A Territory Assignment Rule in Zoho CRM is an automated condition that assigns records - typically Accounts or Leads - to one or more territories based on field values such as country, state, industry, or account size. Assignment Rules eliminate manual territory sorting and ensure every record lands in the right territory instantly.
A Territory Assignment Rule is a set of filter conditions that Zoho CRM evaluates against a record to decide which Territory it belongs to. When a new Account is created, or when an existing Account is updated, the Assignment Rules run and apply the matching territory.
Rules are built with field conditions: “State equals Maharashtra AND Industry equals Manufacturing” assigns the account to the “Maharashtra Manufacturing” territory. Multiple rules can match a single record, meaning an account can be assigned to more than one territory at the same time.
By default, Territory Assignment Rules run automatically when a record is saved. Administrators can also run the rules manually across all existing records via a batch operation from the Territory Settings page. This is useful after restructuring territories or importing a large batch of accounts.

Yes. If more than one Territory Assignment Rule matches a record, the account is assigned to all matching territories. This is useful for matrix sales teams where a key account needs both a geographic rep and a product specialist.
