UK DVLA Sync for CRM
Introduction
If you’re a UK business handling vehicle or driver-related customer data, integrating DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) records with Zoho CRM can help streamline your contact management. While Zoho CRM doesn’t connect directly to the DVLA, you can manage driver-related records and automate communications through Zoho Campaigns.
This guide walks you through syncing your CRM data (Leads, Contacts, or Custom Modules) with Zoho Campaigns — helping you keep DVLA-related data up to date and compliant with GDPR.
