Zoho Campaigns integrates with Zoho Analytics to help you build your mailing lists made out of analyzed data Analytics. The integration lets you import contact data from your database tables into Zoho Campaigns. You can map custom fields in Zoho Analytics to Zoho Campaigns to maintain your contact lists the way you want.
Learn more about how to integrate your Zoho Analytics and Zoho Campaigns.
Step 1: Sync Details
- From the Navigation bar, select the Contacts module. Select Sync Services.
- Click New Sync.
Enter the following details
Sync Description: Give your sync a name.
Database Name: Choose the database you want to sync with.
Table Name: Select the table with necessary contact data.
Choose which rows to import:
All Contacts: All contacts from your Analytics table

Click

Use cases
1. I have a Zoho Analytics query table, can I sync it with a Zoho Campaigns mailing list?
Yes, you can sync a Zoho Analytics query table with your Zoho Campaigns mailing list. Query tables contain data filtered from multiple Zoho Analytics tables based on a Select query. You can import query tables data as contacts into a mailing list.
For example, you have a query table containing details of customers who have purchased your products stored in the tables Sales-2017 and Sales-2018. You can import these customers into a mailing list called "Purchased" in your Campaigns account and use this list to send them newsletters related to product updates.
2. I want to sync contacts who attended the most recent event from a Zoho Analytics table into a mailing list in Zoho Campaigns. How can I do this?
You can add criteria while creating the sync. In the Sync Details page, choose Criteria in the Sync field and add the following criteria:
Events Involved contains Event_Name
Now, only contacts match the above criteria will be synced to your mailing list.
Step 2: Map Your Fields
You can map fields of the table with your Campaign fields, choose a Analytics field and map it with the corresponding Campaign field. Mapping the email address field is mandatory. However, you can add custom fields from your table by checking the New Field option. You can edit or delete a mapped field by clicking the respective icon displayed beside the mapped field.
Use cases
I want to map the Product Category field from a table in Zoho Analytics. I cannot find it under the pre-mapped fields, how can I map it?
You can use the Map more option in the Mapping fields step during sync. Product category is not a default field in Campaigns, so you will need to add a custom field for it. You can do this from the Mapping fields page during Zoho Analytics sync.
- From the Navigation toolbar, select Contacts and then Sync Services .
- Navigate to Map Your Fields page and click Map more .
- Select the required field from Zoho Analytics fields and check the New Field checkbox above Select Campaign Field dropdown.
- A custom field is created and data is imported into that field.
You decide how often data is imported from your table. The data can be retrieved just once, or you can set it to occur daily, weekly, or monthly depending on your requirements.
Select a sync frequency:
- Retrieve Data: It is for a one time import.
- Sync Frequency: Set the import frequency to recur on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Select the data to be retrieved:
- All data: Imports all contacts' data from the table.
- After: Imports only those contacts' data that have been added/modified after the specified date and time.
- Click Initiate.
Note
- Once you set the option for import (All Contacts/Criteria), you will not be able to edit the preferences. To use different criteria, create a new sync.
- To enable sync frequency option, there should be atleast one calander field in your table.
Use cases
1. Can I edit the details of an inactive Zoho Analytics sync?
You cannot edit sync details after saving it. Instead, create another sync implementing whatever changes you need to make in Sync Details page. You can have a maximum of 144 active Zoho Analytics syncs at once.
Sync Detail View
- From the Navigation bar, select the Contacts module.
Select
Sync Services . Then, click Active Syncs.
Hover over the sync and click
View Details .
Edit Field mapping
