 What is the Activities Module in Zoho CRM?

The activities module is the section where you create and manage business tasks, events, and calls. Every activity has very important information like date, time, priority level, and notification parameters related to the record or business activities.

Tasks

Tasks can be defined as pieces of work that need to be completed before a set deadline. In Zoho CRM, the user can create recurring tasks and set task reminders.

Meetings

Meetings are activities that happen at a certain time and in a certain place. In ZOHO, you have the option to create recurring meetings, set reminders, and invite people to the meeting.

Calls

You have the option to keep track of calls from leads and customers along with the initiated, or follow-up, calls made by sales executives to the leads or customers.

Where to find Activities in Zoho CRM?

The activities tab is available in the CRM dashboard, and within the tab, you can find tasks, calls, and meetings.

You can filter records in Activity View against parameters like date, time, type, etc. You may create filtered views like “Today’s Activities,” “Tomorrow’s Activities,” and “Overdue Activities.” These views can be saved for future reference.
