When to use this.
The "List Contacts (Zoho CRM)" action enables users to retrieve a paginated list of contacts stored in Zoho CRM, facilitating efficient management of customer relationships. Users can specify input parameters such as "limit" to define the number of contacts returned (in multiples of 25), "sort_by" to organize records based on specific fields, and "sort_direction" to determine the order of sorting. The output includes essential contact information, including contact ID, names, email addresses, phone numbers, account details, and timestamps for creation and modification, all categorized under semantic types like id, fullName, email, and date. This action is particularly useful for CRM administrators and sales teams looking to streamline contact management, enhance customer engagement, and generate targeted outreach campaigns.

FAQ.
Is this real-time?
Yes. Synchronous actions return in ~1–4 s. Long-running work uses async polling (see status 504 → switch to async).
Do I get charged on failure?
No. Verified failures cost zero credits. Provider miss / 5xx / timeout cascade to the next provider in the waterfall when applicable.
Does it work with Claude / Cursor via MCP?
Yes. Add the texau MCP server to your client config, then call `texau__zoho crm-...` directly.
What CRMs can I push results to?
HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and GoHighLevel are bidirectional. Smartlead, Instantly, Lemlist, HeyReach, Apollo Sequences, and Reply.io for outbound.
