Easy Ways to Kill Spam in Your Online Community

Posted on by

In our earlier blog posts, we spoke about various features that help in
tailoring your online community for a better user engagement and
branding. Once you popularize your forum, the first thing that hits you
is spam. If not effectively prevented, unwanted comments and irrelevant
responses can drive users away and suck your time up. Zoho Discussions
has powerful spam detection and moderation features that we will explore
in this blog post.

Spam Engine: To stop spamming right at the door, Zoho Discussions has a built-in spam
engine, which automatically detects and stops most of the irrelevant
content. This content is labeled and pushed to a moderation queue where
designated forum and portal moderators can approve or reject these
content.
Captcha: Another form of
spamming is repetitive posting of valid content. Zoho Discussions
provides a way to cut this down by adding captcha option for guest
posts.…

Zoho CRM, Invoice & Projects Integration With Gmail Contextual Gadgets

Posted on by

For a while now, we have been stressing the importance of ‘contextual information integration’ where the focus is on user’s data and context and not the application. To demonstrate this, we have integrated several Zoho Apps and users have reaped the benefits of such integration.

Today, we are expanding this to a third party app – Gmail. Earlier this year, along with Google Apps Marketplace, Google announced Contextual Gadgets for Gmail enabling third party applications to integrate into an email message in Gmail. This falls inline with our approach to contextual integration, so we decided to integrate our Business Apps into Gmail through Gmail Contextual Gadgets.

So, what does this mean to you as a user?

When you receive an email from your customer in Gmail, our CRM Gadget can display the customer information (pulled from Zoho CRM) along with the notes, contact info etc within the email.

James Kimmons in About.com writes about using Zoho CRM & Gmail together.

It’s [Zoho CRM] great, because you not only manage your contacts and prospects in
all of the ways we need and expect in a CRM system, but you can also
create Web forms that drop new contacts and prospects right into the
system from forms on your website.
Zoho is smart, allowing you to integrate Gmail:
The
best of both worlds is available, because Zoho had the foresight to
allow you to use Gmail and integrate your emails with the Zoho CRM
system. Once you’ve set it up, you use Gmail the way you’ve always used
it. I get to continue using all of the things I love about Gmail. But,
every email, in or out of Gmail, attaches itself to the appropriate
contact in the Zoho CRM system.

When I send or receive an email in Gmail that is to or from one of my
Zoho contacts or leads, the email automatically is picked up by Zoho
and becomes a part of that contact/prospect’s record, even though I
never opened Zoho.

story, well “MY” story, back in those days when “Cindy Crawford” was the
rave. (Now don’t go guessing me to be your granny’s pal) I
happened to be a freelancer, good skills, clueless about business intricacies and that
was me. I told my clients I was
passionate about writing and guess what, some customers skipped paying
me, this is what they said to me “Why would you charge to do something you are passionate about”.


So here’s what you do, declare yourself as a “Freelancer” and not a “Free-worker”
