- Adding and updating log hours in Zoho BugTracker will not be synced in work items of "completed sprints" in Zoho Sprints.
Sync Users
User sync is one of the main components in this integration as it helps coordination between the team members to work both in the waterfall and agile model.
Adding user
All the users from Zoho BugTracker will be added to Zoho Sprints but will be under 'Inactive' state. Only the Admin can activate the user in Zoho Sprints. And only after the user confirms the invitation email they can carry out the further operations. Learn more on how to activate users.
If the user has not confirmed or if the user is in 'Inactive' state in Zoho Sprints, then they:
- can perform allowed operations from Zoho BugTracker to Zoho Sprints.
- cannot view the operations in Zoho Sprints.
Role Mapping Between Sprints and BugTracker
Zoho Sprints | Zoho BugTracker |
Team Owner | Portal Owner |
Member | Admin, Manager, Employee, Contractor, Client User |
When you add a new user (and client user) in the mapped project from Zoho BugTracker, the user will be added to Zoho Sprints. But at a team level, the user will be added only if they are part of any mapped project.
- User is synced from Zoho BugTracker. This user has been moved to Active Status in Zoho Sprints and the user has confirmed the email invite. After the user has confirmed, the role is changed as Manager in Zoho Sprints.
- User is synced from Zoho BugTracker. By default, the user has been added to 'Inactive' Status. Only after the confirmation the user will be shown as 'Active.
- The client user in Zoho BugTracker should be added to Zoho One to integrate with Zoho Sprints
Editing Users
When you modify the user details from Zoho BugTracker it gets automatically updated in Zoho Sprints. When you modify the project details and add it as a Zoho Sprints project, all the users will be synced to Zoho Sprints.
Deleting Users
You cannot delete a Zoho BugTracker user from Zoho Sprints. Alternatively, you can delete them at a team level but the user will only be moved to 'Inactive' status and will not be deleted. You have to delete the user from Zoho BugTracker to remove them from Zoho Sprints.
Deactivating Users
Deactivating synced users from both the applications will hold the user as an active user and they can perform all the operations.
Can I sync Client and Vendor users from Zoho Sprints end?
Client and Vendor users are not supported in Zoho Sprints projects that are integrated with Zoho BugTracker. If you navigate to the Users module, only Team user option will be available in the integrated projects. If you enable Zoho Projects integration for an existing Sprints project that has Client and Vendor users, you will get an error stating that the project cannot be synced due to the presence of Client/Vendor users.
However, Client user is supported from Zoho BugTracker end. You can integrate a Zoho BugTracker project with Client user, but the user will be added as a team user in Zoho Sprints.
Assign Epic
You can assign the epics defined in Sprints while adding bugs in Zoho BugTracker. Create a new bug and select the epic to which the bug needs to be associated.
When you access the item in Sprints, the epic will reflect in the work item.

- The data sync between Zoho Sprints and Zoho BugTracker cannot be recovered after deleting the integration.
- Re-establishing the integration between the two applications, after deleting, will lead to duplication of bugs in Zoho BugTracker and duplication of work items in Zoho Sprints. The duplication occurs only when you try to sync items that were previously synced before deleting the integration.
