What is required to integrate Microsoft Outlook with Zoho CRM?
To integrate Microsoft Outlook with Zoho CRM, you need an active account in both services and the necessary permissions to connect them. You will also need access to our integration platform where the automation is configured. Specific triggers such as receiving an email in Outlook can initiate actions like creating or updating contacts in Zoho CRM.
Can I create a new contact in Zoho CRM when I receive an email in Outlook?
