Updated values imported from CSV not visible in Timeline?
Hello, When importing a CSV file to update a current record, changes that are applied do not appear in the Timeline. Is there a way to make the changes show in the Timeline? For example, you have an account called XYZ, which was originally named ABC. I'd import the account with name ABC first, and then import a second file with the current name. The name shows XYZ after the second import so the account was updated, but there is no record of the field change from ABC to XYZ. I don't care that the
Quickest way to record payments
Background - We have just started using trialling Zoho CRM. We are a language school with 12 branches. Each school has over 250 students who pay each month for lessons. Currently there is no automated systems for recording payments (this will hopefully change in the future). Previously using Excel we could quickly go through the bank statement and note down payments at the end of the month. We would like to be able to track payments in Zoho so we have am idea of customer value. Recording a deal
Can I get the weekday from a date in an email template
Hi. I've created an email template associated with Deals, and I can use it to get information from the Deals module for example. I would like to get the weekday for a date variable. So, for example I have a variable ${Deals.Workshop Start Date}, and I would like to get the weekday for that date, so that the email will say, for example 'Looking forward to meeting you at the workshop on Thursday'. How could I achieve that? Is there a global function I can access from within the email, or could I create

How to associate a task with a deal using a workflow rule?
Hello, Background When a deal is created I send an automated welcome e-mail to the contact. When the contact replies, the e-mail is correctly (and automatically) associated with the deal. Now I want to create task for each reply, because the reply may be not noticed. Do you think this is the right thing to do? Or is the message notification on the top right of the navigation bar sufficient, to make the user aware of a reply? Create task from inbound e-mail and associate it the deal When there is

Showing only the newest stage history in a report
I'm trying to incorporate stage history in reports and it's surprisingly difficult. 1. Adding the Stage History table appears to do a join on that table and Potentials, which makes sense. How do I get Zoho to show only the rows where the Stage modified time is newest for each Potential? I don't want ALL the history, just the most recent. In the report I want to show the current stage and when it was last assigned that stage. 2. Why does the "Stage (Stage History)" criteria option force me to type

Accidentally deleted sync account
Hello, We accidentally deleted the user account that was used to generate the Zoho Services Communication key for syncing between desk and CRM. When we try to delete the sync integration to build a new one with a new ZSC key, it tells us we need to enter a valid ZSC key, but the person who generated that key is no longer with the company and his account has been deleted from Zoho. Any idea how to fix?

The most efficient way to map options from options fields from ZForms to CRM
Dear All, I have made two forms in two different languages and I have integrated them with the CRM by mapping fields. So far, so good. The problem I am facing is that the form is adding the information to the record as it is and I can not find a way to map the sub-field options in the field. This is creating duplicate and tripled values becasue the option on the form is not exactly the same as the options in the CRM. The reasons to this are: language and that in the form is more detailed the option;

Copy Account to Contact information
I'm an ACT! user evaluating ZoHo. One of the things ACT! does is allow you to either create a Contact *from* a Company (Account in ZoHo), which creates a new Contact record with most of the common fields populated *from* the Company record - like address, phone, etc - and all you have to do is fill in the Contact name and email. Or, if you create a Contact first, you can create a Company (i.e. Account) record from that contact, and it will *take* the Company name, address, phone, etc and create
Delete all Leads/Accounts/Contacts??
I've uploaded about 30,000 contacts and leads to Zoho CRM. I just realized I upload lists that I haven't de-duplicated yet. How can I completely remove all the data I've uploaded? If I used mass delete I can only delete 100 contacts per page, this would take forever.... is there a faster way? Or is there way to de-dupe accounts/leads in the CRM itself?
Different email notifications to send based on same blueprint/transition
Have a question related to blueprints, transitions and workflows. I am trying to create a blueprint to manage the leads generated in CRM from chats missed in Zoho SalesIQ. The automatically missed chat lead is created with the country field filled based on the visitor's IP address. If we miss a chat overnight, we have a list in CRM with all of them and we have a blueprint to follow up with that person. See below: Now, I know I cannot have more than one transition to the same stage. Also found out

Mass Email Statistics NOT updating (Opened/Clicked/Bounced)
Hello Zoho, A crucial component of our Zoho CRM use is viewing analytics on mass emails sent out and triggers are not updating correctly. We are not seeing email triggers updating under statistics. 1.) E-mail opened is not accurate (we test with same email domain and stays as unopened) 2.) We have a proper hyperlink to our website in the template and we open the link and no update to "clicked" 3.) We have a trigger for bounced emails, this also does not update It makes me believe it is from Zoho's
Custom views within modules
Sometimes, users don't need complete visibility into all of the sections within a module. I'd like the ability for a user to choose what the see by hiding sections just for them.
Add Task, friendlier form with all fields
Adding a task is weird. The description is under other fields. Like many forms, all the fields would fit on the form. Why so many clicks to get around? It is so bad, it is easier to add with one field, save, then edit. Edit has a better layout and we use it to add, but that should not be the case. We schedule all tasks and give all a description but this is a lot of work.
What is the best way to manage leads from the same company?
We gather multiple leads from the same company and send them prospecting emails and calls. We track the emails and calls through Zoho. When one replies either with some or no interest what should we do with the other leads to note this? Situation 1: Lead from ABC Company replies with interest. We convert Lead to Contact and create deal. As of this moment all the other leads are still technically in the pipeline to contact. Possible Problem: We don't want to keep attempting to email/call the
I would like to be aware of the status of task allocated to staff- but I am in the dark
Its all very well allocating tasks to staff, but thats the last you hear about it. What would be good is if, when the staff member completes the task, we get a message: task A has been completed by staff member B. or, even better, Task C (name of task) allocated to staff D is overdue Can this be done?
Records per page and browsing suggestion/need
Hi, just hoping to see this implemented soon. I'd like the ability to view more than 100 records per page. Preferably 1,000 or more. Also, see the attached screenshot. The button to scroll over to the next set of records is located at the bottom of the page. Move this to the top of the page as well so you don't have to scroll down to the bottom of the page just to go to the next page of records. (and make it where you can go to the last page of records immediately as well). Thanks, you guys have
Custom Formula Field to Capture First Save Date
I'm trying to determine how to get the date that a Potential/Deal was first saved in a given Stage. I had thought to create a separate formula field to capture the Stage that the Potential/Deal was last saved with, but I can't reference formula fields in formula fields. I'm trying to do something like this If ( OriginalStage != Stage && Stage = "Closed - Quote Submitted" ) FirstSaved = Now Else FirstSaved = FirstSaved Is this sort of thing possible?
