If you’re currently using or thinking of using Zoho CRM, read on to find out how Zopim integrates with Zoho CRM to help streamline your sales conversion funnel.
First off, ensure you have set up Zoho CRM integration.
Let’s take an example of a new website visitor requesting an on-site demo by a sales agent. When he clicks on the chat bar on your website, he will see a form like this.
Once he submits the form, your chat operators can attend to him as per normal. The magic comes one the visitor starts the chat. Your agent will be able to see all past ZohoCRM cases for the visitor. He has also able click the ‘View Contact’ button to see more information regarding the visitor on Zoho.
At any time you can click the “Create Ticket” button to create a case within ZohoCRM, alternatively one will be automatically created, if you had selected the option to create a case automatically after chat ends while setting up the integration.
This immediately creates a case on Zoho CRM. All vital information from the chat, including the transcript, country, IP address, etc.. are included within the case description. The sales representative attending to the visitor would have all these information at his fingertips prior to contacting the visitor.
That’s not all! What’s interesting is when John returns to the site at a later time. Let’s say he wants to arrange a phone meeting instead. Instead of having to repeat himself all over again, Zopim looks up Zoho CRM, and provides the visitor’s Zoho CRM profile and overview of tickets to the chat operators attending to him. This is done by looking up John’s email within Zoho CRM.
Now go ahead and impress your customers with your amazing customer service, and photographic memory =)






Cool feature!! I tested it out and works perfectly!!!!
Awesome Wilson!!
It is odd to me however that in their description of this new integration, they suggest it is a tool for salespeople (“salespeople will get the edge they always needed”) and ‘cases’ are for support personnel. Very strange indeed.
The issue is that those from our website that we would be interested in adding to Zoho are leads and certainly not cases. Will you be offering the option to add these chats to leads or even prospects? The ‘cases’ module in Zoho is meant for something else entirely and would only serve to have redundant and faulty data added to the system.
Marc That correct,
It should be exported as leads and not Case. The case is problems accrued and it is not possible to clone those case to the lead have to do it manually so have to wait until zopim and Zoho sort it out
@PrintingGood @Marc Thanks for the feedback. ZohoCRM didn’t use to have ‘notes’ under ‘leads’, which was why we created cases instead of leads. Having reviewed it recently, it looks like notes has just been added in, so what we’ll do is to create a lead and add a ‘note’ to the lead. Do give us a little lead time to get down to this. Our integrations engineer already has this in the pipeline. Thanks!
I support the idea of using leads as well – or at least giving the operator the choice of creating a lead or a case…Thanks!
Hello,
We have ZCRM with zopim package, today can’t create a lead on crm directly from a conversation.
Thanks!
we have a php website and I am unable to copy the script to any part of this site to make it work
Does it have to be a html page ?
@georgebester you can paste our script in php html templates. it’s usually named header.html =)
Hi ,
It says my integration is set up , but I dont see the system message after a user has left the chat. Am I missing something?
@prashant could you email us at support [a] zopim [dotcom] with your account login email and more details. We’d be glad to help there!
Hi,
is there a way to rather capture the info in zoho as a lead and not a case?
sometimes the zoho link does not appear with the user leaves the chat, why is this?
thank you
Brett
@brett not at the moment unfortunately. this is quite a common request, and we’re hoping to rectify this in the next upgrade of our integrations feature.
Any updates on this feature? I can’t seem to get an answer..
Hey Adrian,
I actually replied to you. We have updated the Zoho integration, this page has not been updated yet. I’ll update the page immediately though
Drop us an email or contact us on our chat. You’ll get an answer much faster that way!
