  • Add Emails to Deals in Zoho CRM

Synchronize Contacts, Tasks and Calendar

The synchronize option pushes Contacts, Tasks, Calendar events from Microsoft Outlook to Zoho CRM and vice versa. It helps to keep your data updated in both Zoho CRM and Microsoft Outlook and you can avoid duplication of data. Data synchronization is initialized manually.
