STAGES

Your agent calculates the likelihood of closing deals. This gives you a realistic view of your upcoming revenue.

HUMAN

Manual review required

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically change my CRM stages?

    No. The AI identifies the correct stage and suggests the move, but you have to be the one to actually update the record in Zoho.

  • 02

    Does the AI delete any of my deals?

    No. The AI only reads your pipeline data to provide analysis. It has no capability to delete records.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which pipelines exist?

    It uses the connection to pull a full list of your pipelines so it knows exactly what stages are available.

  • 04

    Can I ask about specific deals?

    Yes. Once the AI has read your pipeline data, you can ask it about specific deals or groups of deals.

  • 05

    Will this work if I have custom stages?

    Yes. The AI reads your specific pipeline configuration, so it understands whatever custom stages you have set up.
