FAQ on Prepopulating Email Address Using the Zoho Survey-Zoho CRM Integration

Is there an option to pull the email addresses of my respondents from CRM and pre-populate in the survey?

  1. Navigate to the survey builder and click the Hub tab.
  2. Click Integrate in the Zoho CRM section, and select the required CRM module. 
  3. Use the sync type as Update record.
  4. Select the checkbox Prepopulate survey answers with information from Zoho CRM.
  5. Map the Email field from Zoho CRM with the Email question in Zoho Survey.
  6. Click Save
When the surveys are sent from Zoho CRM, the mapped Email field will automatically be prepopulated with the data from Zoho CRM.  
  1. Log on to your Zoho Survey account.
  2. Add an Email question.
  3. Select Prepopulate answer.

  17. Add a '#' symbol, and you will see the merge tags available in CRM.
  18. Select the merge tag corresponding to the parameter name. For example, if the email is your parameter name, then it should be appended to the survey URL as (https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/HPCuOF?email=${Lead Email}).
  19. Copy the entire text (survey URL with the custom variable appended to it) and click the Create Link icon next to the bullet list icon.
  20. Paste the copied text in the Enter Web URL text box.
  21. Type in a title for the URL in the Title text box, then click Save.
  22. Go back to the Zoho CRM homepage and select the module in which you have created the template. For example, if it was a lead module then, select the Lead module and select the leads to whom you want to send the survey. Click Send Email and select the created email template, and click Send.
