Custom Side by Side View by Of Calendar and Activity List?
Hello, There have been many requests in this form over the years for the ability to see tasks on the calendar based on their due date. Since this is not currently possible, is there any way to create a web tab (or otherwise) where users could at least see the calendar and tasks side by side (or above and below) in one window? I would like to be able to have an integrated view where I can see my calendar and activity list at the same time. I've also looked at using a dashboard but there does not appear
Pulling information from Contact to Deals
I have set up Contacts and Deals. On Deals I have a field where I can type in the contacts name and it will pull that through. However, I also have things like Date of Birth on Contacts that I want to pull through from Contact when I put in the customers name.

How to automate a reply to an email
When we have a lead, we send out an email (using email template A) to that lead, which has an explanation of our company and our services ,etc. Two weeks later, if the lead has not responded to email, we reply to the original email (template A) and use Template B, which says, "I sent you the below email 2 weeks ago and you did not respond. Are you still interested"? Is it possible to automate the sending of Template B by replying to Template A? I know I can create an automation workflow in which
Unique field Account Name RULE IGNORED ON SYNC in Accounts - ZOHO CREATES DUPLICATE ACCOUNTS WHEN SYNCING !!!! (THIS IS NOT ANSWERED) !!!!
When adding a company in Accounts, I have the field Account Name set to be unique. When you manually enter a company and if the Account Name is the same as an existing Account Name, the system will let you know that you cannot enter a duplicate value for Account Name, which is the expected behavior. I am finding though that the Account Name (Lookup Field) in Contacts does not obery this unique valve rule. So when I use a PieSync integration and sync contacts that have an associated Account Name

Deals: Contact Roles and email
Hello, So i have some deals set up and I have added my "contact roles" so that my deals have multiple contacts. But when I try to add an email to that deal, i still only get the option to add 1 person's email? I thought the point of the "contact roles" was to be able to contact more than one person at a time? Thanks, Heather EDIT: Zoho Developers - please make this so we can email all the "contact roles" from the deal!

Collect data, external
Hello community, I have the following request. We are now working with Zoho CRM Plus and would like to do the following. We have created a user-defined module in CRMPlus, in which we record our mail pieces. I have an employee who is only there to record mail pieces. I don't want to give her expensive CRM access for this work. My question: How can I collect data externally in ZohoCRM. There is a catch. For a field you have to assign an entry from the user-defined module. It is like having to assign

Standard Links & Attachments
I feel like I must be missing this, but we use a small handful of links and attachments (from Workdrive) in our sales process. So I'm often sending an email from with CRM and have to hit the attachment button and go find the file in Workdrive or manually copy and paste link. Is there a way to have these commonly used sales collateral pieces be somewhere easily accessible from within the email composition screen? I thought I remembered seeing something like this early on, but now I can't find it.
Importing 25,000 Records with a 1,000 Batch Limit
I understand there is a 1,000 row limit for record import on the "free" pricing structure. I have approx 25k records and was curious if anyone could suggest an easy way to import them all? I would rather not manually cut up the csv 1,000 records/rows at a time, create 25 separate csv files as it could get messy and time consuming. Thanks in advance. Ramzy

Unable to connect PhoneBridge app to Grandstream UCM (asterisk)
I've followed the steps as instructed by grandstream's guide: http://www.grandstream.com/sites/default/files/Resources/ZOHO_CRM_Integration_Guide.pdf This works OK for inbound calls. So far we've confirmed it's making new contacts in ZCRM for inbound calls, but it isn't using the CallID, just the phone number. It's clunky, but we can live with it for now. What I can't get working is the OUTBOUND using the phonebridge app. I've set it up on a testing VM (my W10 workstation w/ linux subsystem enabled).
Format Phone Numbers
Hello, Is it possible to setup a rule of some sort to cleanse/format phone numbers to be in the same format? Our CRM uses Phone as the primary key. But leads imported from Facebook generally come imported with a "+1" prefix. I'd like to find a way to automatically delete the +1 on all incoming leads.
Attachment picklist for type?
Hello! Part of my sales process involves a number of specific documents that need to be uploaded and reviewed. Attachments are no problem but is there a way to have the user require a picklist selection that I can populate with the type of document? For example, application form, proof of address, etc?

Converting an Opportunity into a Contract (2 different modules)
Hello, My company sells hardware and services (sometimes only new hardware, not necessarily associated with incremental service revenue). I would like to have a second module where I could manage my secured contracts for one existing account. The scenario: 1 - Opportunity is created in Zoho and after customer evaluation the deal is closed (opportunity won); 2 - Sales Manager move the opportunity to "closed as Won" and automatically the Zoho CRM create (or not for the cases it`s just a hardware sale)
CRM Contacts & Outlook

Our Zoho CRM Contacts doesn't have a "company" field and it would be helpful to have that information transfer to the "company" field in Outlook.

We would like to allow us to use our CRM by creating a new user but we doesn't want them to see our contacts/leads/campaigns/tickets but only their.

Mass Email limits
Hi there, As we all know the limit for mass emailing from CRM is 250 per day per user. Not a lot, but fair enough. Lets assume that i have used 235 of my daily limit of 250. I then "check" 50 of my contacts and send them a mass email. According to what i can see the following is then happening: - Zoho sends this email to 15 of the contacts (250 minus 235) but does not send the remaining emails. If that is correct it is a terrible solution, since there is no way (other than to check manually check)
CRM - Displaying Date Fields
In CRM, I have date format in my setting as DD/MM/YYYY. When I am editing a record, or even just a date field, it allows me to input the date in my chosen format. Once it is saved, it changes the format and displays it as D MMM, YYYY (e.g. 9 Apr, 2020) instead. Is there a way to change the display to my chosen date format? Also, is there a way to default all users to a specific date format?

Search not working for certain users and certain terms
Some users have let me know that the search function is not working as expected, they get taken to a page that tells them that the 'Page cannot be accessed' and to contact the administrator. I did notice that the URL doesn't have the query string that usually gets appended when searching for something, but when they manually add something like `/crm/org[organisation_id]/search?=plants` to the URL, it redirects them to just `/crm/org[organisation_id]/search`, which provides them the 'Page cannot be

We recently upgraded to Outlook 2016. One of our users is reporting that the performance of his laptop is really "bogged down" when he's signed in to the plug-in.

Having a problem with a critically important Workflow Rule suddenly not working - anyone else?
This seems like a bug in the CRM. Luckily a sales rep alerted us to it very quickly. Basically a workflow rule that was set up to trigger on creation of a client meeting (with no conditions) suddenly stopped working for the last 5 meetings created. We were able to reproduce this bug initially. Turning the workflow rule off and then back on fixed it, but it's extremely worrying that this happened in the first place!! I tried opening the workflow rule to debug it further but I was again met with

We have some pretty big customers that want to have access to this area and we do not want to spend the money for the portal access to accounts.

Timesheets from Deals
Hi Guys, new Zoho One customer here with only a few employees. I run a small software company and currently our small number of employees are creating manual timesheets in excel. There is a column for a job number (that relates to a Zoho Deal) and they just put in the time taken to perform the work.
