Reassign deals in Zoho CRM while a rep is on leave

The Zoho CRM AI Assistant moves a rep’s open deals to a colleague for a holiday or leave, with their open tasks, meetings and calls, and can tag them to move back later. It changes owners only once you approve.

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

A rep is away and their deals still close this week

A rep goes on leave, and some of their deals close while they are away. Someone has to own them, take the calls and keep the meetings. Moving the deals by hand is easy to start and easy to get wrong: the tasks stay with the absent rep, and when they return nobody remembers which deals to give back.

the solution

Say who covers, check the list, approve

Name the rep, the colleague and what moves:

Lena Ortiz is on leave for two weeks. Move her open deals to Sam Becker with their open tasks, meetings and calls, and tag them “Lena cover” so I can move them back.

The assistant finds the open Deals owned by the rep and the colleague among your CRM users. It shows the list with each deal’s closing date and how many open tasks, meetings and calls move with it. You can leave deals out before you approve.

When you approve, it changes the Deal Owner to the colleague, moves the open tasks, meetings and calls on those deals to the same person, and adds the tag. When the rep is back, ask it to move the deals tagged “Lena cover” back to her.

  • Reads open deals by owner, their open tasks, meetings and calls, and your CRM users.
  • Changes owners and adds a tag, only after you approve; more than 20 records ask for a final confirmation.
  • Up to 100 deals per request. Closed deals stay with the rep unless you ask.

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 Deals with a custom view for the rep’s open deals.
  2. Select the deals in the list and change their owner.
  3. Open Tasks, Meetings and Calls, filter for the rep’s open ones on those deals, and change their owner too.
  4. Add a tag or write down the list so you can move the deals back.

The deals are the easy part. Finding the open activities on exactly those deals, and remembering what to give back, is where it gets slow.
