Use cases

1. I have a Zoho Analytics query table, can I sync it with a Zoho Campaigns mailing list?

Yes, you can sync a Zoho Analytics query table with your Zoho Campaigns mailing list. Query tables contain data filtered from multiple Zoho Analytics tables based on a Select query. You can import query tables data as contacts into a mailing list.
For example, you have a query table containing details of customers who have purchased your products stored in the tables Sales-2017 and Sales-2018. You can import these customers into a mailing list called "Purchased" in your Campaigns account and use this list to send them newsletters related to product updates.


2. I want to sync contacts who attended the most recent event from a Zoho Analytics table into a mailing list in Zoho Campaigns. How can I do this?

You can add criteria while creating the sync. In the Sync Details page, choose Criteria in the Sync field and add the following criteria:
Events Involved contains Event_Name
Now, only contacts match the above criteria will be synced to your mailing list.


Step 2: Map Your Fields

You can map fields of the table with your Campaign fields, choose a Analytics field and map it with the corresponding Campaign field. Mapping the email address field is mandatory. However, you can add custom fields from your table by checking the New Field option. You can edit or delete a mapped field by clicking the respective icon displayed beside the mapped field.

Use cases

I want to map the Product Category field from a table in Zoho Analytics. I cannot find it under the pre-mapped fields, how can I map it?

You can use the Map more option in the Mapping fields step during sync. Product category is not a default field in Campaigns, so you will need to add a custom field for it. You can do this from the Mapping fields page during Zoho Analytics sync.

  1. From the Navigation toolbar, select Contacts and then Sync Services .
  2. Navigate to Map Your Fields page and click Map more .
  3. Select the required field from Zoho Analytics fields and check the New Field checkbox above Select Campaign Field dropdown.
  4. A custom field is created and data is imported into that field.

Step 3: Configure sync

  1. Select a sync frequency:
    • Retrieve Data: It is for a one time import.
    • Sync Frequency: Set the import frequency to recur on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
  2. Select the data to be retrieved:
    • All data: Imports all contacts' data from the table.
    • After: Imports only those contacts' data that have been added/modified after the specified date and time.
  3. Click Initiate. retrieval data


Note

  • Once you set the option for import (All Contacts/Criteria), you will not be able to edit the preferences. To use different criteria, create a new sync.
  • To enable sync frequency option, there should be atleast one calander field in your table.
