Set up Contact Synchronization from Zoho Desk
After integrating Yeastar P-Series Software Edition and Zoho Desk, you can enable a one-way contact synchronization to synchronize the Zoho Desk contacts to a specific PBX phonebook.
Prerequisites
You have integrated Yeastar P-Series Software Edition with Zoho Desk.
Procedure
- Log in to PBX web portal, go to .
- On the Zoho Desk integration page, turn on Synchronize Contacts Automatically.
- In the Synchronize Contacts From drop-down list, select
the type(s) of contacts to be synchronized from Zoho Desk:
- Contacts: The individuals for whom Zoho Desk users provide support, which are stored in the Zoho Desk module.
- Accounts: The companies or organizations for which Zoho Desk users provide support, which are stored in the Zoho Desk module.
- In the Synchronize to Phonebook drop-down list, select an
existing empty phonebook or create a new phonebook to store the contacts that
will be synchronized from Zoho Desk.Note: The contacts can only be synchronized to an empty phonebook.
- On the Always Query Helpdesk option, decide whether to
search contacts in the Helpdesk real-time.
- If enabled, PBX will query Helpdesk in real time for contact information, and support real-time dial search for Helpdesk contacts in the Linkus clients of the associated extension users.
- If disabled, PBX will only query Helpdesk when there is no matching
information found in the PBX company contacts.Note:
- Enabling this feature will increase API usage, so make sure to monitor your quota accordingly.
- The real-time search is not supported when masked number is enabled.
- Click Save.

Note: This is a one-way sync from Zoho Desk to Yeastar P-Series Software Edition, therefore the associated
phonebook
and the synced contacts are read-only.
Troubleshooting: Fail to synchronize certain
contacts?
Incomplete information of contacts can lead to
synchronization failure. Make sure the following fields are filled in for
the contacts, then perform the directory synchronization again:
- Either the First name or Last name field is filled in.
- At least one phone number-related field is filled in.
