Trident for Zoho Workplace

They'll automatically be moved to your Spam folder, keeping your inbox clean and distraction-free. Identify trusted brands at a glance
With Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI), verified brands' logos are now displayed directly in your inbox. This lets you instantly recognize authenticated senders, adding an extra layer of trust and security to your email communication.

The email interface has been refreshed with a cleaner, more modern look, making it easier to read and manage your conversations.
Schedule Cliq meetings in Trident

Skip the extra setup when scheduling meetings with Cliq (audio and video), now available as a conference platform for calendar events. This lets you start meetings instantly from the event card, while participants can join via the auto-generated meeting link. Book meeting rooms while creating events
In-person meetings just got easier with meeting room booking support in Trident. While creating an event, you can search for available meeting rooms, filter rooms based on amenities such as Wi-Fi or seating capacity, and reserve the room that works for your meeting. Integrate Zoho Meeting with Trident
You can now schedule, start, and join Zoho Meetings directly from Trident using the new Zoho Meeting eWidget. The widget can automatically pull in the email subject and participants from selected emails, making it easier to set up meetings in just a few clicks.
