  • Check the workflow rule is active and set to Create on the Leads module.
  • Leads imported from a file may not run workflow rules; create one lead by hand to test.
  • Zoho tries a failed call once more after 15 minutes, then gives up.
  • Use the parameter names name, phone, email, city exactly, in lower case.
