Workflow Suggestions by Zia in Zoho CRM

Zoho CRM Workflow Suggestion by Zia

Workflow Suggestions by Zia, originally released in beta, is now a fully available feature that spots repetitive manual activity in your CRM and proactively suggests a Workflow Rule to automate it.

How it works

Zia analyses recurring actions performed by multiple users. When it notices the same action taken consistently under similar circumstances, it suggests a Workflow Rule that would automate exactly that. Suggestions apply to the Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals modules.

Viewing and acting on a suggestion

  1. You'll be notified via the Zia icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  2. Preview it from the notification, or under Setup, Automation, Workflow Rules, View Suggestion.
  3. Adjust criteria or actions if needed, then click Create as Workflow.
Note: Users need the Manage Automation permission to view suggestions. This is enabled by default and can be disabled under Setup, General, Zia, Zia Recommendation.

A related feature: Macro Suggestions

Zia also offers Macro Suggestions, working the same way but at an individual level, for actions you personally repeat across records.
