Automatic Department and Employee Sync Between Zoho One and Zoho People

Automatic Department and Employee Sync Between Zoho One and Zoho People

Dear Zoho Support,

I'm writing to propose a valuable feature request that would streamline data management and improve user experience within the Zoho ecosystem: automatic synchronization between departments and employees in Zoho One and Zoho People.

Current Challenge:

Currently, managing departments and employees requires maintaining data in both Zoho One and Zoho People. This can be time-consuming and prone to errors due to manual data entry and the possibility of inconsistencies between the two platforms.

Proposed Feature:

We propose the implementation of a two-way automatic synchronization between Zoho One departments and Zoho People. This would ensure:

  • Automatic Department Creation: When a new department is created in Zoho One, it would automatically be replicated in Zoho People, along with relevant details.

  • Automatic Employee Association: Employees assigned to departments in Zoho One would be automatically linked to the corresponding departments in Zoho People.

  • Automatic Updates: Any changes made to departments or employee department assignments in either platform would be automatically reflected in the other, ensuring data consistency.

Benefits:

  • Improved Efficiency: Automating data synchronization eliminates manual effort, saving time and resources for administrators.

  • Enhanced Data Accuracy: Eliminates the risk of inconsistencies and errors arising from duplicate data entry.

  • Simplified User Management: Provides a centralized location for managing departments and employee affiliations.

  • Streamlined Workflows: Enables seamless integration between Zoho One and Zoho People for HR-related processes.

Conclusion:

Automatic department and employee sync between Zoho One and Zoho People would be a significant improvement, fostering better data management and streamlining HR workflows within the Zoho ecosystem. We strongly encourage you to consider this feature request for a future update.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Ram

            A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk)  In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only.  The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
