Full walkthrough — what's in this video
Zoho is one of the world's most popular CRM stacks. This walkthrough shows how Go4whatsup connects to Zoho CRM, Bigin, Desk and Books so every record-level event triggers the right WhatsApp message — and every reply lands back in Zoho.
00:00 — The Zoho + WhatsApp problem
Zoho ships an SMS extension and an email tool, but no native WhatsApp module. Most teams duct-tape it together with Zapier — slow, expensive, and breaks every time Zoho updates its API. Go4whatsup ships a native Zoho integration that uses OAuth, not Zapier, and updates in real time.
00:25 — One-click OAuth setup
Go4whatsup admin → Integrations → Zoho → Connect. Login with your Zoho admin account. Approve the OAuth scope (CRM read/write, Desk read/write, Books read). Done. The connection is live in under 30 seconds.
01:00 — Lead automation: new lead → WhatsApp greeting
Trigger: Zoho CRM Lead.Status = 'Not Contacted'. Action: send WhatsApp template lead_welcome_v3. Within 60 seconds of the lead being created in Zoho, they receive a personalized WhatsApp from your assigned sales rep — with their name, the source they came from, and a Calendly link to book.
01:45 — Deal-stage triggers
When a Zoho CRM Deal moves to 'Quote Sent', the quote PDF is delivered to the contact's WhatsApp. When the deal moves to 'Negotiation', a follow-up template fires after 24h. When 'Won' — the onboarding kickoff template fires.
02:20 — Zoho Desk → WhatsApp ticket routing
New ticket in Zoho Desk → customer is messaged on WhatsApp with the ticket number and ETA. Replies on WhatsApp post back as ticket comments in Desk. Agents work entirely from the Desk UI; the customer only sees WhatsApp.
03:00 — Bigin and Books
Bigin (small-team CRM): pipeline-stage triggers same as CRM. Books: invoice sent + payment reminder + receipt all go to WhatsApp. Watch the demo to see the full flow.
