3 Powerful Google Apps that Help Zoho Users Save Time and Money:  

1.)  Gmail Integrated with Zoho

This is one of our Customers favorite Zoho Google Apps and one we use heavily in our business. Our Customers find they save money when moving over to Gmail for their daily email correspondence. If you prefer to use Outlook, you can use Gmail for your backend mail exchange. All your emails are safe with Google’s secure online back up. If you need to access emails when you are out of the office or away from your computer, you can now access Outlook anywhere you have a web-browser. Feeling bogged down with emails? Easily find what you are looking for with Google’s powerful built in search functionality. Zoho and Google Apps will work with all Microsoft file types so you can open any documents while on the road.

2.)  Zoho Plugged into Google Calendar

Another favorite is the ability to coordinate your schedule with Google Calendar.  You can view all events and create multiple calendars from the same interface.  This integrates with Zoho CRM so all your events and reminders can be seen in Zoho.  Coworkers have visibility on your availability so they can easily work around your schedule.  Google Calendar allow you to set permissions so you can set who the ability to view and modify your schedule.

3.) Google Drive integration for Zoho CRM

This special connection, developed by ZBrains, allows for CRM record file storage inside Google Drive.  The Google Drive integration works by creating and associating new Google Drive folders with Zoho CRM records based on a folder structure or hierarchy that you set.  When you create new CRM records – for example, for a client project – an equivalent folder and URL will be created in Google Drive, and that folder’s URL will be automatically linked to the appropriate CRM record.
