We will be taken to the WOZTELL Platform CRM integration page. Here, we will click on the “Get” button.
This will open up a smaller window and we will click on the install button.
After completing the installation, we will be redirected to the WOZTELL Platform integrations page. We will click on the extension to accept the Zoho OAuth connector.
If successful, we will now see this page. If you do not get redirected automatically, click on “click me!”
We will click on Accept and that is the last step done. We have successfully installed the Zoho CRM extension!

STEP 2: Configure WOZTELL in ZOHO CRM

Once the installation is finished, we will be able to access the configuration screen, where we can define the predefined format for the phone numbers and channels we want to connect to CRM.

This configuration screen can be found in the Zoho Marketplace tab and, within it, in the installed applications tab.

The first thing we will do is set the default format of the phone numbers in the most frequent country in our database.

We will define the most common prefix (by selecting the country) and the length in digits of the phone number.

In our example, we select the prefix of Spain and 9 digits as the default length. Click on “SAVE” to save.

This configuration is for ZOHO CRM to recognize WhatsApp numbers.

For phones that are not from the default country, we will have to save them in international format.

We will do this by going to the “Manage” column and clicking on “Connect/Disconnect”.

Once a channel is activated, and as long as it is WhatsApp, we can automate the creation of new leads or contacts.

Click on “Settings” and within “Unknown conversations” we can select how we want these new contacts to be added to our Zoho CRM.

The “First conversation message” section will allow us to define the automated welcome message we want for each of the channels.
