What is Cadences Studio?
Cadences Studio in Zoho CRM automates and streamlines customer follow-up processes. It enables users to create targeted, sequential communications, like emails, calls, or tasks, based on customer interactions and behaviours. Ideal for sales and marketing professionals, it maintains consistent, personalized follow-ups with leads and prospects until a desired outcome is achieved.
Cadences Studio in Zoho CRM is more than just an automation tool for follow-ups; it's a transformative solution for managing customer interactions.
Previously, a series of responsive follow-ups often meant creating multiple workflows, using different fields and conditions. Cadences Studio streamlines this, enabling you to handle what once needed several workflows with just one cadence.
Consider a case where you're sending multiple emails for an event. You want to stop sending them once a customer replies or the event date passes. In the past, this required setting up many workflows, each with its conditions. Cadences Studio simplifies this by offering a single platform. This single platform does the job of many workflows, saving time and making things less complex.
It's a strategic asset, meticulously designed to enhance your marketing and sales strategies, empowering you to personalize your interactions with every customer, from their first interaction with your follow-up to, ultimately, when you un-enroll them from the cadence.
The true power of Cadences Studio lies in its ability to transform various business scenarios.

Configuration and utilization
Setting up Cadences Studio involves choosing your target audience and configuring up to three types of follow-ups (emails, tasks, and calls), each with specific configuration options to suit your unique campaign needs.
Configuring Cadences Studio is a streamlined process:
- Target audience selection
Choose between manual enrollment or custom views in your chosen module. This allows for precise targeting and effective campaign execution.
- First follow-up configuration
You can configure the first follow-up as either an email, task, or call. You can also choose when the first follow-up should be triggered.
- Responsive follow-up configuration
The successive follow-ups within a cadence can be intricately configured based on the actions taken on the previous follow-up. For instance, if an email in the first follow-up is opened or clicked, you can set the subsequent follow-up to be a personalized call or a task, depending on the customer's interaction.
