Idle Deal Alert

The Idle Deal Alert extension for Zoho CRM helps you identify deals that have been stuck in a particular pipeline stage for too long.

This extension sends you an alert any time a deal is stuck in the pipeline for too long, allowing you to address a deal before your window of opportunity closes.
