Linking two applications without the API or cross application functions

Linking two applications without the API or cross application functions


Just an fYI

Came across a pretty useful method of using other application's forms.....

copy a forms iframe snippet (the one with out signing in!).

Drop it into an html view.

add parameters to the URL like







<iframe
height='500px' width='100%' name='zoho-Daily_Stats' frameborder='0'
scrolling='auto' src='https://www.creator.zoho.com/testy/testapp/form-embed/Daily_Stats/QhqYTxfe0bqCFUVAZqvh3Mufp2txpSXFCJFUMnfn3pEWawSUgUP9DKDZbJuEM03NfynXU0Sb6EgMXSMfudp4fXUaw4Namd2MnUGh/&my_field_value_in_framed_form=<%=input.parameter%>'></iframe>




"testy" is your zoho.adminuser
"testapp is your zoho.appname
&my_field_value_in_framed_form = your value you want to prefill (optional)
input.parameter is the value you pass when opening the html page so like this

http://creator.zoho.com/other_account/otherapp/#View:dash?parameter=string or number I want to pass to the iframe in view

There! Now you are prefilling a form in a completely different application and account!
