Zia Reminders

Best time to Contact suggestions by Zia helps you in successfully reaching out to your customers. Going a step further, Zia intelligently even sets up reminders for your records based on these Best time to Contact suggestions.

Instead of setting up manual reminders for each activity, you can simply select your list of tasks for the day and let Zia remind you. You don't have to worry about remembering what you should do (and when). Zia will automatically send your reminders for your activities based on their respective Best time to Contact suggestions. Zia not only plans the day for you but it also plans it for the best possible outcome from every action that you do.

You will begin to receive reminders as pop-ups in the top right corner of your screen.


These reminders will pop up 15 minutes prior to the Best time to Contact. From the reminder popup, you can:

  • Call the contact directly from the pop-up if your CRM account has the telephony integration enabled. If not, you can click View to see the record details.
  • Dismiss the reminder altogether
  • Snooze the reminder for 5, 10 or 15 minutes. You can also move the reminder to its next Best time to Contact.
Note
  • The reminders scheduled by Zia work on a daily basis. This means that they are valid only for the particular day when you set the reminder. They will be cleared automatically at 12:00 AM. You must reset them to continue getting the reminders for your activities based on Zia suggested times.
