Connect Zoho CRM so Vivacity can see your CRM and help you act on it. Your data stays read-only while Vivacity learns. Anything it suggests is drafted for you to approve - it never sends or changes anything in Zoho CRM without your sign-off.

What Vivacity does with Zoho CRM

  • Read contacts, deals and pipeline stages (read-only).
  • Rank who to contact next and explain why.
  • Draft outreach and follow-ups for your approval.

What syncs

Vivacity reads the following from Zoho CRM (read-only):
  • Contacts, companies and leads
  • Deals / opportunities and pipeline stages
  • Activity, notes and record owners
Vivacity only ever reads the data you connect. It does not write back to Zoho CRM unless you explicitly approve an action.

Troubleshooting

Make sure you’re signed in to the correct Zoho CRM account with admin access, then retry. If a pop-up was blocked, allow pop-ups for Vivacity and try again. Still stuck? See Connection issues.
Vivacity syncs on a schedule. Trigger a manual sync from Settings → Connectors → Zoho CRM → Sync now, or see Data & sync.
Zoho CRM access can expire or be revoked. Open the connector and select Reconnect to restore it - your history is kept.
