Zoho CRM Integration with Zoho People

Zoho CRM Integration with Zoho People

Integrating with Zoho CRM

You can use this integration to import the leads, accounts, contacts, and deals from Zoho CRM into Zoho People as Clients. Once they have been imported, projects can be associated to these CRM clients in Zoho People. You can then associate the jobs with those projects and assign employees to them, allowing you to track time spent on the CRM clients in Zoho People.

Enabling Integration with Zoho CRM

To integrate with Zoho CRM,
  1. From your home screen, navigate to Settings > Marketplace > Zoho.
  2. Click Configure in Zoho CRM space.



  3. Select the CRM organization of the user who is logged in. Zoho People users can import data only from this CRM organization, so only data that this user can access can be imported.
  4. Click Enable.


Notes
Only the Zoho People administrator can enable integration.

Importing CRM Data into Zoho People

Once the integration is enabled, there are two ways of importing data from Zoho CRM.

Method 1:

  1. Navigate to Operations > Timesheet > Clients.
  2. Click the ellipsis icon and then click Import from Zoho CRM.


  3. Select the module and the data to be imported. 


  4. Click Submit.
Notes
This import method will only be applicable to users with administrator privileges, and users who have been given import permission for client form via user access control.

Method 2:

While adding or editing projects, you can use the Choose from CRM option in the client field to directly associate the project with the CRM client. Once the project is saved, the associated CRM client will be imported to Zoho People as a client.



Notes
This method of importing CRM data will be available to everyone in the organization who has permission to add or edit projects.

Limitations:
  1. Only name and currency information will be imported. First name and last name will become a single field (client name).
  2. Any changes made to CRM client in Zoho People will not be reflected in Zoho People and vice versa.

Adding CRM Data from Zoho People

Leads, contacts, accounts, and deals can also be added to Zoho CRM from Zoho People. While creating or editing a project, you can click Choose from CRM and the existing CRM data of the corresponding modules will be displayed. You can also click Add to add data to CRM.

Only the user who has enabled the integration can add data to the integrated CRM organization.

  2. Click View Details under Zoho CRM to view the following details.
  3. CRM Company Name - company to which the integration is enabled.
  4. The name of the employee whose CRM data can be imported into People.
