Zoho Projects Integration with Zoho Cliq

Zoho Projects Integration with Zoho Cliq

You can add, manage, track tasks and issues from Cliq with the Zoho Projects–Zoho Cliq integration.

Case 2. Org admin does not have a Zoho Projects portal but a super admin has a Zoho Projects account with portal

  1. The configuration page will display the following message "Your organization owner already has a Zoho Projects portal. Please check with your organization owner to configure the Zoho Projects portal in Cliq."
Note: The org admin can contact the super admin to map a portal for the organization.

Case 3. Organization admin does not have a Zoho Projects account with a portal

  1. When you navigate to Admin Panel > Configurations > Tasks, you will find a toggle button instead of a Configure button.
  2. In this case, you will not be able to see Zoho Projects option under Integrations.
  3. You will be able to create a portal and map it to a Cliq organization by selecting Add a Task tab or Create Task under message actions.
