you win and track them using projects from CRM with ease.

Add a Task in Zoho Projects and Save to Zoho CRM

Projects client account is already mapped is displayed in this section.

name and they are yet to be mapped, its name is displayed in this
section.
- Mapped Accounts: The CRM account to which the Zoho
Projects client account is already mapped is displayed in this section.
The account should have the same name in both Zoho Projects and CRM.

Known limitations
Use case 1: Updating the Due Date of a Strict Project Task in Zoho CRM
George
works for a Data Migration project that runs on a fixed schedule(i.e a
strict project). He is also a CRM user and he updates the due date of a
task in the Data Migration project from Zoho CRM. He notices that the
due date update didn't reflect.
What happens next and why?
- In
this case, George will receive a notification Email stating that his
recent due date update has failed because it falls beyond the associated
project's schedule. So, A
user cannot update the due date of a task in Zoho CRM when the new date
falls beyond the strict project's schedule in Zoho Projects.
Use case 2: Reopening a subtask in Zoho CRM
Linda
has a Projects account integrated with Zoho CRM. She reopens a
completed task that belongs to the associated Projects account in Zoho
CRM, but notices that the update didn't reflect.
What happens next and why?
- In this case, Linda will receive a notification Email stating that her latest task status update has failed because the task has a parent in Zoho Projects that's closed. So, A user cannot reopen a subtask in Zoho CRM when its parent remains closed in Zoho Projects.
