How can I sync tasks and project updates between Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects?


Info

You can connect Zoho CRM with Zoho Projects for seamless sales-to-service handoffs. Here’s how:

  1. Enable the Zoho Projects Integration in CRM:
    In CRM, go to Setup → Marketplace → Zoho → Zoho Projects and connect.

  2. Project Creation from Deals:
    Automatically create a project in Zoho Projects when a deal reaches a specific stage (e.g., “Closed Won”).

  3. Task Assignment from CRM:
    Sales reps can create tasks within CRM that sync directly with Zoho Projects, ensuring proper transition and delivery.

  4. Use Zoho Flow for Deeper Syncing:
    Automatically update a CRM deal's status when a milestone in the project is completed, using Zoho Flow.

  5. Shared Timeline View:
    Both teams can see updates, notes, and tasks without leaving their native interface.

Use Case Example: When a deal is won, a predefined project template launches, assigns a team, and sales can monitor delivery progress right from the CRM.

This closes the gap between sales and execution teams.
