How to integrate your phone system with Zoho CRM

Zoho CRM has a telephony layer called PhoneBridge. Phone systems such as RingCentral, Five9 and 8x8 plug into it, or into their own Zoho apps, to add click-to-dial, caller pop-ups and call logging. An admin turns it on under Setup > Channels > Telephony, and each user signs in with their own phone login.

The native integration is the starting point. We set it up, then build what it does not cover: the right fields on each call, missed-call tasks, texts on the same record, routing rules and reports your managers read.

Where there is no native app, or it stops short, we build the connection with Deluge functions, Zoho widgets, workflows and the phone system's APIs. Call trackers like CallTrackingMetrics and CallRail and texting tools like Twilio connect the same way.

Zoho CRM phone integration FAQ

What is Zoho CRM telephony integration?

It connects your phone system to Zoho CRM, so calls are made from the record, incoming calls pop the matching lead or contact, and every call is logged where your team works.

What is PhoneBridge?

PhoneBridge is Zoho's telephony layer. Phone systems plug into it to add click-to-dial, caller matching and call logging to Zoho CRM. It also has an API for building connections that have no ready-made app.

Which phone systems do you connect?

RingCentral, Five9 and 8x8, plus call trackers like CallTrackingMetrics and CallRail. If your phone system has an API, we can build the connection.

Is it VoIP integration?

Yes. RingCentral, Five9 and 8x8 are cloud phone systems, so a Zoho CRM VoIP integration and a phone integration are the same job.

Can texts land in Zoho CRM too?

Yes. Text activity can be logged on the same record as the calls, and texts can be sent from a Zoho widget wired to your texting provider.

Do you sign a BAA?

Yes. We sign BAAs for healthcare work.

How is it priced?

By project, not by the hour. The first call is free, and you get a project quote after it.
