The Zoho Campaigns integration with Zoho Recruit meets the email marketing needs during your recruitment process. With this integration, you can sync your Recruit contacts with Zoho Campaign's mailing lists, send them mass emails, and track their responses.

The synchronization with Zoho Campaigns helps you export candidates and contacts from Recruit to Campaigns and easily plan and execute newsletters, welcome emails, and other email correspondence. 

This integration is not to be confused with Recruit's native Campaigns module:

• While Zoho Campaigns is an email marketing application from Zoho, there is a module called Campaigns in Zoho Recruit, which can help you track all marketing campaigns in your business, not just those related to emails.
• You can also track the responses to emails sent via Zoho Campaigns in Recruit's in-built Campaigns module.
