Zoho Marketing Automation is part of Zoho Marketing Hub — a full marketing automation platform that enables businesses to automate lead nurturing, score leads based on behaviour and demographics, run multi-channel campaigns (email, SMS, social, web), and integrate seamlessly with Zoho CRM. Unlike basic email marketing tools, Marketing Automation provides lead scoring, behavioural triggers, advanced nurture workflows with branching logic, and closed-loop attribution to revenue.
Lead scoring assigns numeric scores based on explicit criteria (demographics, form responses) and implicit criteria (website visits, email engagement, content downloads). Nurture workflows deliver targeted content through multi-step sequences triggered by behaviour or score. Multi-channel support means email, SMS, social, and web touchpoints feed into a unified contact profile. Native Zoho CRM integration ensures sales sees every marketing touchpoint and marketers see which campaigns drive revenue.
