Zoho CRM already holds your leads, your deals and what your team wrote after every call. This connector lets you ask it the questions nobody built a report for, from your own AI assistant: where this week’s leads came from, what the open pipeline is worth, and what customers keep bringing up.
Which campaigns brought the leads that turned into closed deals this quarter?
I can’t see your Zoho CRM and Zoho Marketing Automation. Download the campaigns and the deals with their lead source and paste it here, and I’ll work it out.

Which of yesterday’s chat leads still have no owner?
I don’t have access to Zoho CRM and Zoho SalesIQ. If you export yesterday’s chats and the CRM’s leads and share it, I can compare.

How many of this month’s closed deals have a customer with an open Jira ticket?
I’m not connected to Zoho CRM and Jira. Upload the closed deals and Jira’s open tickets as CSV and I’ll try.

What Zoho CRM is
What it reads
Zoho CRM manages your leads, contacts, and deals across the sales cycle. It’s the system of record for your pipeline and sales activity.
Leads
Who came in, when, from which source and to which owner, including the custom fields your team added, under the labels they gave them.
Deals
The open pipeline and what it is worth, what has been won, and which deals are sitting there with no amount on them at all.
Notes and calls
What your team wrote down after talking to people, so a question about what customers keep asking has something to answer from.
What it costs to read your pipeline
Pricing
Zoho CRM counts as one connector on your plan, and each Zoho CRM organization you connect counts as one account, however many records it holds or however often you ask. Plans set how many accounts and people you have, not which products you may connect.
The one whose view of the CRM matches the question. The connection sees what that user sees, sharing rules and territories included. An administrator sees the whole pipeline, which is usually what you want and can be more than you mean to share, so choose on purpose.
Will it read the custom fields my team added?
Yes, under the names your team gave them, as long as the settings permission was granted when you connected. Without it the standard fields still arrive and the custom ones quietly do not, so grant all three permissions Zoho lists.
It connected, but the CRM looks almost empty. Why?
Usually the account belongs to a different Zoho data center than your records, or the user cannot see them. Zoho runs separate data centers, and your organization lives in exactly one. Compare one count with Zoho's own list view while signed in as the same user.
What happens when the person who connected it leaves?
The connection is their access, so it ends when their access ends. Connect again as someone who is staying, and the questions work as before.
Is anything copied out of Zoho?
No. Each question is answered from the live CRM when you ask it, and nothing is kept as a copy on our side.

Prepare Northwind’s monthly organic and sales report against last month.
Read Search Console, WooCommerce and Zoho CRM with HeyMetra
Northwind this month: organic clicks +12%, store sales +6%, leads −4%. The click gain came from the new guides, but guide visitors don’t fill in the form; suggest adding a quote form to the guides.
Turn it into the client PDF, one chart per metric.
Setting it up 5 steps. You sign in on the provider, so no password reaches us.
Most of this is Zoho's own sign-in. The step that matters is the first one: choosing whose account authorizes it, because the connection sees exactly what that person sees in the CRM, and not a record more.
1
Decide which Zoho user will authorise it
HeyMetra sees exactly what that user sees. A CRM with territories or role-based sharing shows different records to different people, so the account you sign in with decides the answers, not the plan or the permission switches.
An administrator sees everything, which is usually what a question about the whole pipeline wants, and may be more than you intend to expose. Pick deliberately.
2
Choose Zoho CRM on the Connections screen
It sends you to Zoho's own sign-in page. Your password is typed on Zoho's screen and never reaches HeyMetra.
3
Grant the three read permissions Zoho lists
Modules, organisation and settings, all READ. Modules is the records themselves; settings is what lets HeyMetra read your own field names, so a custom field your team added comes back under the label they gave it.
If you chose read only, nothing on this screen can write. If you chose to allow changes, Zoho also lists CREATE and UPDATE on modules, and never DELETE. A WRITE or ALL scope means you are on a different consent screen than the one HeyMetra asked for.
4
Check the data centre matches
Zoho runs separate data centres (.com, .eu, .in, .com.au and others), and an organisation lives in exactly one. HeyMetra picks up the right one from your sign-in.
This is why signing in with the wrong regional account produces an empty CRM rather than an error: the credential is valid, it is simply pointed at a data centre your records are not in.
5
Add HeyMetra to the assistant you use
Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Antigravity. Your CRM answers there from the live data, and nothing is copied out of it.
When it does not work 3 common problems and how to fix each one.
When Zoho CRM looks wrong here it is almost always about who signed in: a user who cannot see part of the pipeline, a data center that holds none of your records, or a grant that ended when somebody left.
It connects, and the CRM looks empty or much smaller than it is.
The Zoho user who authorised it cannot see those records. It may be a sharing rule, a territory, or simply a different organisation on a different data centre.
Disconnect and connect again as a user who can see them. Comparing one count against Zoho's own list view, signed in as that same user, tells you which of the two it is.
A field the team uses every day is missing from the answers.
Custom fields are read from the module's own definitions, which needs the settings permission. Without it the standard fields still arrive and the custom ones silently do not.
Reconnect and grant all three permissions. Asking your assistant which fields it can see is the quickest way to tell whether a field is missing or merely empty.
Answers stop after a while and ask for a reconnect.
The grant was revoked in Zoho, or the authorising user was deactivated. A connection is that person's access, so it ends when their access does.
Reconnect. If the person has left, connect as somebody who has not. That is why the first step asks you to choose deliberately.
Ask where this week's leads came from
Add the CRM to HeyMetra once, then ask about leads, owners and the open pipeline in plain words.
