Step-by-step guide
How to connect PostgreSQL to Zoho CRM
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active PostgreSQL account with read/write permissions
- An active Zoho CRM account with API access enabled
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Zoho CRM to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate PostgreSQL
Click "Add Connection" and select PostgreSQL from the app directory. You'll be redirected to PostgreSQL's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.
- Step 03
Authenticate Zoho CRM
Same process for Zoho CRM. Click "Add Connection," select Zoho CRM, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your contacts, deals, and pipeline data. You choose which objects the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new record created in postgresql or new contact created in zoho crm. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create contact in zoho crm. Map the data fields between PostgreSQL and Zoho CRM so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between PostgreSQL and Zoho CRM. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
