Contacts

Zoho Assist enables Admins to import their customer contacts into the Zoho Assist console, allowing technicians to easily invite customers to remote sessions either using their email addresses or by selecting their names in the console. Users can also select a contact to look up reports of their previous sessions for auditing and billing purposes. Admins can import contacts from their Google account, Zoho CRM account, or as .csv or .vcf files.

Note: Contacts, whether imported or created by Super Admins and Admins, can be modified or removed by any member within the organization.
