Zoho CRM is a customer relationship management platform for managing leads, contacts, deals and sales activity, with a lot of room for customisation. If you run LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms, sending every new lead to Zoho CRM automatically saves you downloading files from Campaign Manager and importing them by hand.
This guide shows you how to send LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to Zoho CRM with LeadsNotify: connect your LinkedIn Page, connect Zoho CRM, choose where leads go, and test it. It takes about five minutes.
Why Send LinkedIn Leads to Zoho CRM?
Zoho CRM assignment rules, workflows and Blueprints only run on records inside Zoho. Sending ad leads in automatically means your process starts the moment the form is submitted.
LinkedIn leads are often your most valuable leads: decision makers, with company and job title already filled in from their profile. They are also the easiest to lose, because they wait in Campaign Manager until someone remembers to download them.
How to Send LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to Zoho CRM (About 5 Minutes)
Before you start, you need: a LeadsNotify account on any plan, free included, admin access to the LinkedIn Page that runs your lead gen forms, and your Zoho CRM login.
Step 1: Connect Your LinkedIn Page
Log in to LeadsNotify. Open Connectors in the top menu and choose Linkedin. Click Connect To Linkedin, sign in, tick the Pages you run lead gen form campaigns from, and approve the permissions LinkedIn asks for.
Every Page you ticked shows as CONNECTED. Adding another Page later? Click Connect To Linkedin again and tick the new Page, leaving the connected Pages ticked. Already connected? Skip to step 2.
Step 2: Create a Zoho CRM Notifier
Go back to the dashboard. Under Create a new notifier, make sure the LinkedIn tab is selected, type “zoho” in the search box, find Send leads to Zoho CRM and click Create notifier.
Step 3: Pick Your Page and Lead Gen Forms
The Create Notifier screen has two sides. The Trigger on the left is where leads come from. The Action on the right is where they go.
In the Trigger panel, choose your LinkedIn Page under Select Page, then pick one or more lead gen forms under Select Form. LeadsNotify then lists the fields on those forms, such as first name, last name, email, company name and job title.
Only active forms are shown. If a form is missing, check that the form and its campaign are active in Campaign Manager.
Step 4: Connect Zoho CRM
In the Action panel, connect your Zoho CRM account. There is no key to copy: you sign in to Zoho CRM and allow access.
- In the Action panel, click the green Click here to connect your Zoho account button.
- Zoho asks you to sign in, then shows the organization and the data LeadsNotify wants to access.
- Accept the request. You return to LeadsNotify, which loads your Zoho CRM fields, including custom fields.
Step 5: Choose Where Leads Go, Then Submit
Match each lead form field to the Zoho CRM field it belongs in. Custom fields you created in Zoho are available too. Then click Save.
Tick Email me when a lead fails so you hear about it if a lead can’t be delivered, then click Submit. Your notifier appears under My Notifier, and the green switch means it’s live.
Step 6: Send a Test Lead and Check Lead Delivery
After you submit the notifier, LeadsNotify offers to send a test lead through it. You can also do this later: open My Notifier, click Edit on the notifier, then click TEST NOTIFIER.
Open the Leads module in Zoho CRM and search for the test lead. If the test lead is there with the right details, the notifier is working.
Want to test with a submission from LinkedIn itself? In Campaign Manager, open your ad account, go to Content & Assets > Lead generation forms, click More next to the form and choose Send Test Lead. Use a real email address you own.
Then open Lead Delivery in LeadsNotify. Every attempt is listed with the Page, the form, the destination and a status of Delivered or Failed, and the Response column shows the exact reply from Zoho CRM. Our guide to the lead delivery status dashboard walks through every column.
Tips for Getting More From LinkedIn Leads in Zoho CRM
- Use a Zoho CRM assignment rule to route new leads to the right owner by region or product.
- Map the form name to the Lead Source or a custom field so you can report on each campaign.
Troubleshooting the LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to Zoho CRM Integration
Start with the Response column in Lead Delivery. It shows the exact reason Zoho CRM gave for a failed lead.
| What you see | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No leads arriving at all | The LinkedIn Page shows DISCONNECTED, often after an admin role changes | Connectors > Linkedin > Connect To Linkedin, and tick the Page again |
| Your form isn’t in Select Form | Only active forms are shown | Check the form and campaign status in Campaign Manager, then reopen the notifier |
| Leads stopped after you edited the campaign | The campaign now uses a different lead gen form | Edit the notifier and select the new form |
| Record rejected | A field marked mandatory in your Zoho layout was not mapped | Map a value to every mandatory field |
| A delivery shows Failed | Zoho CRM refused the lead | Open Lead Delivery and read the Response column for the reason |
