Zoho CRM Q3 2025 Update: New Tools for More Control and Flexibility

Just in time for autumn, Zoho CRM brings a fresh batch of updates! With the Q3 2025 release, Zoho is once again showing how agile, customer-focused CRM software should look. Whether you are new to Zoho CRM or have been using it for years – these innovations are worth a look. From improved automation to more personalization: in this article, we summarize the highlights for you in a compact and practical format.

1. CommandCenter 2.0: Build Dynamic Customer Journeys

With the new version of CommandCenter, Zoho is laying the foundation for even smarter customer journey automation:

  • Stages” instead of modules: Now records from different modules can be grouped into flexible journey phases.
  • Signals instead of triggers: Capture actions across your systems and use them to dynamically control processes.
  • Identifiers & SLAs: Define target-oriented transitions and dynamic relationships between data.
  • Goal setting & sentiment tracking: Analyze how a journey ends for customers and what outcomes are achieved.

 

Whether lead nurturing or onboarding – with CommandCenter 2.0, CRM processes become measurable experiences.

2. Canvas: Even More Freedom in Interface Design

Canvas, der visuelle Layout-Editor in Zoho CRM, erhält mehrere praktische Erweiterungen:

Grid-Komponente: Daten-Elemente rasten automatisch ein – kein manuelles Ausrichten mehr.
Breakpoint-Steuerung: Machen Sie Ihre Canvas-Ansicht responsive für alle Bildschirmgrößen.
Tab-Fokus-Richtung: Bestimmen Sie selbst, in welche Richtung Sie beim Tabben durch Felder springen – auch rückwärts.
 

So gestalten Sie CRM-Ansichten, die nicht nur schön, sondern auch nutzer:innenfreundlich sind.

3. Cadences with WhatsApp & Higher Limits

Follow-ups that don’t annoy but actually help? That’s possible with Cadences. Now available:

  • WhatsApp integration: Include messages directly in sales sequences.
  • More templates, more control: Schedule WhatsApp follow-ups like emails – based on delivery status.
  • Higher limits: So your communication flow doesn’t come to a standstill.

 

A real win for sales and support teams.

4. Smarter Scoring with AI Power

Sales prioritization just got an upgrade:

  • Unified scoring interface for manual and AI-based scoring (Zia).
  • New parameters such as engagement, follow-ups, health.
  • Voice of Customer (VoC) and AI factors like sentiment and intent analysis provide even deeper insights.

 

Result: You recognize which leads are really hot – and when it’s worth taking action.

5. More Clarity, More Control

Some small but important updates round off the Q3 package:

  • New calendar UI with smart week labels and drag-and-drop functions.
  • More export options: CSV with charset selection and XLSX with up to 50,000 records.
  • Outlook integration via Microsoft Graph API: Modern and secure email syncing.
  • Permissions for interaction history: More data protection in team handling.
