Key Features
Everything your AI needs to handle Zoho CRM inquiries like a pro.
Lead Lookup
Your AI searches Zoho CRM leads by phone, email, or company name and reads back lead source, status, rating, and assigned owner — so a returning prospect gets instant context.
Deal Tracking
A customer asking about a proposal or timeline gets a read from Zoho — deal stage, amount, probability, expected close date, and associated activities.
Contact Lookup
Your AI reads the contact record including associated accounts, deals, and notes, so it recognizes who it's talking to.
Read-Only by Design
The Zoho integration reads your CRM; it does not update fields, add notes, or create records. New details from a conversation are handed to your team to enter.

Example 2 — Contact Lookup:
"If a returning customer calls, search Zoho CRM by their phone number or name. Review their contact record and any recent notes before responding so you have full context of their history with us."
Example 3 — Follow-Up Scheduling:

Hi, I'm following up on a quote I was sent for the annual maintenance contract.
Of course. Can I get your company name?
Pacific Industrial Services.
I found your account. That quote was sent on March 3rd for $36,000 — currently in the proposal stage with your rep, James, who noted he's waiting on your approval of the service schedule. I can pass a message to James so he follows up. Anything you'd like me to add?
