Improve your team’s productivity with Diapad’s native Zoho integration by matching Zoho contacts, leads, and accounts to Dialpad. Then, Dialpad automatically logs inbound and outbound calls into Zoho CRM against the matching customer record.

Let's take a look at the Zoho integration in Dialpad.

Connect to Zoho

Once Zoho has been enabled at the company and office level, agents must connect their Dialpad account to Zoho in the Dialpad app. While configuring the Zoho integration, ensure these module fields are accessible to Dialpad:

Note

The User Role of the user trying to connect must have access to Modules as well in order to have access to the module fields. These modules include:

Accounts

Contacts

Leads

Vendors

CONTACTS (If the user has Vendor access)	First_Name Last_Name Title Vendor_Name.Vendor_Name Phone Mobile Email
CONTACTS_WITHOUT_VENDOR	First_Name Last_Name Title Phone Mobile Email
LEADS	First_Name Last_Name Designation Company Phone Mobile Email
ACCOUNTS	Account_Name ParentAccount.Account_Name Phone Website
VENDORS	Vendor_Name Phone Email Website

To connect a Dialpad account to Zoho:

Navigate to any contact
Select their name to open the profile menu, or select the Skinny Bar icon
Select the Zoho widget
Select Connect Zoho
Sign in with your Zoho credentials
Select Accept to allow Dialpad to communicate with Zoho

That's it! Now that Dialpad is connected to Zoho, you'll see matching records from Zoho CRM in Dialpad. Just look for the Zoho section in the right-hand sidebar of your Dialpad app.

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.

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

Select Deals or Activities to open the details in Zoho CRM.

Create new Zoho record from Dialpad

New Zoho records can be created live during Dialpad calls.

To create a Zoho record from the Dialpad app:

Select the Zoho widget on the right-hand sidebar
Select Create Contact
Enter the record details
Select Save

You can only create a Zoho contact (or lead) and log a call to that record during an active call with that caller. This is intentional, it ensures the call doesn’t remain unlogged in Zoho CRM.

Logging calls to Zoho

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.

Multiple contact matches

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

To match the correct record from the Zoho widget:

Navigate to multiple matches available on the Zoho widget
Select the correct match
Select Connect

Note

When there are multiple contact matches, the correct match must be selected before, or during, a call for that call to be logged.
You can unmatch a Zoho record from a Dialpad contact by selecting Wrong Match?

Supported AI fields

Dialpad AI tracks recaps, action items, call tags, and outcomes, so follow-ups aren’t missed. If you use AI CSAT or AI Playbooks, you’ll also see agent’s performance and CSAT scores.

Let's look at at which AI features are logged to, and supported in Zoho.

Field label	Data type	Description

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. Information is matched against the details stored in the name, email, phone, and mobile fields in Zoho CRM for all records. To identify the ones matching the Dialpad contact, 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?

Check to see if the phone number is entered in Zoho using the standard Phone and Mobile field. The Dialpad integration does not support phone numbers captured in Zoho custom fields.

I am based in Canada, which Region Setting do I use?

While there is a separate Canadian Zoho cloud, Dialpad’s integration will only work if you use the ‘accounts.zoho.com’ access URL.

The “United States” Region Setting covers all regions in North America.

Are calls made from deskphones logged?

Yes. All calls made with Dialpad are logged.

Do all deal stage types sync?

No. With Dialpad’s Zoho integration, only deals in the following stages will sync between Dialpad and Zoho:

Qualification
Negotiation/Review
Proposal/Price Quote
Value Proposition
Needs Analysis
Identify Decision Makers

Can I access recordings for all Dialpad calls within Zoho?

No. Currently, Dialpad’s Zoho integration only provides access to call recordings associated with Contact Centers and Coaching Team calls. Call recordings for calls made via Mainlines and Departments are not supported in Zoho at this time.
