Feature Request: API Access for Managing Deluge Functions (with OAuth & Change Tracking)

Feature Request: API Access for Managing Deluge Functions (with OAuth & Change Tracking)

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a thoughtful request that came in from one of our Zoho clients this week. I believe many of us as partners and developers might relate to it.


“One quick item to flag: we’d love an official way to manage Deluge functions via API. Being able to create, update, and delete functions programmatically would make it easier to move changes between environments without the extra clicks. If you could pass that request to the Zoho product team, ideally with OAuth scopes and basic change-tracking, that’d be fantastic. We’re happy to share use cases whenever helpful.”


This is about improving the developer experience, especially for teams working across staging and production setups or managing multiple Zoho environments. As partners, we often have to manually recreate functions, which introduces friction and potential for errors.

It would be great to see support for:

  • API-based creation, updating, and deletion of custom functions

  • OAuth scopes for secure, scoped access

  • Some form of versioning or change-tracking to avoid unintentional overwrites

If anyone else here has faced similar limitations or sees value in this, feel free to chime in. I’d love to hear how you’re currently handling Deluge function migrations or if this kind of API access would benefit your workflow too.

I hope the Zoho teams takes this into consideration for the roadmap. I am happy to provide more details or connect directly if needed.

Thanks,
Abhishek Sharma
