Shared Contacts

Zoho TeamInbox helps you manage common contacts for a team in one place, accessible by all the team members. You can add unlimited contacts along with their details in the app. Once the details are saved, the contact details will be available for auto-fill when you compose emails.These shared contacts are grouped under their specific teams, so that all the members can find and access them without any hassles. This ensures that the contacts are managed centrally, without each member having to maintain the same set of contacts, simplifing team communication.
