While Zoho CRM is a multi-functional tool to make things easier, Office 365 is already popular as a versatile suite of powerful Microsoft applications. The applications that come with the Office 365 suite make it easier to manage e-mails, store data, create presentations, and much more.
Zoho integration with Microsoft 365 creates a lethal combination that skyrockets productivity. The need to manually copy-paste data and store it in multiple locations go away with this setup. Both ecosystems work in tandem with each other to give the users a never-before work experience. The employees end up spending far less time on repetitive tasks and stakeholders can take better decisions. Needless to say, this is great for business.

Zoho Outlook integration can also be performed by altering the POP or IMAP settings. This requires logging into the Zoho CRM and entering your Outlook credentials in the ‘Emails’ section located inside ‘Channels’. The system picks up outgoing/incoming server details on its own and voila, you’re done!
