// Overview
Zoho Cliq is a team messaging and collaboration platform built into the Zoho ecosystem. It supports channels, direct messages, threaded conversations, audio/video calls, and bots. Where Cliq stands out is its native integration with Zoho CRM, Desk, Projects, and other Zoho apps — deal won notifications, support ticket alerts, and project updates flow directly into Cliq channels without a third-party connector. VoltVave sets up Zoho Cliq, configures channel structure, builds CRM notification bots, and migrates teams from Slack.
// Use Cases
Who needs Zoho Cliq?
Sales Teams
Get a Cliq notification the moment a deal is won, a lead is assigned, or a quote is opened — so your sales team stays informed in real time without checking CRM.
Support Teams
New Zoho Desk tickets appear in the #support Cliq channel automatically. Ticket escalations and SLA breaches trigger urgent alerts to the right team members instantly.
Remote & Distributed Teams
Replace Slack with a tool that doesn't bill per user and integrates natively with your CRM, project management, and email — with audio/video calls included.
Operations & HR
Leave approvals from Zoho People, payroll run completions from Zoho Payroll, and expense approvals from Zoho Expense all post updates to relevant Cliq channels automatically.
// What We Do
How VoltVave implements Zoho Cliq
01
Channel Architecture
Design and create your channel structure — by team, project, product, or region — with the right members, permissions, and naming conventions from day one.
02
Zoho CRM & Desk Bot Setup
Configure bots that post CRM deal updates, Desk ticket assignments, and other Zoho app events to the right Cliq channels automatically — no Zapier required.
03
Slack Migration
Migrate channel structure, message history (where supported), and member configurations from Slack to Zoho Cliq — minimising the disruption of the tool switch.
04
Custom Bot Development
Build custom Cliq bots using Deluge scripting — query CRM data, create tasks, or trigger workflows directly from a Cliq message command.
05
Audio/Video Call Configuration
Set up Cliq's audio/video calling for team meetings and customer calls — including screen sharing, recording, and integration with Zoho Meeting for larger calls.

// FAQ
Common questions about Zoho Cliq
Is Zoho Cliq a good Slack replacement?
For teams already using Zoho products, yes. Cliq covers all core messaging needs (channels, DMs, threads, calls) and integrates natively with Zoho CRM, Desk, and Projects. It lacks Slack's third-party app marketplace depth, but for Zoho-heavy teams, native integration more than compensates.
Does Zoho Cliq include video calling?
Yes. Cliq includes audio and video calls for 1:1 and group calls with screen sharing. For larger webinars and external client meetings, Zoho Meeting integrates with Cliq for a seamless escalation from chat to formal meeting.
Can Zoho CRM send deal notifications to Cliq automatically?
Yes. Zoho CRM's workflow rules can send notifications to Cliq channels directly — no Zapier or Flow required. When a deal is won, moved to a stage, or assigned to a rep, a message fires to the configured Cliq channel.
Is Zoho Cliq included in Zoho One?
Yes. Zoho Cliq is included in the Zoho One subscription alongside CRM, Books, Desk, People, and 40+ other apps — at one per-user price.
Can we migrate our Slack history to Zoho Cliq?
Slack message history export is available for paid Slack plans. We import channel structure and as much message history as Slack's export allows into Zoho Cliq. Direct message history cannot be migrated due to privacy restrictions.
