — most engineers and PMs hit their stride within a week. The biggest adjustment is usually the project hierarchy.
Run Miro in parallel for two weeks
Keep Miro read-only while your team works primarily in Airtable. This reduces risk and lets people reference historical context — old decisions, archived tickets, past sprint data — without slowing the migration. After two weeks with no new work going into Miro, archive the workspace and make Airtable the official home.
