Zoho Cliq - Cliq 7.0 Release
Zoho has announced Cliq 7.0, a release grouped into five themes covering conversations, AI, meetings, customisation and scale. The announcement links to four detailed blogs and a webinar rather than listing individual features.
Zoho Cliq 7.0 is a major release announced as five themes, with the individual features documented in separate help guides and blogs.
- Conversation improvements aim to add structure to internal chats, external collaboration and busy channels so threads are easier to follow.
- AI is now built into conversations and workflows rather than being a feature you switch on, so it surfaces context and suggests actions as you work.
- Meeting updates focus on clarity, the viewing experience and support for taking part in live discussions, plus returning to what was discussed afterwards.
- Administration and customisation options give teams more control over setup and day-to-day operation instead of adapting workflows to the platform.
- Scaling organisations get smoother onboarding, better system-wide visibility, stronger accessibility support and improved reliability across devices.
- Each theme has its own detailed help guide, and four companion blogs cover the release, including one on the Cliq developer platform.
- Zoho is running a webinar walking through what is new in Cliq 7.0.
What this means for you
If your team already uses Cliq for internal chat, 7.0 is mostly about making busy channels easier to follow and meetings easier to catch up on. Nothing here forces a change on day one, but it's worth a quick look at the new conversation and admin options before your team discovers them piecemeal.
If you're still weighing Cliq against Teams or Slack, the deciding factor is usually integration: Cliq can post CRM alerts, approvals and bot notifications into channels without extra tools, which matters more than any single feature in this release.
