One-way sync: Map Zoho users to Aloware users
Admins can sync Zoho users to Aloware by clicking the Connect Zoho users in the Integration Settings in the Zoho Card.

- Clicking this button will map Zoho users with Aloware users sharing the same email address
📝 Note – If Admin creates the user in Aloware, it does not create users in Zoho. It should be created in Zoho and synced to Aloware. New users must have the same email address on both platforms for sync.
After the mapping is complete, a confirmation email is sent to company admins (with the integration turned on).
