Zoho

The ReferralHero / Zoho integration provides seamless functionality, empowering you to:

  • Import Existing Contacts from Zoho to ReferralHero

  • Automatically Sync ReferralHero Subscribers to Zoho

Import Zoho Contacts to ReferralHero

If you have existing contacts in your Zoho account and want to import/subscribe them all to your ReferralHero campaign, follow these instructions:

  1. Go to your Campaign Dashboard > Subscribers > Import and click on the tab Import from CRM.

  2. If you haven't connected your Zoho account yet, please do it now by clicking on the button Setup Integration.

  3. Specify a URL for the referral link. This is the URL that we will use to generate the referral link for your subscribers. For example, if you use http://mywebsite.com, the referral link will be 'http://mywebsite.com?mwr=123456'

  4. Optional: Choose to "Send Welcome Email" at the time of import. Note, you must activate your Welcome Email in Automations before enabling the "Send Welcome Email"

  5. Click on the button Import

We will import your subscribers into your ReferralHero campaign immediately. Depending on how many subscribers you are importing, it might take from a few minutes to several hours. We will send you an email when the import is finished.

NOTE: If you have created custom fields in your Zoho account, ReferralHero will populate them with the subscriber's values.

Sync ReferralHero Subscribers to Zoho

If you want to automatically add ReferralHero subscribers to Zoho, follow these instructions.
