What is Zoho Cliq?
Zoho Cliq is a business communication and collaboration tool that offers:
- 1:1 and group messaging
- Threaded channels for topics or teams
- Voice and video calling
- Built-in bots and slash commands
- Integration with Zoho CRM, Projects, Desk, and more
It’s built for teams that want fast, reliable communication and connected workflows, all in one place.
Feature #1: Integrated Business Chat
Everything you expect, plus a little more.
With Zoho Cliq, your team can:
- Chat in real-time (1:1 or group)
- Create channels by topic, project, or department

It’s all the basics, but smoother, smarter, and designed for business use.
Feature #2: CRM + Project Notifications in Chat
Get updates where you’re already working.
Instead of constantly checking your CRM, project tool, or inbox, Zoho Cliq brings the updates to you:
- Get notified when a new lead comes in
- See when a deal is assigned to you
- Track overdue tasks or project updates in real time
- Customize what gets pushed to which channel
Your chat becomes a live feed of what matters, without switching tabs 10 times an hour.
Feature #3: Custom Bots + Workflows
Your chat assistant just got promoted.
Zoho Cliq supports powerful automation tools like:
- Built-in bots that post updates, reminders, and tasks
- Custom slash commands like /newtask or /addlead
- Interactive widgets and forms to collect info or trigger actions
- Workflows that run directly from a message
You can even build your own bots to connect to third-party tools or internal processes. It’s like giving every team a mini operations assistant, right in the chat.
Turn Team Chat into a Smart Operations Hub
If your current chat tool is just for banter and file drops, Zoho Cliq levels it up. It’s built for real-time communication and real-time execution, perfect for lean, fast-moving small teams.
