How to map direct values to Zoho CRM

Follow the steps below to map direct values to Zoho CRM

Navigate to the Hub>Integrations>CRM.
Choose the action type as Add or Update or Add/Update.
After selecting the action type, while mapping the fields of your survey to Zoho CRM, choose Direct value.
The direct values for various CRM fields are as follows:
Checkboxes - true/false/True/False
Date field - Date in YYYY-MM-DD format
Number - Map with a numeric field in the survey
URL - Map with a valid URL format
Individual response URL - Map with the CRM URL field
Response start/end time - Map with the CRM Date/Time field
 
For example, if you want to enable or disable a CRM checkbox field from the survey, you can add a direct value and type True.

In CRM, you will find it enabled like this:

However, if you want to disable that particular checkbox field, you can type in 'False'.

Similarly, for other fields, see how you can map them in your survey:
