Enhancements in Zoho Survey integration with Zoho CRM
Are you posing survey questions to a customer over a phone call? In that case, you may now quickly want to attend the survey from Zoho CRM on behalf of the customer as you speak to them!

Zoho Survey integration with Zoho CRM brings to you a new feature called Attend Survey , which is present as a link in the  Zoho Survey Related List . Using this, a CRM user can take a survey on behalf of a customer. 

These surveys are indicated as Attended by User in the contact’s Zoho Survey Related List

Besides this, there is now an option for you to automatically push CRM users to your Survey account while configuring the integration. The users thus added will be able to create or edit surveys in Zoho Survey.  

Also, you can now directly insert a survey while composing an email to a customer. Even if you have not prepared a survey email template, you can simply click the Survey icon to directly select and send a survey to a customer from the Compose Email popup.  See also:

Enhancements in Zoho CRM Plugin for Microsoft Outlook 
The Zoho CRM Plugin for Microsoft Outlook (for Windows Edition) has a couple of updates in store for you.

While synchronizing contacts, tasks or events, you may want to skip a few of records and then sync the rest. If you are initiating synchronization several times, you have to manually skip the records every time you run the sync. But not anymore. We have introduced an enhancement here to save you the trouble.

Records that were not added in a previous synchronization will now be marked as Ignored during previous sync and will automatically be unchecked. This way you easily know which records were not synchronized previously and you don’t have to uncheck them manually every time you sync records. If you choose to add them too, you can simply select them and proceed for sync. 


Besides this, Contacts/Tasks/Calendar Synchronization details are now presented to you in three categories – To Add, To Update and To Delete for better clarity. 
 

Improved UI for Embedding Options in Webform Integration 
The user interface for web form embedding options has been improved for ease of use. You can simply select from Source Code, Embed or iFrame format and paste the code on your website. If required you can also choose to track  Google Adwords information of the incoming lead/contact via web form.
