Sync with Zoho CRM

When users sync records, they tend to miss out the Criteria option in the first step of sync settings. It is easy to filter the leads by certain criteria or subset as it is assigned in CRM field. In sync settings page,

1. Choose the Leads under the Module to sync.
2. Select the Criteria and choose the field to filter the leads.
3. Complete the mapping field, fetching interval steps to complete the sync process.

You can view the contacts by viewing the Import Details. To view import details

2. Click the sync name --> Import Details
3. This will take you to Import History where you can view the Invalid Contacts

1. Go to Contacts --> Sync Contacts.

3. Choose the Criteria option and select the check box related to Potentials Fields.
4. Now, set the conditions by selecting the Potentials and filter the records from the Potentials tab.

There are 2 ways through which you can avoid this limitation.

Firstly, Sync all Contacts/Leads from Zoho CRM to Zoho Campaigns. Then, you can create segments to filter the contacts/leads based on criteria and target email campaigns to a particular set of contacts/leads under each segment.

Secondly, If you frequently add new contacts in Zoho CRM, please select the fetch interval as Daily, Weekly or Monthly.

Yes, it is possible to push data from Zoho Campaigns to Zoho CRM account. You can push an e-mail address along with the open and clicked reports in the related fields in Leads or Contacts tab in Zoho CRM.

For example, you can push contacts based on open and click activity.

Any contact, which starts with info, sales, admin, jobs, and office will not be imported and if a customer requests with a valid reason, we will allow them by changing the settings from our end. Nobody would provide the sales or info id as his contact email id and sending the campaign to those email ids has a high chance of getting marked as spam and that is the reason, we have blocked them.

1. Log in to Zoho CRM account.
2. Click on the Setup link at the right top of the page.
3. In the Setup page, click Developer Space icon.
