Start Free — 30 CreditsThe Problem
Zoho CRM serves 250,000+ businesses globally, but its built-in Zia enrichment feature is limited to basic company information from a single data source. Zoho's enrichment gaps are most visible in phone number coverage, technographic data, and SMB contacts where Zia returns no results. Teams using Zoho end up with incomplete leads and contact modules — missing direct dials, outdated job titles, and no firmographic context for account prioritization. Because Zoho's marketplace has far fewer enrichment integrations than HubSpot or Salesforce, users often resort to manual research or spreadsheet workarounds.
How Cleanlist Solves This
Cleanlist enriches Zoho CRM contacts and leads through a CSV export-import workflow, with a native Zoho integration planned for release in 2026. Export your Zoho contacts module or a specific custom view as CSV, upload to Cleanlist for waterfall enrichment across 15+ providers, and re-import enriched records with mapped fields. Cleanlist fills the specific gaps Zia misses: direct dial phone numbers, technographic data (tech stack, tools used), verified personal work emails, and detailed firmographics (revenue, funding, employee count, SIC/NAICS codes). Every email is verified before the enriched file is ready for import.
Zoho CRM Users Have 40% Lower Phone Data Completeness Than HubSpot or Salesforce Users
In Cleanlist's analysis of 15,000 CRM records across HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zoho, Zoho records had phone numbers present on only 28% of contacts — compared to 47% for Salesforce and 42% for HubSpot. The gap is largely due to Zoho's enrichment ecosystem: HubSpot and Salesforce have dozens of third-party enrichment tools on their marketplaces that append phone numbers automatically, while Zoho's marketplace has fewer than five enrichment integrations. Zoho's built-in Zia enrichment compounds the problem by rarely returning direct dial numbers even for well-known companies. For Zoho users, this means reps are almost entirely dependent on manually sourced phone numbers, creating a major bottleneck for cold-calling workflows. Cleanlist's waterfall enrichment fills this gap by querying phone-specialized providers that Zia does not access, achieving 85% phone coverage on the same Zoho contact sets that had 28% coverage natively.

How It Works
Export Contacts from Zoho CRM
Export contacts, leads, or accounts from your Zoho CRM modules as CSV. Use Zoho's custom views to filter by record owner, lead source, stage, or any custom field before exporting — this lets you target enrichment credits on your highest-priority segments.
Upload and Map Fields in Cleanlist
Upload your Zoho CSV to Cleanlist. The platform automatically detects and maps standard Zoho fields (First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Company, Title). Custom Zoho fields are available for manual mapping.
Choose Enrichment Data Points
Select which data to append: verified email, direct dial phone, mobile number, job title, department, company revenue, employee count, industry, technographics, social profiles, and more. Each data point consumes one credit per successful match.
Waterfall Enrichment Across 15+ Providers
Cleanlist queries multiple providers in sequence for each record, filling gaps that Zoho's built-in Zia enrichment cannot reach. Coverage is particularly strong for SMB companies, APAC contacts, and niche industries where single-source tools underperform.
Download Enriched CSV in Zoho Format
Download the enriched file formatted with Zoho CRM column headers. Cleanlist preserves Zoho's record ID field so re-import updates existing records instead of creating duplicates.
Import Back to Zoho CRM
Use Zoho's Data Migration or Import feature to load the enriched CSV. Zoho matches on record ID or email to update existing records. Enriched fields populate immediately across contacts, leads, and account modules.

What data providers does Cleanlist use?
+

Does the CRM integration work in real-time?
+

How does Cleanlist compare to Zoho's built-in Zia enrichment?
+
Zoho Zia enriches contacts from a single data source and focuses primarily on company-level data (website, employee count, industry). Cleanlist queries 15+ data providers in a waterfall sequence and provides contact-level enrichment including verified personal work emails, direct dial phone numbers, and technographic data that Zia does not offer. The biggest difference is phone coverage: Zia rarely returns direct dials, while Cleanlist achieves 85% coverage.
Will a native Zoho CRM integration be available?
+
Yes. A native Zoho CRM integration is planned for release in 2026. It will support direct OAuth connection, field mapping to Zoho modules, and auto-sync of enriched data — similar to our existing HubSpot and Salesforce integrations. In the meantime, the CSV round-trip workflow takes under 5 minutes for most databases.
Can I enrich both Zoho Contacts and Leads modules?
+
Yes. You can export and enrich records from any Zoho CRM module: Contacts, Leads, Accounts, or custom modules. Each module can be enriched separately with different field selections. When you re-import, Zoho routes records to the correct module based on the file's column structure.
