Unify Your Marketing: The All-in-One Zoho SMB Playbook

Are your marketing efforts falling flat due to scattered data? When your website analytics, email platform, and social media tools don't talk to each other, you lose sight of the customer journey.

Integration Logic

  • Zoho One Native Sync

    This native integration establishes a bi-directional sync between Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns, and a one-way data flow from Zoho Social to Zoho CRM. Zoho CRM acts as the central database. Leads and Contacts created or updated in CRM are automatically pushed to specified mailing lists in Zoho Campaigns. Campaign activities and member statuses (e.g., opens, clicks) can be synced back to the contact/lead record in CRM. Zoho Social's Lead Forms and social interactions can be configured to automatically create new leads in Zoho CRM, enriching your sales pipeline directly from your social media channels.
