The Zoho CRM integration has a feature that enables you to click on a button or a hyperlink located on a Zoho deal window which will start QuoteWerks and copy all the Account, Contact, and Deal information into a new quote.

Using a QuoteWerks Quote Button

If you have an existing deal that was created within Zoho CRM, you can initiate a new quote for this deal by clicking on the “QuoteWerks Quote” button.

This link will launch QuoteWerks and you will be prompted with a QuoteWerks login window if QuoteWerks was not already running:

Select your user name if it has not already been selected and provide your password.

Once you log into QuoteWerks, information from the deal will be passed to QuoteWerks. This includes the account number, deal id, deal name, contact, and address information.

At this point, you can use QuoteWerks to create the quote, and when you save the quote, the existing deal will be updated with the details from the quote.
