Web Tabs
Using Web Tabs in Zoho Mail, you can effortlessly access other external applications, tools, and websites—all within the Zoho Mail interface—eliminating the need to switch between multiple browser tabs. This provides a seamless workflow where you can integrate frequently used platforms such as your CRM, to-do list, cloud storage services, or even custom URLs. Whether you are referring a document in WorkDrive, monitoring tickets in Zoho Desk, or collaborating with a third-party chat application, Web Tabs make it possible to keep everything centralized and within reach.
Note:
- The Web Tabs feature is being rolled out in a phased manner and may not be available to all users at this time.
- Certain websites prevent their content from being embedded in other applications, which can cause them to fail to load within Web Tabs in the Zoho Mail interface.
- Additionally, if your browser blocks third-party cookies, certain sites might not display or function properly inside a Web Tab.
