Rate leads by your own rules in Zoho CRM

You state the rules, such as "Healthcare with over 50 employees is A", and the Zoho CRM AI Assistant applies them to your leads' field values and proposes a rating or tag for each. Once you approve, it writes the rating or adds the tag.

Zoho CRM AI Assistant is a Chrome extension that opens beside Zoho CRM. Tell it what you want to do in plain language, and it works with your CRM for you. Try Plus free for 14 days, then stay on Free forever.

the problem

Every rep rates leads by gut feeling

The Rating field is there, but one rep sets it for anyone who answered the phone and another never touches it. You know which leads matter: the right industry, the right size, the right country. Nobody has the time to go through the list and apply that the same way to every lead.

the solution

State the rules once, review the grades, approve

Write the rules the way you would explain them to a new rep:

Rate open leads by these rules. Industry is Healthcare and No. of Employees over 50 is A. Healthcare under 50 is B. Everything else is C. After I confirm, set Rating to the grade.

It reads the fields your rules name, applies the rules to each lead and shows the result with the reason, such as "Healthcare, 80 staff". Leads where a field the rule needs is empty are listed apart, not graded.

When you approve, it writes the grade to the field you name, such as Rating or a custom picklist, or adds a tag such as "Grade A". The field must already offer the grades as values: if your Rating picklist has no A, B and C, add them in Zoho first, or use a tag. It uses only field values. It does not read emails or notes for this, and it does not invent a score of its own.

To use the same rules next time, ask it to save them as knowledge.

  • Reads leads and the fields your rules use.
  • Updates the rating field or adds tags only after you approve.
  • A lead with an empty field the rules need is left for you, not graded.

Every new account gets 14 days of Plus free — no card, nothing to claim — and then settles onto Free, which is permanent. In the side panel every plan has the same safety controls and supported actions, and they differ in how much you can ask for each week. The MCP connector is included in every paid plan (Plus, Pro and Max) and in the 14-day Plus trial, with the same 10,000 tool calls a month on each.

How to do it by hand in Zoho CRM

You can do this in Zoho CRM yourself. Here are the steps.

  1. Open the Leads module and create a custom view for one rule: Industry is Healthcare and No. of Employees is greater than 50.
  2. Select the leads and use Mass Update to set Rating.
  3. Repeat with a new view for each rule.

For two or three rules this works. With more rules, overlapping conditions and empty fields, keeping the views right is where it gets slow.
