Hi Zoho Team,
However, we would like to suggest expanding this capability to a Zoho One–level feature, rather than limiting it only to Zoho Mail.
Current Limitation:
At the moment, announcements are only visible inside Zoho Mail.
In reality, many users spend most of their time in other Zoho apps such as: Zoho Desk, Zoho CRM, Zoho Projects, Zoho Cliq And others
As a result, important announcements may be missed entirely if users are not actively using Zoho Mail.
Feature Request:
We would like to request a centralized announcement/banner system across all Zoho suit with the following capabilities:
- Display announcements across all Zoho applications, not just Zoho Mail
- Ensure visibility whether users access apps via: one.zoho.com or Direct app URLs (e.g., desk.zoho.com, crm.zoho.com, etc.)
- Ensure visibility also in zoho one dashboard.
- Maintain the existing capabilities from Zoho Mail: Scheduling, Expiry date, Target audience (entire org / specific groups), Rich text formatting (Please make sure it's supports RTL).
Benefits:
- True organization-wide communication, regardless of which app users are using
- Increased visibility for critical updates (maintenance, incidents, policy changes, events)
- Reduced reliance on email (which is often missed or delayed)
- Consistent communication experience across the Zoho ecosystem
- Strong alignment with Zoho One as a unified operating system for business
This could be implemented as a global banner layer managed from Zoho One Admin, which is injected into all Zoho apps—similar to how security policies and user management are centrally controlled.
Final Note:
Zoho One is positioned as a unified platform, then organization-wide announcements should also be unified and not limited to a single application but also taking under consideration that organizations do not always access applications via one.zoho.com - since Users often log in directly via URLs like: desk.zoho.com, crm.zoho.com, projects.zoho.com etc.
This enhancement would improve internal communication and ensure that important messages are always seen—no matter where users are working.
Thank you for considering this request.
Kind regards,
Ram
