Add, Edit and Delete Accounts

In a typical Business to Business (B2B) scenario, Account represents a Company or a Department within the company, for which you provide customer support. You can associate an account with contacts (persons) within the company who send in support tickets through one of the many channels you have enabled in Zoho Desk. 

Adding an Account
Typically, accounts can be added in your help desk in the following ways. 
  • Agents can manually create accounts and associate contacts with them.
  • Map your customer accounts with their related contacts in an XLS or CSV file and import them.
  • Link your help desk with Zoho CRM and schedule an automatic sync for the Accounts module. 

To add a new account:
  1. Click the Customers module. 
  2. Click the Accounts tab in the lower-left corner.
  3. In the Accounts Home page, click the Add icon  ) from the top pane. 
  4. Enter the account details on the Add Account page.
  5. Click Submit

Note:
  • You must specify the name of the Account. This field is mandatory.
  • The agent who adds a new account will be set as the account's owner. However, you can specify a different agent using the drop-down menu in the Account Owner field.
