Watch To Learn How Zia Notifications Can Transform Your Zoho CRM
What Are Zia Notifications?
Zia is the built-in AI assistant for Zoho CRM. Think of her like a super-attentive project manager who quietly flags the things that matter. When enabled, Zia can monitor your CRM activity and gently remind you when something needs attention—before it slips through the cracks.
What Zia Can Notify You About
Here’s what Zia keeps an eye on:
- Unreplied emails from contacts or leads
- Cold deals that haven’t been touched in a while
- Overdue tasks or missed calls
- Sales anomalies or unexpected changes in pipeline behavior
- Inactive leads that haven’t had any activity in a set number of days
One user even described Zia as a “CRM fairy godmother”—a little magical nudge to help you stay on top of your business relationships.
How to Set Up Zia Notifications
- Go to Settings in your Zoho CRM.
- Click on Zia and select Notifications.
- Choose what you want to track—emails, tasks, deals, etc.
- Decide how you want to be notified:
- Inside Zoho CRM
- By email
- Through Zoho Cliq (great for teams!)
Bonus tip: Turn on anomaly detection to flag deals that are underperforming compared to similar records. It’s like having predictive insights baked right into your sales dashboard.
A Real-Life Example
One of our clients forgot to follow up with a lead. Zia flagged the inactivity, and they sent a quick check-in. That simple nudge? It led to a signed contract the next day.
Zia didn’t close the deal—but she made sure it didn’t get forgotten.
Who Should Use This
If you're a solo entrepreneur juggling a million things—or managing a team where dropped balls cost you money—Zia is a must. It’s like having an assistant who doesn’t take vacations, doesn’t need sleep, and never lets you forget the follow-up.
Final Thoughts
Zia Notifications are one of those low-effort, high-impact features that every small business should turn on. It’s automation without overwhelming your business. Just practical alerts to help you show up when it counts.
