How Zoho CRM Connects with Other Zoho Applications

Zoho CRM connects natively with other Zoho products such as Zoho Books, Zoho Campaigns, Zoho Desk, Zoho Forms, Zoho Projects, and Zoho Analytics. This ensures seamless flow of information across sales, marketing, finance, and support teams.

Practical Example of Integration

A digital agency uses Zoho CRM to track leads and manage deal progress. Once a deal is marked as won, the client’s billing information is automatically sent to Zoho Books for invoicing. Simultaneously, a project is created in Zoho Projects, and a welcome email is triggered through Zoho Campaigns. Support tickets are managed in Zoho Desk with full visibility into the customer’s history from CRM. This end-to-end flow reduces handoffs and boosts productivity across departments.
