In customer support, context is everything. The integration between Zoho Desk and Zoho CRM helps your sales and support teams function as one, delivering better customer experiences. With the latest update to this integration, you can now sync the Product module in your Zoho CRM with your Zoho Desk portal. This feature enables products from Zoho CRM to reflect in the "product" field in Zoho Desk. This can save your support team valuable time and effort. 
 
Some things to note when syncing the two:
  • Two types of sync are available: one-way or two-way sync. Note that the records created within Zoho CRM are considered the Master records, and these will be populated within Desk. 
  • Products can be associated with departments, and users can choose which department they wish to sync.
  • The Product Sync is independent of the Accounts and Contacts Sync. You can choose to enable both, neither, or either one without affecting the other.  
To learn more about enabling this sync please refer to the section titled 'Step 3 - Syncing Products' in this help article
 
Some of you have asked for this enhancement specifically; we hope it helps. And to everyone else, try it out! 
 
Happy ticketing!
 
Cheers,
Team Zoho Desk

You may think this "SYNC" between Desk and CRM is wonderfull, well, maybe for must companies. For us it's been a nightmare. We use Desk for internal support and for some reason the Desk - CRM integration enables itsefl importing thousands of contacts we never need. We have disabled this integration about 10 times and it somehow comes back enabled after a few hours. Why is that? I looked for the SYNC setup in CRM and there is nothing, the setup is in Desk where comes back enabled again and again and again.... how can we disable it forever?

Hi Juan,

Could you please let us know the name of your portal to check this further? We checked the portal 'viventa' but the sync was not enabled there. If it is the same portal, it should be a display issue with the UI and we shall setup a remote session to resolve it.

Look forward to your response.

Please make the notification for temporary and allow the user to close it by clicking on X sign
or make it available only for the Admin user

@Ghazanfer,

Closing the 'X' symbol, should already close the banner. This action is agent specific. At the moment we cannot restrict it to the admin alone.

Can you create the sync for Potentials module?

Hi Dan

Im afraid potentials cannot be synced with Desk at this point of time. We will look into the feasibility of including such an option in the future based on similar requests we receive. For now, you can check the details of the potential from the related module in the tickets details view.

Hi,
Sync history is showing that there are products being synced & updated, however none appear under the General->Products section, or are selectable from within a support ticket.

Hi Caleb,

The products that come from CRM will have the owner set as Desk's primary contact and this primary contact must have access to all department which is configured for products sync. In this case the primary contact "r**e@coolgear.com" does not have permission to access the departments below. Please ask the primary contact to enable these departments and then try the sync.

Compliance, Technical Support, Chat Support 

As soon as the primary contact enables access to the departments mentioned above, all new products getting created in CRM/Desk will be in sync. 

For older records that were created in CRM to be imported in Desk, we need to get that done from our end. We can get this done in a week with the help of our developers. 



Thank you. When I added our primary account owner to all departments new products started appearing in Desk when edited in CRM.

Zoho Desk Team,
To date we have been manually creating Products in Zoho Desk to match our Products in Zoho CRM. If we turn on this sync now, what result will we see? For example, will Zoho CRM sync over a whole new set of products - so that I will now have 2 of each product with the same name? One from the one I manually created and one from the sync? Will I be able to merge the duplicate name products?

We have been wanting a product sync from CRM, but I need to understand the impact before turning it on.

Thanks

Hi Renu,

If you have already created the same set of products in CRM and Desk, there would be no duplicates created after you turn on the sync.

After turning on the sync, if you create a duplicate of a Product in CRM, the duplicate will also be created in Desk. But if you create a duplicate in Desk after turning the sync on, the same will not be created in CRM.(CRM is considered as the master).

Prash, you said "If you have already created the same set of products in CRM and Desk, there would be no duplicates created after you turn on the sync. "
What is considered the same product? Does it just do a match on Product Name?

Yes Renu,

Duplicate check is done with respect to Product Name.

Hi,

Is it possible to sync crm customer products with Desk Customer products ?

Hello Atakan,

The product sync is independent of accounts/contacts sync and is not possible to sync the association between products and customers from Zoho CRM to Zoho Desk at the moment.


Regards,
Ajith | Zoho Desk

Is it possible to synchronize the relation between Accounts & Products from Zoho CRM to Accounts & Products to Zoho Desk? It seems like we have to do the same in Desk as we did in CRM. And we have 50 products and 250 customers..

Hello
, current integration doesn't support Accounts - Products mapping sync from Zoho CRM to Zoho Desk. 

Regards,
Ajith | Zoho Desk.
