Installing Zoho Contracts Extension in Zoho CRM

Installing Zoho Contracts Extension in Zoho CRM

Overview  

The Zoho CRM integration with Zoho Contracts enables your sales team to close more deals faster by significantly reducing contract cycle times.

With this integration, salespeople can initiate new contract requests directly from a deal or potential record in Zoho CRM and track the contract's status from the Zoho Contracts section in the record's related list. They can also download the contract document or send it to the associated account as an email attachment in Zoho CRM.
