Once you enable the integration, following elements will be added to your Zoho CRM account. All the visit details will be captured in the Visits tab.
Note:
A Zoho SalesIQ user is allowed to create only one portal of their own. However, a user can be a part of portals created by other users. Each org can associate maximum 5 SalesIQ portals in Zoho CRM.
Once the SalesIQ integration is enabled, the list of available portals will be displayed in the dropdown of your Visitor Tracking page. You can choose the required portal from the drop down and view the list of embed codes available for that particular potral.

As soon as you enable the integration, before any visits are captured, the Visits tab will have a link to "Send to Webmaster".
The link will not be available once the visits starts coming in. Each record in the Visits tab will provide you details on the IP Address of the visitor, the page that was visited, referrer, time spent on the page, etc. These details are captured from the website with the help of Zoho SalesIQ integration and cannot be modified by the users.

Note:
During the setup, the administrator can enable the VisitorNotification option so that users can receive popup notification whenever there is a visitor to your web page. This can also be defined in Zoho SalesIQ from Settings > Integrations > Zoho CRM > CRMConfiguration.
When the visitor tracking code is added in your website, all the visitors will be tracked and you will start getting notifications within Zoho CRM, for the visits. Ideally, it is not feasible to manage the overwhelming visits and the notifications but to help you with that we have Routing Rules.
With Routing Rules, you can manage which visitor details needs to be tracked and route it to sales reps. These sales reps would then be automatically notified whenever a visitor visits your website and their details meet the criteria in the routing rule.
To add routing rules
Zoho SalesIQ integration allows tracking online visitors within your CRM. You will have a portal wise filter, so that you can track the visits data for that particular portal.
You will get notifications for differents types of visitors such as:
Besides Routing Rules you can create your own automated chat triggers based on your business needs. You can increase visitors' conversation by configuring triggers based on specific actions performed by the visitor on your website.
In addition to the regular visitor tracking notification popups, you can also watch out for green dots besides your customers' names to know if they are online on your website. This green dot is designed to appear in the List View and the Details pages of Leads and Contacts. It also appears in the Contacts section of Accounts, Activities and Deals Details pages.

You can select all the leads/contacts online in a particular page at one shot if you want to apply a mass action on those records. To do this, simply select one online lead/contact and click the Select All Online Leads/Contacts in this page link subsequently appears.
