What Does Not Transfer

closeZoho ecosystem integrations (Books, Desk, etc.)

Zoho ecosystem integrations are specific to the Zoho platform. If you use Zoho Books, Desk, or SalesIQ alongside CRM, evaluate whether Skode CRM native invoicing and Skode Flow messaging cover those needs.

closeZoho Deluge scripts

Deluge is Zoho proprietary scripting language. Custom Deluge scripts cannot run outside Zoho. Evaluate whether Skode CRM automations and API can replicate your custom logic.

closeBlueprint workflows
