Weekly Tips: Stay on Top of Work with Zoho Mail Streams

You’re working on a big project, and all the updates from your team keep coming in from different angles. Some are sharing updates, others are asking questions, and you are constantly getting your inbox piled up with new information on the same project. Before you know it, you are buried under a mountain of emails and conversation threads, and it becomes increasingly difficult to stay organized. So, how can you keep everything in one place and make sure no important detail slips through?

With Zoho Mail Streams, you can organize all your conversations into clean, threaded discussions.

Zoho Mail Streams

Just like how you chat and share updates with friends on social media, Zoho Mail Streams allows you to have conversations in a simple, organized thread. Think of it like a group chat for work, where you can respond to specific comments, tag colleagues to keep them in the loop, and follow discussions without losing track of what’s important. Just like social media platforms, you can scroll through conversations, react to updates, and keep the focus on what matters most—without losing track of important details.

How Streams works:

Streams enables social media style interaction within teams/ groups facilitated by likes and comments for different entities, which can be shared with groups or individuals.

  • Status Messages
  • Events
  • Tasks
  • Notes 
  • Emails
  • Bookmarks
A moderator or an Administrator can enable Streams for the group. Once the group is 'Streamified', all the members can view it under the Streams Groups listing on the left pane. Once enabled, the members can start posting messages to the groups. The users can also add posts directly to individual members' walls. Group Streams will have the activities and shares in Streams for the particular group. Any individual posts or shares will be available in the 'My Streams' area of the Home.

No more endless back-and-forth emails, just streamlined collaboration like you are used to on your favourite social media platforms.

To give you a background, these leads were uploaded or Imported at once but the lead status record was incorrectly chosen. So since there was a way to quickly add records in the system no matter how many they are, we are also wondering if there is a quicker way to update these records to the correct "Lead Status". I hope our concern makes sense and that there will be a fix for it. All the best, Jonathan
