Sakari Zoho integrationTwo-way texting from the record, with replies back to the rep who sent them
We connect Sakari to Zoho CRM through the Sakari API and webhooks and the Zoho CRM API. Reps text from the lead or contact, each from their own number, and every reply is saved on the record it belongs to, including texts from numbers Zoho CRM has not seen yet.

Replies with nowhere to go
A rep texts a lead from Sakari and the reply comes back to a shared number, or from someone not in Zoho CRM. Without a plan for those texts, they sit unread, and the Zoho CRM record shows no conversation at all.
What it does
What the Sakari Zoho integration handles
Send from the record
A custom Zoho CRM widget sends through Sakari: pick the phone number, pick a template or write the message, and send.
Per-rep sending numbers
Each rep's texts go out from their own Sakari number, so replies come back to the person who sent them.
Texts on the record
Every text in and out saved on the lead, deal or contact, with direction and time.
Leads from inbound texts
A text from a new number creates a lead in Zoho CRM, with a source field for reporting.
Reply alerts
The lead owner is notified when a text comes in, so no reply waits.
Templates
Saved messages your team picks from in the widget, so common texts go out the same way each time.
Workflow texts
Zoho CRM workflows send a Sakari text when a lead is created or a stage changes, through a Deluge function.
Opt-in and opt-out synced
Opt-outs from Sakari update the Approved to SMS field, and the widget checks that field before it sends.

Built for real life
Sakari Zoho integration: the hard parts, already solved
No consent, no send
If Approved to SMS is not checked, the widget and workflow texts stop before anything reaches Sakari.
Unknown numbers
A text that matches no record is not lost. It creates a lead your team can work.
Phone number formats
Numbers are normalized before matching, so a reply lands on the existing record and does not create a duplicate.
Credentials kept safe
Sakari credentials are stored securely and kept out of the browser.
