    Hi @Deniz Subasi,

    To connect to Zoho CRM and to fetch user data for your Azure AI backend, you can use Azure Data Factory. This service allows you to create a linked service to Zoho, enabling you to perform data integration tasks to target source like storage.  You can set up a pipeline to copy data from Zoho CRM, which can then be processed and utilized as Data source for AI services. 

    1. Copy data from Zoho (Preview) - Azure Data Factory & Azure Synapse | Microsoft Learn
    2. Use your own data with Azure OpenAI Service - Azure OpenAI | Microsoft Learn
    3. Use copilot connectors as Knowledge source

    I hope this helps! Thank you.
