Most powerful ways to connect OpenAI ChatGPT and Zoho CRM
Zoho CRM + OpenAI ChatGPT + Google Sheets: When a new or updated object (e.g., lead or contact) is created in Zoho CRM, the details are sent to ChatGPT to summarize customer interactions and analyze sentiment. The resulting insights are then logged in a Google Sheets spreadsheet for tracking and reporting.
Zoho CRM + OpenAI ChatGPT + Slack: When a new object is created in Zoho CRM, information is sent to ChatGPT to draft a personalized follow-up email. This draft is then sent to a Slack channel for approval. Once approved (simulated by a message in Slack), Zoho CRM is updated with a note indicating that a follow-up email has been drafted and is awaiting approval.
