How It Works  

The Zoho People Leave Sync extension is designed to automatically keep your Zoho CRM user data current by syncing their leave status directly from Zoho People. It eliminates the need for manual updates and ensures your team's availability is always accurate.

Here's a simple breakdown of the process:

  • Scheduled Updates: The extension runs automatically on a fixed schedule every 8 hours. This ensures that the leave status for all your CRM users is refreshed consistently throughout the day.
  • Automated Data Fetch: During each update, the extension connects with Zoho People to securely fetch the latest leave status for each user.
  • Real-time Status Sync: The fetched leave status is then automatically updated in a single field within the Zoho CRM Users module. This ensures that you can see who is on leave directly from your CRM, without ever having to switch applications.
