API access to Deluge functions (e.g., email)
Hi, a sorta complicated feature request. I have a Creator db for the membership of a community organization. There are over 100 members, and only a small number of them should have access to the entire list. Those people are users, can log in, and everything works more-or-less fine. But I want to give everyone else read access to just their row in the database. I already have a user-defined Deluge script that allows me to select people in a Creator view and the db will automatically email them their information. Works great. But only I can do it! I want people to be able to provide their email address, then have some system check to see if their email address is present in the database, and if so, run that function. I'm pretty sure it's not possible to do that within Creator right now. (Or is it? I'm not totally sure how stateless forms work...) Alternatively, I can write a PHP script that calls the Creator API. But I think I'd have to have the PHP script send the email, rather than using the existing Deluge script.
So, I'm requesting either:
1. A stateless form that does not require people to be logged into Zoho, but still can access records based on an email key. This sounds like it's probably a real security tangle, so I don't expect it to work.
or
2. API access to user-defined functions. My existing EmailMemberSummary script just needs a string argument, so it should be relatively easy to add this to the existing add/view/modify functions.
Thanks!
