How can I sync contacts between Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns for email marketing?


Info

To ensure your contact database is aligned between Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns, follow this process:

  1. Enable Sync from Zoho Campaigns:

    • Go to Campaigns → Contacts → Sync Services → Choose Zoho CRM.

    • Choose the CRM module (Leads, Contacts, or Custom Modules) and sync direction (one-way or two-way).

  2. Set Filters:

    • You can sync only selected views or records based on criteria (e.g., Tag = "Newsletter Subscriber").

  3. Map Fields:

    • Ensure custom fields like "Source", "Region", or "Subscription Type" are mapped correctly to Campaigns.

  4. Automate List Updates:

    • Any new CRM contact added to a selected view will be added to the Campaigns list automatically.

  5. Enable GDPR Compliance (if applicable):

    • Ensure consent fields are synced to avoid sending emails to unsubscribed users.

Use Case Example:
Marketing creates a CRM view named “Email Subscribers”. Zoho Campaigns syncs this view daily, sending campaigns only to opted-in contacts.

This keeps your campaigns accurate and prevents spam or compliance issues.
