Contact Matching

Dialpad uses your Dialpad contact’s name, primary email, and primary phone number to search for matching contacts, leads, accounts, and vendors in Zoho CRM.

When matched, the Dialpad sidebar shows related information like open deals and open activities from Zoho CRM.

Click on Deals or Activities to open the details in Zoho CRM.

Multiple Contact Matches 

When multiple matches are found in Zoho CRM, you see a link in the Zoho integration widget stating the number of available matches.

To match the correct record:

1. Click on the blue link that states multiple matches are available
2. Choose the correct match from the list
3. Select Connect
   

You can unmatch a Zoho record from a Dialpad contact by clicking on Wrong Match? 

Create new Zoho CRM record from Dialpad

New Zoho records can be created live during Dialpad calls.

2. Select Zoho
3. Select Create Contact
4. Enter the record details
5. Select Save

The option of creating a contact or lead and logging a call to that record is available only during an active call with that caller. This ensures that the call doesn’t remain unlogged in Zoho CRM.

Logging calls to Zoho CRM

After a Zoho CRM record has been matched to a Dialpad contact, calls to/from that contact will automatically be logged to the matched Zoho record. 

After each call, agents can save the subject and call description in the call activity that gets created in Zoho. 

Note

Calls made to users in the same company are not logged into Zoho CRM. Also, call activity created in Zoho CRM will not include the Dialpad call recording or Ai transcript URL.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Dialpad identify matching records from Zoho CRM?

Dialpad uses the name, primary email address, and primary phone number of the contact and matches it against Zoho records.

If there are multiple matching records, you'll see them in the right-hand sidebar of the Dialpad app.

My Dialpad contact exists in Zoho CRM with the same phone number. Why is Dialpad not identifying it as a match?
