Set up sync with Bigin - Online Help | Zoho Campaigns

Set up sync with Bigin - New Version

There are two types of sync between Bigin and Zoho Campaigns that you can set up.
  1. Immediate Sync : After you setup and initiate an immediate sync, any new record that is added in Bigin will be automatically updated in Campaigns. Your records will be up-to-date without any lag. Using immediate sync, you can only sync records from your Contacts module in Bigin.
  2. Periodic Sync : Set up this sync to schedule periodic syncing of all your records between Bigin and Campaigns on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Using periodic sync, you can import records from the ContactsCompanies, and Deals module in Bigin.
We have recently updated to a new Bigin integration model in Zoho Campaigns. Please view the updated help document, if you've migrated to the latest integration model.
