How do I save the attachment from an email to a CRM Record?

Emails from customers or colleagues may include attachments that you want to save in the CRM record for quick access. Instead of downloading and manually attaching the files, you can use the Add to Attachments Related List option. This allows other team members with access to the record to easily refer to the attachments without sifting through email threads.

Any image, document, or file attached to an email can be directly added to the attachments section in the record's related list.


What will happen if I change the email address of a Lead or Contact in CRM?

If you change the email address of a Lead or Contact in the CRM, previously fetched emails associated with the old email address will no longer be available in the CRM, except for emails sent directly from within the CRM. All the emails sent to the updated email address will be fetched moving forward. Additionally, if the user has set custom record-level sharing for their emails and has previously shared the emails of the lead or record, it will be disabled upon changing the email address. You will need to re-enable the email sharing option for that specific lead or contact.

Can I receive CC and BCC emails from my leads and contacts?  

Yes, you can receive CC and BCC emails from your leads and contacts in CRM.

How can I track email opens and clicks in Zoho CRM?  

To track opens and clicks for emails sent from the CRM, you need to enable Email Insights in Zoho CRM. Once enabled, when the emails are sent from CRM,you'll be able to see when an email was opened, if any links were clicked, and whether the recipient replied. This information is available in the Email related list in the record detail pages of the Contact, leads, accounts, or deals module.

How do email templates work in Zoho CRM?

Can I set up workflows to automate emails in Zoho CRM?

To set this up, go to Setup > Automation > Workflow Rules and configure the criteria and email actions.

How can I view all the emails exchanged with a particular contact or deal?  

In Zoho CRM, you can view all email exchanges with a particular contact or deal by visiting the Emails related list in the corresponding record detail page. Here, you’ll see the history of all sent, received, and scheduled emails linked to that record. You can see the email correspondence for leads, deals, contacts, accounts, and cases modules.

Once you configure your mailbox with CRM, SalesInbox will be enabled, which is an email client tailored for sales professionals that integrates seamlessly with Zoho CRM. It provides a consolidated view of your sales communications by organizing emails based on CRM data. This integration helps you prioritize and manage customer interactions more effectively within a single platform.

Is it possible to schedule emails in Zoho CRM?   

Sending and following up on emails is an important part of all our jobs. However, each of us prefers to do it at a different time of the day. While some people check and respond to emails as soon as they get to work, some keep it for after lunch, and some even do it while they commute to work. There's never a single best time to get attention for all your emails. It's also impossible to wait and send each email based on the best time to get it noticed.

Email scheduling comes in handy here. Simply specify when you want your emails  to be sent, and the system will take care of sending them at the right time.

Moreover, the best part with email scheduling is that you can choose from one of the following options:
  1. Best time to email - as suggested by CRM.
  2. Pre-defined options for scheduling (Today, Tomorrow).
  3. Custom scheduling.

No, you cannot associate an email with multiple records in Zoho CRM. However, while viewing the email, you can choose the option to associate it with two entities like related contact and deals association when sent from deals module or linking to deal from the contacts module if it is associated. However, only two entities can be linked with an email in Zoho CRM.
