CRM accounts lost now?
Hi! I was testing this out a year or two ago (free version to start) and am now circling back on this project and jumped back into zoho to see the accounts again but all of them are now gone? I went to the CRM and Accounts section and I see it says "your Zoho CRM migration is in progress" which makes me feel like it is importing it, but been on that screen a long time and no accounts appear to be importing. Are all of my accounts and notes i put in previously (year or two ago) now lost forever? OR

Question concerning Leads, Accounts and Contacts
We're a B2B COTS sales and support company, we've had one shot at setting up Zoho to meet our needs and now I'm looking at how we can make better use of the application. The questions are: Q1. I have situations where a Lead has multiple contacts when selling at various levels in the organisation. It seems that I need to setup a separate Lead for each individual. Is there a way of connecting multiple Leads in one organisation? Do I use Account? My interpretation of Account is what happens when a Lead
Xero Integration
CloudPerfect have created a Zoho CRM - Xero Integration sync tool that enables you to seamlessly sync your contacts / invoices into Xero.

In addition to this we sync across the Xero invoice status - paid / overdue

Can't import lookup field with csv
I've set up a new module ("Public Events"), and i'm trying to import a list of these events with a csv I have. All other fields work, but I'm trying to connect each event to an existing account using a lookup field. The problem is the field always comes back blank after the import. Am I missing something to do with lookup fields when mapping it with the csv?

Hi folks, We are back with a quick tip about executing Workflow rules based on lead scores. If you think you missed any of our previous weeks' tips, you can read them here. Tip #37 - Leave no stone unturned. If you are already using scoring rules to score leads and prioritize them, chaces are more that you give top priority to the leads with good scores. Leads with less scores get the least attention. But what if some of these leads that you thought were less valuable are slowly picking up? What

Duplicate Invites
Our users integrate their Zoho and Office 365 calendars/events. When they create a New Event (either from the Contacts page side in Zoho or through a calendar invite in Office 365), the system(s) will send at least TWO invitations out. So our customers will get 2 emails with 2 invites, each formatted slightly different but with the same general information. Obviously no one would want to send MULTIPLE DUPLICATE invites to a customer so something must be setup wrong somewhere. Is there a setting in
Best practices around email
Hi there. Prior to Zoho CRM I used a program that allowed me to be notified if an email was NOT responded to. I could set it between 2 and 7 days. If the recipient did not open the email, then a reminder was put on my dashboard. This saved me a lot of time, more importantly, I was able to stay on top of following up on emails sent out and very little fell through the cracks. I don't see the feature in ZohoCRM, but I am curious what others are managing this. I

Workflow Automation
Dear all, please do not use Zoho CRM software its not user friendly I have been using since last 2 months and its very complicated you have to be expert to understand its functions and manage it. There is no support from Zoho team to help you to manage and configure it as per your requirement. I have created clients records and wanted to schedule email notification to some specific client on their license expiry date but it doesn't work. I tried to reach the support team but no response I am loosing
Workflow Rule for Tasks
Within our tasks module we have three different categories for 'Status', one of which is 'deferred'. I'm trying to create a workflow rule so that when the user selects 'deferred' it will automatically push the due date back by 5 days or so. I've set it up so the execution of the workflow occurs when the user inputs 'deferred' into 'status' - I've put an instant action in as a field update - tasks >>>>> update >>>>> Due Date = execution + 5 days, however it isn't have the desired effect - any help?
Update
Hi. One thing I want to say is I would appreciate something going out when there has been an update of some sort. Today I have noticed a couple of new additions in CRM, one being new filter options (Touched & Untouched) but there is also a new option in the module builder called "User 1" - what is this exactly? Is this so another user can be related to other accounts/contacts/leads so in effect so you have multiple owners? And is there going to ever be an update where a contact can be related to

We are a small company B2C that conciders Zoho CRM. It needs to be scaled down to be useful. We are intending to import the customer data we have into contacts, i.e from old customers, we have a high level of repeat business. A couple of questions: 1. If we recevie a call we dont know if it's a new or an existing customer (we would look into integrate the phone sysetm at one point). The obvious is to start entering the call into a lead but I find no way how to recognize the customer if it exists

[Zoho crm. Custom function]
My custom function uses postUrl() function for integration with another service. Whenever retrieved responseStatus of the call is 500 ( ( response.get("responseStatus") == 500 ) ) the custom function execution should be marked as failure - so later I can track 'failed' calls. Is there any way to explicitly throw errors/exceptions in custom functions? Or any other suggested solutions, please? Thanks. Anton

Workflow rule not executing on imported records

Copying a value from one module to another automatically
Scenario: Invoice module has an "Implementation Engineer" value with a list of names. When one is selected, a number of tasks and emails go out. What I'd like is to also take that value and apply it into the Account module associated with the invoice, which will then fire off a number of actions I have configured there. I'm pretty sure I can do this with a custom function, but no idea where to begin.
Range of Numbers
Hello, Is there a field, that I can enter something like 421-429 or 421,424,429 and have Zoho understand that I am interested in the range of numbers? Thank you

GoToWebinar Integration
Has anyone else tried the new GoToWebinar Integration (not GoToMeeting)? It seems to me pulling information in correctly but categorizing it incorrectly.

CRM Hacks #30: How to send a personalized email from a Sales order and store them under it?
Hello everyone, There is an out-of-the-box email option in Sales Order module of Zoho CRM. This lets you send a copy of Sales Order to your client directly from the Sales Order record. Emails sent using this option gets listed as a related record under the Emails section. A need to send a different email to the client regarding the same sales order cannot be ruled out. What if there is a delay from the client's side in accepting the sales order and you want to follow-up on the same? At this stage,
Product Categories and Discounts
I'm a new test user with Zoho and am a bit shocked at how bad the quoting module is. You need to provide an easy way for a sales person making quotes for customers to be able to set discounts in multiple ways within the quoting system. I think most companies have at least two categories of things that they sell and that they want to discount differently on every quote. For example, products and pro services. At the quote level, I need a field for the discount to use for category 1, category
CRM - IMAP Solution for Outlook 365
it would be great if Zoho can make an improvement to their IMAP Outlook 365 solution whereby, when a user's outlook account is deleted, the emails that were synced from that account to CRM, are stored in the CRM system and not deleted. Thank you

Function-30: Keep track of your business details with a Company or a Contact.
Welcome back everyone! Recently we had made an announcement regarding the renaming of Custom Functions to Functions. Check this link to know the implications regarding the change. Last week, we learnt how to create Purchase Orders for Individual Products instead of a Contact or Account, from a Sales Order. This week, let's look at a custom function that lets you update your Account and Contact records on the products involved in the transaction, for each related Invoice generated. Business scenario:
Tagging accounts, contacts, and leads in notes
Hello hello - When a contact moves to a different company I write down where they previously were in the notes. If I could tag other contacts or companies in the notes then that contact would show up in notes on that company or contact's notes. E.g. Amy previously worked at [@Amazon] from 2010 - 2016 This way this note would show up in Amazon's account and if we were looking for Amy in Amazon's account we could see that she moved to a different company. I know we can already do this for users but
