Zoho Cliq – Smart, Streamlined Team Communication | Kalki LLP

In a digital-first business landscape, communication must be fast, clear, and actionable. Emails are too slow. Meetings are too scattered. What you need is a hub where conversations, decisions, and workflows come together in real time. That’s where Zoho Cliq steps in.

Designed for instant team messaging and beyond, Zoho Cliq is more than just a chat app — it's a central nervous system for workplace communication. Whether you're managing remote teams, juggling multiple projects, or needing quick decisions, Cliq keeps your organization connected, synced, and productive.

Why Zoho Cliq?

Because today’s work isn’t bound by desks or time zones. Zoho Cliq brings structure to real-time communication. It ensures conversations are easy to follow, decisions are documented, and collaboration happens naturally.

Unlike scattered tools that work in silos, Cliq integrates tightly with your Zoho ecosystem — think CRM updates, task assignments, support alerts, and file shares — all within your chat window. The result? A smart, contextual workspace where work happens through conversation.

Key Features of Zoho Cliq

Here’s what makes Zoho Cliq indispensable for modern teams:

  • Channels & Groups
    Create channels for departments, projects, or client accounts. Make them public, private, or external — your structure, your rules.
  • Message Actions & Reminders
    Mark important messages, set follow-ups, or pin info. You can even schedule messages to go out later — perfect for global teams.
  • Audio & Video Calls
    Initiate 1-on-1 or group calls directly from your chat. Screen sharing and recordings make collaboration seamless.
  • Integration with Zoho & Beyond

  • Bots, Commands & Widgets
