Zoho Cliq extension

Zoho Cliq extension

In a rapid work culture, there is rarely enough time to discuss things thoroughly. Communication is a key element in any workspace. Your team members are looking for the quickest way to get instant notifications on project updates chatting with their peers.  Adding Zoho Sprints extension in Zoho Cliq  helps you stay connected with your teammates and receive project notifications from the Sprint bot and in selected channels.

  1. Notifications are only triggered when a webhook is created. Webhook is available to users in Premier plan. Pricing Plan Details
  1. Admin, Manager, and Member have access to the extension. (Only the Admin and Manager can map projects to cliq channels.)
Helen Collins is a Zoho Sprints admin who is managing a team of 50 members. She works in the EU and all of her clients are in China. Her team's only source of communication is chat. She uses Zoho Cliq to communicate with her clients and all the sprint meetings are scheduled over video conferencing.

Challenge:  The client requirements are discussed over chat and later the relevant team creates a work item in Zoho Sprints.    


How can Helen overcome this challenge? Creating a task for every single conversation is a tedious work for the team members. An integration that could directly convert a conversation to a work item would make things easier for the team members. 

Solution: 
         Configure the Zoho Sprints workspace to the Sprints bot in Zoho Cliq 
         Map projects to dedicated channels
         Convert a chat message to a work item in Zoho Cliq
         Fetch work items details from Zoho Cliq
         Create sprint meetings directly from Zoho Cliq
         Quickly add log hours to the work items from Zoho Cliq

  2. Click Allow Access to request permission to access the Zoho OAuth account. 
  3. Click Accept  in the pop-up.

Enable notifications 

Once your workspace is configured with the bot, you have to enable notifications for the activities across all the projects. 
  1. Click Proceed
  2. Select Allow Access. This will authorize your Sprints workspace to access the OAuth token
  3. Click Proceed to Allow.   
A webhook is created which will trigger notifications to the Sprints bot when activities are added across all the projects.  

Map projects to channels

You can map projects to particular channels with sprints bot.  
  1. Click  Map Projects or click Configure at the bottom and select Map More Projects.  
  2. Select the Project.  
  3. Choose All, Backlog or a particular sprint.  
    1. All - All the backlog and sprints in the selected project will be mapped to the channel. 
    2. Backlog - Only the backlog of the selected project will be mapped to the channel. 
    3. Particular sprint - Only the selected sprint in the project will be mapped to the channel. 
  4. Click Map Project.  
Once the mapping is done, the channel will receive all notifications related to the mapped fields of the project.  
Note:  If you have already mapped a particular project to a channel, you cannot map it to the same channel again. For example: Helen chooses the 'Marketing' project and the 'Social media' sprint and maps it to the 'Advertising' channel. This channel will receive notification on the sprint updates. She cannot map the same project and sprint to the channel 'Advertising' again, because it is already mapped. If she would like to receive notifications on all the updates made in the project, she can select All.  

  1. While mapping the projects to the channel, the sprint bot is automatically added to the channel. All the notifications are triggered relevant to the project. 
  2. You can also manually add the sprints bot to the channel and map the projects.
