Zoho Show integration with Zoho CRM
Data fields are used to store values and provide access to them throughout your presentation. With the external data fields feature in Show, you can merge records from Zoho CRM.
For example, a sales team can store client details like company name, industry, and team size in Zoho CRM. Instead of updating these details manually for each sales pitch deck, you can import them as data fields and merge them into your slides. This makes it easy to create personalized presentations for multiple clients while keeping your information accurate.
Note: This is a premium feature of Zoho Show. To access it, your team needs to be a part of Zoho One, Zoho Workplace, or Zoho WorkDrive.

- Click Create to create the presentations.
Once the records are successfully merged, you'll be able to view a shortcut to open the WorkDrive folder where the presentations are added.
