Step 1: Enable/Disable your CRM Calendar 

You can enable/disable your Zoho CRM Calendar here. Read How to Connect your Calendar to learn how to add your appointments to Zoho CRM Calendar.



Step 2: Configure Field Mapping 

When a customer books an appointment, they provide information such as their name, email, phone number, and other details. These details can be pushed to your CRM. In this section, you can map those Booking fields to Zoho CRM fields.

 

Please note that default fields (name, email, phone number) can be mapped to any module. Service-specific fields (custom fields) can only be mapped to the Meetings module.

 

Refer to the field type below for mapping

 

Bookings field type

CRM field type

SingleLine, MultiLine

Single line, Multi-line

Email

Email

Dropdown

Picklist

Date

Date

Checkbox

Multi-select

Radio button

Step 2a: Bookings default fields mapping 

You can map the default fields in Bookings (name, email and phone number) to any CRM Module. To map default fields:

  1. Under Bookings default fields mapping section, choose the CRM module to which the customer details needs to be added. Custom modules can also be chosen here.



  2. Select the corresponding CRM field for the Bookings field.



    A note on the Name field mapping

    You have the option to map the name field in CRM either as a single name or split it into first name and last name.

    • If you want to push the name as a single entity, choose the "Name" radio button displayed in the image above.

    • If you prefer to push the name as first name and last name, select the "First Name, Last Name" radio button shown in the image below.

    Afterwards, choose the corresponding CRM field name from the dropdown menu.



    If you get the below error message, then you have not mapped a mandatory field that is present in the chosen CRM module. Please map it or remove the
    mandatory condition from your CRM. Note that only three fields can be mandatory in the selected CRM module.

     

    If you get the below error message, then please map all the three fields.



Step 2b: Custom field mapping

In Bookings, you may have added custom fields to certain services. Those custom fields can be mapped to the Meetings module in Zoho CRM. Before mapping, please create corresponding fields in Meetings module.

  1. To map custom fields: Under the Custom field mapping section, choose a service from the dropdown next to Select Service to map the custom fields. 



  2. Custom fields added for the selected service will be listed. Select the field in the Meetings module from the right dropdown. Changes are auto-saved


 Step 3: Booking page selection for plugin 

 

Choose which booking page is to be opened when New Appointment is clicked in Zoho CRM Leads or Contacts module. You can choose any workspace, service, or staff booking page here.

 

Once configured, you can start scheduling bookings from within your Zoho CRM account.
