Activities are the primary way sales and support teams log their interactions with leads, contacts, and accounts, building a complete history of every touchpoint in the customer relationship.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Types of Activities<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho CRM has three activity types. A <strong>Task<\/strong> is a to-do item with a due date and priority, such as &#8220;Send follow-up email&#8221; or &#8220;Prepare demo&#8221;. A <strong>Call Log<\/strong> records a phone call with a duration, outcome, and notes. A <strong>Meeting or Event<\/strong> is a scheduled meeting with a start and end time that can be synced with Zoho Calendar and Google Calendar.<\/p>\n<p>All three activity types are linked to the specific Lead, Contact, Deal, or Account they relate to and appear in the associated record&#8217;s timeline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Activities and Workflow Automation<\/h2>\n<p>Activities can trigger <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/workflow-rule\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Workflow Rules<\/a>. For example, when a Call Log is created with the outcome &#8220;Not Reached&#8221;, a workflow can automatically update the Lead Status to &#8220;Attempted to Contact&#8221; and create a follow-up task for the next day. This reduces manual data entry and keeps records up to date automatically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Industry Example<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Pharmaceutical Sales:<\/strong> A pharmaceutical sales team logs all doctor visits as Activities in Zoho CRM. Each rep logs a Call\/Visit against the doctor&#8217;s Contact record after every detailing visit. The manager reviews a report of Activities by rep per week to ensure minimum visit frequency targets are met. Accounts with no activity in 30 days are flagged automatically via a Workflow Rule and assigned a revisit task.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Related Terms<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/task\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Task<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/call-log\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Call Log<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/meeting-event\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Meeting \/ Event<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/workflow-rule\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Workflow Rule<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/create-task-workflow-action\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Create Task (Workflow Action)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/cadence\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Cadence<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/email-insights\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Email Insights<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\">\n<h3>What is an Activity in Zoho CRM?<\/h3>\n<p>An Activity in Zoho CRM is a logged interaction with a CRM record, including Tasks (to-do items), Call Logs (recorded phone calls), and Meetings\/Events (scheduled appointments).
