Integrate Zoho Desk with Bigin

When you integrate Zoho Desk with Bigin, you can opt for two different ways in which you can enable the data-sync between the two. This allows the Contacts and Companies from Bigin to be in sync with the Contacts and Companies (Accounts) in Zoho Desk. Also, if they have a support ticket, it will be associated with the appropriate record and can be viewed from the record details page.
  1. Two way sync
    The contacts/companies created in Bigin will be synchronized in Zoho Desk and vice versa. After the sync, if the any updates made to the contacts or companies will be captured. 
  2. One way sync
    The contacts/companies created in Bigin will be pushed to Zoho Desk and not the vice versa. Further any updates made to the contacts or companies will be captured. 
  3. No sync
    The contacts or companies created from Bigin will not be synced with Zoho Desk. But, if the same contact or company is present in both the platforms (Bigin and Zoho Desk) and if they have raised any support tickets, then it can be viewed in the record details page.
When any one type of sync is enabled, you have to map the fields in Bigin with the fields in Zoho Desk. This helps you capture the relevant data between the two.
