This week, let's look at a custom function that lets you close all of the tasks associated with a lead while simultaneously creating a new task, like when you need to halt all progress towards a lead while the lead is not available at the moment but create a reminder task.

What sets you apart as a sales person is your ability to add that personal touch to your business relationship with your customers. Sending a gift on a special day, or leaving a note wishing them on their birthdays, are small, yet significant actions that show your customers that you care. And these are actions done without any expectations :) You must be engaging with a lot of customers and it is highly unlikely that they all are your friends on Facebook or some social channel,

                                                                                                              Hi, I am not receiving any emails, I have tried to send myself an email from another acct and I am not receiving anything, possibly for the last few days. Bit desperate as we are a nursery and not getting important emails from our parents.

                                                                                                              Hi everyone, A May-zing month for you! As summer rolls in and event season picks up the pace, we’ve been working on a set of updates in Zoho Backstage to help make your day-to-day life a little easier. This month’s improvements are all about tackling
                                                                                                            • Integrate Zia AI into Zobot with Support for Hebrew and Bot Context

                                                                                                              Dear Zoho SalesIQ Team, Greetings. We would like to submit a feature request that would significantly enhance the functionality and intelligence of Zobot: native integration of Zia AI into Zobot scripts and blocks—with full support for Hebrew language
                                                                                                            • Mail Merge: Need Transparent Background for Signatures

                                                                                                              I'm using ZohoCRM and Zoho sign to send documents to customers to sign. We use zohoCRM's "Mail merge" option to create the templates. The problem is that those "Signature" fields have a solid white background so it looks like a stamp on the page instead
                                                                                                            • Zoho Flows

                                                                                                              Basically I can't build a connection that works between Excel on OneDrive and Zoho. I wanted to have 1 flow checking on a row added to an excel file and then intiate an import of that row. I'm doing that manually now and thought that this could be automated.
