You are all set. From now on, every subscriber created or updated in Tidio will be created or updated in Zoho CRM.











## How adding and updating contacts in Zoho CRM works







Whenever a new subscriber is created or updated in Tidio, we will send it to your Zoho CRM account. If a contact with a given email address is not found, we will create one.



If a contact already exists in your Zoho CRM account, then we will update it with data in Tidio.







You can also map custom contact properties to fields in Zoho CRM.



The default contact properties include:



- email address
- first and last name
- phone number
- email subscription status







In case of a contact update, If we do not have a value for a property, then it will overwrite the value in Zoho CRM.







You can create or update contacts in Tidio in several ways:



- Through pre-chat survey
- Using flows to collect contact information
- Changing it manually during a conversation







Every change will be reflected in Zoho CRM automatically.







💡

 

It may take up to 5 minutes to see changes in Zoho CRM.







## How sending chat transcripts from Tidio to Zoho CRM works







Every time you mark a conversation with a visitor as solved, we will send a chat transcript to your Zoho CRM account. That way, you can keep track of all your conversations.







**There are two ways to send chat transcripts to Zoho CRM:**



- By [pressing the **Solve** button](<https://help.tidio.com/articles/integration-zoho-crm/#h_01HT53QY3FSBY580SQB5W57PT4>) when you finish talking with a visitor
- By enabling the[ automatic solving](<https://help.tidio.com/articles/solve-automatically/>) in the **Workflows** section of **Settings**







The chat transcript is assigned to a contact in Zoho. If there's no such contact, then new contact will be created. You'll see the transcript added as a note.











### How to mark a conversation as solved







To solve a conversation, click on the **Solve** button in the conversation header in the **Inbox**.

## How to enable the auto-solve feature







The option is available inside the **Workflows** section. You can access it by navigating to **Settings \> Workflows** in your Tidio project:

💡



**Please note:** Workflows are available on the **Growth** plan and above. You can also use **Solve** manually without setting up a workflow.



Inside, you will find two main tabs: **My Workflows** and **Templates**. This is where you manage all your workflows in general - see a list of your added workflows, create new ones, or browse the available templates.



To enable automatic solving (for conversations and/or tickets), you will need to access the **Templates** tab:
