Hello Community,
Hope you're all doing good and staying safe. We at Zoho Workplace have brought you with the list of new features and enhancements that have been released in the month of April across Workplace applications.
Let's take a look at them!
Zoho Mail
Do you find it time-consuming to download an attachment from an email and then upload it to Zoho CRM to be associated with a Lead? By creating an incoming filter action, you can now automatically add the Workdrive link with the attachment to a Lead in your CRM module.
If you want to auto-intimate your team members of an email through Zoho Cliq, we've got you covered. You can now choose to automatically notify your team via Zoho Cliq by posting the email link or just the attachments from an email to a channel that you're part of.
Have you thought about adding a Zoom meeting link when you compose an email in Zoho Mail but had to navigate to a new tab to create one? Your thoughts have been heard. The Zoom extension in Zoho Mail now allows you to create Zoom meetings and share links directly from your mailbox.
In addition to the emails that you send from Zoho CRM to any Leads or Contacts, you can also associate any email in your inbox with any entity in your CRM module and easily access them from Zoho CRM.
Two new reports under Security reports section
In Zoho Mail Admin Reports, two new reports have been added to the Security Reports section:
The administrators can use this report to view the consolidated list of suspicious login activities of users.
The administrators can use this report to view the session history i.e., the Client IP address and Session start time of any users.
Zoho Calendar
The view events tab now lets you see where your event email invites are in terms of the delivery status. You will see the "undelivered message" status and the reason for it next to the participant if any of the invites have not yet been delivered.
Zoho Cliq
Microsoft Teams migration
If you're looking to migrate from MS Teams, we've made things easy for you. With just a click of a button in the admin panel, you can start a
simplified process to migrate all your data from MS Teams to Cliq.The existing user information, DMs, channels, group chats, and thread messages from Microsoft Teams can be imported and you can continue conversations in Cliq instantly. Check this out now by exploring this
video clip.
Org policy to limit/allow all users of the organization to install extensions
With the latest update to the organization policy, administrators now can restrict users from installing extensions that are not verified and available only in the Cliq marketplace. This new feature provides added security measures to prevent unverified extensions from being installed on a team's account, thus reducing the risk of privacy breaches and ensuring the safety of confidential information.
WorkDrive upload restriction
Admins now have the option to prevent users from uploading files from Zoho WorkDrive in a chat. The latest feature in the admin panel provides admins more control with the type of files users can upload, to help maintain data privacy and ensure that sensitive information is not shared inappropriately.
Zoho Writer
Easily import and use your citations from Zotero in your Zoho Writer documents.
Zoho Connect
With the latest enhancement in web tabs, you can now add URLs of sites that don't support embedding and configure them to open in a new browser tab.
On the Task Statistics page, we've added a new tab called Member Stats, where you can find the task stats for each member in the selected board.
We've added a new option in Zoho Connect's built-in feedback provider which you can use to screen record the issue you're facing and send it to the support team effortlessly.
Zoho Show
With the Show and Zapier integration, you can transfer data from any app to Show.
Zoho Meeting
Check your upcoming events, schedule new meetings and webinars, and stay organized with all of your sessions, all from one place.
Zoho Meeting's Zia integration, powered by Open AI, helps analyze and condense meeting transcripts into brief, easy-to-read keynotes. This Zia integration will help you increase your productivity with short and quick keynotes generated using the Meeting session's recording transcripts.
