Migrate from Zoho ContactManager

Migrate from Zoho ContactManager

Zoho ContactManager has information about the Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tasks which are helpful in managing your business. When you decide to move to Bigin, instead of exporting the information individually you can simply choose to Migrate the complete data from ContactManager to Bigin with a single click. 
 
Migrating from ContactManager to Bigin is possible only if you have subscribed the Bigin account with the same email address as that of the ContactManager. If an organization has multiple portals in ContactManager, the appropriate portal can be selected from which you want to migrate to Bigin. Only one portal can be selected at a time.
