Say goodbye to monotony in sales. Say hello to automation.
In many organizations, a large portion of a salesperson's time is spent on routine administrative activities rather than on sales or customer interactions. This work often consists of sending follow-up emails, creating task lists, and filling out paperwork. While each of these routine activities plays a crucial role in your sales process as a whole when carried out manually, they can become a bottleneck to achieving your sales targets. This, in turn, results in process delays and demotivation. If

insertCSV - Blank Fields
I am writing a bunch of CRM fields in to a CSV using the insertCSV function. My issue is if the field is blank. Instead of inserting nothing, it inserts the word "null".

Best solution for inputting a dictionary/map object as a CRM variable.
What I have in mind is to create a dictionary/map object that assigns a 15 digit code to all numbers from 1-1000. Essentially, I'm going to use the "number" of a record to assign it one of these 15 digit codes. I.e. let's say my dictionary looks like so: barcodes_map = { 1: "XXXXXXXX", 2: "XXXXXXXY", 3: "XXXXXXYZ", etc } You get the point. I'm just mapping all integers from 1-1000 to a code. The purpose of this is that when a record is created, I should be able to invoke a workflow that takes

Workflow rule not being triggered
I have a custom function for my Quote module that creates a discount total from individual line items discount values and puts it back into a field in the record - and is then printed out on the quote.

Running custom button on multiple records, and working with multiple fields from those records.
We recently made a custom button to apply a function to multiple records. At first we ran into some hiccups making it, because selecting multiple records would pass in all their values as a string, but we figured out how to fix it, by doing the following: name_list = names.toList("III"); After delimiting the names using pipes, we were then able to loop over the names of the list into an array. However, my question is how to deal with it when I'm taking multiple fields from the selected records.

We need a way to prevent a user creating an Account from the Deal module (we renamed this Opportunity in our system).

Currently in Zoho the user can type in the name of the account and if it's there they can select. HOWEVER... if it's not there and they type in a name Zoho will automatically create the account. Zoho says it will create an account and so the sales person thinks this is
How do I Set Margins for Invoices?
Hi, I'm trying to create a customized invoice in Zoho CRM based on the invoice template we currently use, which is a Word document.
