Auto-Log Emails to Zoho CRM

Every outbound and received email is automatically logged to the deal/contact

Sales teams send dozens of emails daily but rarely log them to CRM. This automation captures all emails (sent and received) and logs them to Zoho CRM, keeping your deal timeline complete and auditable.

Email is where deals happen, but most emails never make it into Zoho CRM. Sellers reply to emails, have conversations, but forget to log them. Your CRM shows no activity, making forecasting unreliable and handing new reps zero context when deals change hands. This automation connects your team's email account (Gmail or Outlook) to Zoho CRM. Whenever a rep sends an email to a prospect or receives one from a prospect, the automation: (1) reads the email, (2) identifies which Zoho contact/deal it relates to using recipient email or subject line matching, (3) logs the email as an activity/note in that contact's or deal's timeline. You configure which email accounts to monitor and which Zoho instances to log to. The automation runs in real-time (as emails arrive). Example: Your rep Sarah sends a proposal email to prospect john@acme.com. Within 30 seconds, Nora logs that email to the 'Acme Corp' deal in Zoho CRM. Two days later, John replies. Nora logs his reply to the same deal. Your deal timeline is now complete and auditable.

How it works

  1. Nora monitors your Gmail/Outlook for sent and received emails
  2. Reads email headers, body, and recipient addresses
  3. Matches email recipient to a Zoho CRM contact or deal
  4. Creates an activity/note in that contact's or deal's timeline
  5. Attaches email content or PDF for reference
  6. Tags the activity with email type (outbound, inbound, reply)
