Conflicts
When both sides changed the same record
- For each two way record type you choose whether Keap or Zoho CRM leads. The leading side always runs first in a sync.
- It only matters when the same record changed in both systems between two syncs. Every other change simply travels.
- A record is never moved backwards by a sync: a paid invoice is not reopened, a decided quote is not undecided.
Between two syncs
The last name of the same contact is changed in both systems
Leading system

FAQ
Questions about Keap and Zoho CRM?
Every answer below is true for the app as it runs today. If something is not covered, ask us and we will answer in plain words.
Contacts, yes: they sync in both directions and you choose which system leads. Opportunities and deals travel one way, in the direction you pick.
No. One already lost before its first sync is not created. An open one follows to won or lost when it closes, and a closed one is never reopened.
Contacts and tags do. Everything about opportunities needs Keap Max Classic, because Keap opens opportunities to other apps only on that edition. On Keap Pro and Max the opportunity rows stay empty and contacts keep syncing.
It is linked when the contact is created, to a Keap company of exactly that name or a new one, and a sync never renames or switches it afterwards.
No. Before anything is created in Keap or Zoho CRM, the platform looks for the same record first and updates that one instead. Records synced before stay linked.
The platform notices on the next sync, pauses the integration and sends you one message with a reconnect button. Reconnecting takes one step, and syncing picks up where it left off without creating anything twice.
From every 30 minutes up to every 3 days, depending on your plan. Every plan includes a 7 day free trial.
