Zoho CRM free account to Mailchimp
Good Evening, I am using for now the free edition of Zoho CRM. I would like to connect my leads with a specific Mailchimp list 'My Zoho Clients'. Using the Mailchimp extension from marketplace I saw that it creates a new list in Mailchimp 'Zoho CRMleads' and then it syncs the leads to this list. This is not exactly what I want. I think that this extension is not possible to send the leads from the Zoho CRM to a specific Mailchimp list. Do you know a free sync tool which can do the above?

Mass Schedule Call
I'd like to create a call list for a user. Either by mass selecting the records or through a filtered search. Essentially I would like to be able to mass choose the contacts, schedule a call and assign those calls to a specific team member. Basically to run a phone bank. So once the user was done with the call for Contact A and entering the info, they would go back to the list and Contact A would be gone because the call is complete and they would move on to Contact B.

Why are we being asked to migrate API's from 1.0 to 2.0
A client of mine received an email from Zoho them to migrate their API's from 1.0 to 2.0 for ZohoCRM. The thing is they do not have any custom API's. They do not integrate ZohoCRM with any other services or their website. They use ZohoCRM standalone. They never had to make any custom API's when they originally set it up. What exactly is Zoho asking them. Does this migration only apply to those customers of ZohoCRM that link it to other platforms and services or are all ZohoCRM customers required
Intergration with Google Forms?
I'm trying to help a student of mine and this is what they're requesting. I tried to look through the website to see if it would do this but there's SO much that the software does that it's hard to find what I'm looking for. "It would be great if I had something that auto filled from my Google Form that people fill out with like a dashboard that showed me "you need to follow up with these people today!" and maybe a warning about the people I'll have to call the next day, perhaps you can change the

How to send an email to a 2nd email address associated with Lead or Account
Within CRM, I have a primary contact, or Lead. There is a second person closely related to the Lead that I'd like to send an email to, who has a different email address.. Is there a way to do this? Perhaps connecting the Lead module to another module? As it relates to the Lead, I'd like to set up a task, or automated task even, to send an email to this second person. Recurring emails actually, once per month. Perhaps this can be set up outside of CRM?

Zoho CRM and Xero Integration
I have tried a number of 3rd party synchronisation options to sync Zoho CRM with Xero but none provide all the features that I need, the most important being transferring full sales history into Zoho CRM. We have been using Zoho Analytics for quite a while which syncs natively with Xero and transfers all this data across. Using Analytics we can view all sales information going back over 2 years. As we are now using Zoho CRM Plus, which includes Analytics, would it be possible to create a button on

Problem: New UI - Misaligned Fields
With the new UI rollout has anybody else noticed misaligned (custom) fields all over the place? I have issues in the following modules: - Quotes - Sales Orders - Accounts - Contacts - Leads - Tasks - Cases Screenshots attached. This was reported to Zoho at the beginning of the week but no resolution. It's not a huge deal but looks very unprofessional and just another chip away at the confidence level my users have in the system. It would be nice if you had the ability to switch over to the new UI

Zoho Form - Map Dependency Fields
Hey Guys. So I have map dependency set up in my leads. Both the fields are a drop down multiple choice. So the child field is automatically filled after a parent field is selected. Now I want to do the same process for leads via Zoho Forms. However, once we select the parent field, the child field does not automatically get filled in the CRM records. Is there any way to do this?

CRM PHP SDK RelatedList Records

Webform integration. Two different forms (panel) and pop-up. In the URL, it does not executes validation of required fields
Hi, I have been trying to integrate a webform to track leads directly from my wordpress site. For the past few days it did not worked because the send button was grayed out. Today, I noticed that when I don´t edit the form but click on "Embed options", the code shown is slightly different and does allow me to submit and I do receive it in my Leads view. BUT: It does not run the validation of required fields. I can submit a totally empty form. The form shown at the end of the creation process, has
Looking for integration between Zoho CRM and an online payment option...
I have been using Zoho for a while now (soon to subscribe). I can't say "it's terrific" enough number of times! We are an appliance service business. I know that I can create invoices in the CRM but it would be so much better if the field technician could process the customer's credit card from right within ZohoCRM and the response from the third party (merchant gateway etc.) would then update some fields within Zoho CRM (with approval code for example). How complex is this to implement? I have been
Zoho Api v2 Log a Call to Contact Error - Call_Type Invalid Direction

Best Practices for Setting up Email Templates for many users?
My sales team wants to have a set of commonly used emails to be created as templates. How do I make this as easy as possible to use? We want each email to have the user's signature included in the message. Using templates, is there a way to automatically pull in the user's email signature? Otherwise, I can think of two options, neither seem like a good solution: 1. Create a template for each user, for each use case. EG -- if there are 4 sales people, there would be 4 versions of each template.
Organization Email Addresses Limit
Hi, I have been dealing with an issue as an agency that does marketing and sales for multiple businesses. Zoho has been great for us by using automation workflows to send out campaign emails. The problem is we have users that represent more than 10 seperate email addresses for those individual companies. Because of the organization email limit we are unable to add businesses to our workflow process unless we buy a license for each new email that we need emails sent from in those automatic workflows.

Zoho Api rejects leads with .cookie in the email address.
Why does the api not allow a lead with '.cookie' in the email?
