Zoho Tasks Sync

Zoho Mail Suite comes with Zoho Tasks application that helps you create and assign tasks to your colleagues/ team members. Using Tasks, you can manage deadlines in your team/ organization to improve productivity.  Tasks can be created personally or can be added to particular groups inside your organization. 

You can create tasks on Zoho Tasks and sync them with your Zoho Calendar using the two-way sync feature.
