So should I be creating Basic profiles for ALL modules also?

This is a beneficial first step. We are seriously trying to use three Zoho modules under a Zoho One Subscription: CRM, Books, and Inventory. The struggle we are having is synchronisation of records and, in particular, knowing if we can turn off things like invoices and sales orders in CRM so that we can import the same from Books and Inventory. We also have specific fields we are using in Books that are not in Zoho CRM, which we feel are essential, and a few we would like to add under the customer record, such as the district a client is located in. Lastly, we want to add a client workflow triggered by the shipping date. From this shipping date we must contact a client once a week over twelve weeks, how could we potentially do this?

Hi IdeationStation! A few answers here: - You can definitely disable the CRM Sales Orders and Invoices. It's under the CRM/Books integration settings on the CRM side. - Additional custom fields can be added to both CRM and Books, then added to the integration field mapping options - You can use a date-based workflow, triggered off of Shipping Date, with scheduled actions to set up a long-term series of emails to your client Hope this was helpful!

Hello! I have a very basic but possibly complicated question. I have a client that brought ZOHO to me as I’ve worked with other CRM systems in the past and this is their preferred system they want to now move forward with. However, I’m not sure how the ownership or admin works if I set it up with my own email then transfer ownership like I have with other systems. Or, should I walk them through the setup process so that they’ll have to initially start with their own email address. My only worry is that they’ll have access to the system before everything is setup, I’m sure they’ll get email alerts about everything I trigger and test, etc. Any advice is much appreciated!

[@Zenatta]

Hi Tia - some of this does come down to preference. The way we always set it up is where the client has full ownership over the Account. So, it would be under an email address on their domain. We normally recommend they create a new inbox (or alias) for [e-mail] to keep it separate from any specific employee's email address.
