Syncing Zoho CRM events with Zoho Calendar

Zoho CRM Sync

The Zoho CRM application is a business suite that helps tap the right customers and engage them, maximize sales, increase conversions and much more that is required to upscale a business. Zoho CRM consists of a set of in-built features that are standard for business which also includes the CRM calendar. Using the CRM calendar, you can manage your business schedule by setting up calls and meetings.

Zoho Calendar provides you with an option to sync your Zoho CRM calendar. Using this two-way sync feature, you can schedule meetings/ events in the Zoho CRM calendar from the calendar grid of Zoho Calendar.

Setting up Zoho CRM sync

The two-way sync between Zoho Calendar and Zoho CRM uses a secure authentication token to communicate between the applications when the sync begins. If you are looking to sync your Zoho CRM calendar with Zoho Calendar, you need to make sure your CRM org admin has initiated the Calendar-CRM sync from his/her end. Once the admin has initiated the sync, you will be able to sync your Zoho CRM calendar with your Zoho Calendar.
