Google Places address mapping for Zoho CRM

Fill cleaner CRM addresses with less manual entry.

Search with Google Places, review the parsed address, choose the best street, city, and province format, then map the final values into Zoho CRM fields.

How it works

From search to mapped CRM fields

The widget keeps address entry inside the CRM workflow. Users select the address destination first, then choose the Google result and map only after reviewing the final values.

Troubleshooting

What to check when setup fails

Most issues come from missing API configuration, billing, API restrictions, or selecting no address group before mapping.

Missing API key

If the widget asks for an API key, open the extension configuration page and save the correct Google Maps API key.

Google Maps does not load

Check that the key is valid, billing is active, API restrictions allow the widget, and the required Google APIs are enabled.

No address field selected

For Contacts and modules with Billing or Shipping fields, select at least one address group before mapping.

Language output looks mixed

Google may return some address components in English or a local format when translations are not available. The widget maps the data Google provides.

Known limitation

What language selection can and cannot control

This sets the right expectation for international address results without interrupting the main setup flow.

Address translations depend on Google

Language selection changes the address results requested from Google. Some street, city, or province values may still return in English or a local format if Google does not provide a translation.

The widget interface remains in English

The language setting affects Google address suggestions and address data only. It does not translate the widget labels or buttons.

FAQ

Common setup questions
