What the integration does

Callizy connects your phone to Zoho CRM. Every call becomes a Zoho call on the contact: type, duration, summary and transcript in the description. The recording plays right inside Zoho, and the file is attached to the contact record. Texts become notes.

Contacts go both ways, whether Zoho is hosted in Canada, the United States or Europe. A “Call with Callizy” button on the record starts the call.

Before you start

Be a manager on the Callizy account.
A Zoho CRM admin account.

Not working?

The small green phone does not call with Callizy

That one is Zoho’s. Create the “Call with Callizy” button: see step 3.

The button opens an empty number

In the button address, insert the Phone field from Fields: do not type the token by hand.

Zoho’s sample contacts are in Callizy

Delete them in Zoho (Setup, Data Administration, Remove sample data): they will be archived in Callizy.

Frequently asked questions

Does it create duplicates in Zoho CRM?

No. Callizy looks up the number in Zoho CRM before writing: the call lands on the existing record. A contact is created only if the number is unknown, and only if the setting is on.

When do the summary and recording arrive?

The call shows up as soon as it ends. The summary, transcript and recording follow within a minute. A call of a few seconds has no summary.

What does the call button open?

The Callizy web softphone, on the contact’s number, in a new tab. You need to be signed in to Callizy in that browser.

Is it included in my subscription?

Yes, in the Team and Business plans, at no extra cost. The Solo plan does not include it.

Zoho’s sample contacts showed up in Callizy

That is normal: Zoho sent them like any other contact. Delete them in Zoho (Setup, Data Administration, Remove sample data): they will be archived in Callizy.
