Get started with Zoho Cliq

From workplace.zoho.com, log in to your Zoho Workplace account using your email address and password. Navigate to Zoho Cliq from the header. You can also log in to Zoho Cliq using your Workplace account from cliq.zoho.com.

Features that you'll enjoy in Zoho Cliq

By using Zoho Cliq to its fullest potential, you can enhance your organization's productivity and collaborate efficiently. We've highlighted some of the most useful features that Cliq offers its users below:

Multi-chat view

The multi-chat view lets you open multiple chats on the screen at a time. There's no more switching between conversation tabs as you work. Stay updated on all your chats using the multi-chat view in Cliq.

Forked chats

With the fork chat feature, you can create a new chat directly from a specific point in your existing conversation and onboard other colleagues to discuss.

Channels

Cliq Channels are enhanced versions of group chats that allow users to collaborate and connect. These can be used at different levels, whether it's organization-wide or team-specific. Plus, create external channels to communicate with users outside of the organization. You can also assign roles to users in channels and configure the permission settings.

Threads

Organize your conversations and have topic-specific discussions by creating threads for conversations.

Meetings

Collaborate with your team over audio or video anytime using Cliq's meetings. Set up calls with your team instantly, right from your conversation window. You can also share your screen, simultaneously communicate through chat, record the call, and take notes.

Remote work

Experience the ease of collaborating in an office setup, even when you're working remotely. Cliq's Remote Work feature allows you to communicate in real-time and aims to provide the convenience of working in an office setting.

The Remote Work tab offers virtual check-in and check-out, status updates based on specific availability, a live video broadcasting feed, and the ability to instantly engage in meetings. It also facilitates effective project management from a remote workspace.

Integrations

Stay up to date and access data by integrating other Zoho and third-party apps with your Cliq account. For example, integrating your Asana account with Zoho Cliq allows you to track your projects and update the task status from your Cliq window.

Custom bots and tools

Create a tailored Cliq experience by building your own bots and other internal tools. Different bot handlers also come with built-in responses to specific actions or messages.

File storage

Files in Zoho Cliq can be accessed from a single storage space. The file storage limit is restricted to 100 GB per user, but storage add-ons are available.
