Components used : Slash command, message action.

Slash Command:

To create a task in Zoho CRM directly from a chat window in Zoho Cliq, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Create a command

The first step is to create a command in Zoho Cliq that allows users to create a task directly from a chat window. To do this, go to your profile, then navigate to  Bots & Tools > Integrations > Command > Create Command .

In the command creation window, you will need to enter a name for your command, a description, and choose the access level (Personal, Team, or Org). Once you have done this, save the command.

Next, paste the provided code in the script editor in the integration window:
​
  1. fetchFields = invokeurl
  2. [
  3.  url :"https://www.zohoapis.com/crm/v2/settings/fields?module=Tasks"
  4.  type :GET
  5.  connection:"CONNECTION LINK NAME"
  6. ];
  7. //info fetchFields;
  8. allFields = fetchFields.get("fields");
  9. priorityList = list();
  10. statusList = list();
  11. for each  field in allFields
  12. {
  13.  if(field.get("api_name") == "Priority")
  14.  {
  15.   pickListValues = field.get("pick_list_values");
  16.   for each  pickList in pickListValues
  17.   {
  18.    displayName = pickList.get("display_value");
  19.    priorityList.add({"label":displayName,"value":displayName.replaceAll(" ","_")});
  20.   }
  21.  }
  22.  else if(field.get("api_name") == "Status")
  23.  {
  24.   pickListValues = field.get("pick_list_values");
  25.   for each  pickList in pickListValues
  26.   {
  27.    displayName = pickList.get("display_value");
  28.    statusList.add({"label":displayName,"value":displayName.replaceAll(" ","_")});
  29.   }
  30.  }
  31. }
  32. inputs = list();
  33. inputs.add({"type":"text","name":"task","label":"Task Name","hint":"Enter a subject","placeholder":"","min_length":8,"max_length":100,"mandatory":true});
  34. inputs.add({"type":"date","name":"date","label":"Due Date","placeholder":"Choose a due date","mandatory":false});
  35. modulesList = list();
  36. modulesList.add({"label":"Lead","value":"lead"});
  37. modulesList.add({"label":"Contact","value":"contacts"});
  38. inputs.add({"type":"select","name":"module","label":"Type of module","placeholder":"Choose a module","trigger_on_change":true,"options":modulesList});
  39. inputs.add({"type":"textarea","name":"description","label":"Description","hint":"Enter description","placeholder":"","min_length":0,"max_length":1000,"mandatory":false});​
  40. inputs.add({"type":"select","name":"priority","label":"Priority","placeholder":"Choose a priority","mandatory":false,"options":priorityList});
  41. inputs.add({"type":"select","name":"status","label":"Status","placeholder":"Choose a status","mandatory":false,"options":statusList});
  42. return {"type":"form","title":"Create a task","hint":"Name the task and assign a user","name":"createTask","button_label":"Create","actions":{"submit":{"type":"invoke.function","name":"createTask"}},"inputs":inputs};

Note : Make sure to replace the connection link name

Creating a connection:
  • Click on the connections button on the top right of the code editor.
  • Click on the Create Connection button
  • In default services, select the Zoho OAuth service and enable the following scopes:
    • ZohoCRM.modules.ALL
    • ZohoCRM.settings.ALL
  • Now authorize the connection

Step 2: Create a Form Function

 The second step is to create a form function that will handle the creation of the task in Zoho CRM. To do this, navigate to  Bots & Tools > Integrations > Functions > Create , and name your function " createTask ". Add a description and select the function type as form.

Then, paste the provided code in the form submit handler, which will handle the form submission and create a task in Zoho CRM.

  1. info form;
  2. paramsMap = map();
  3. labelList = list();
  4. formValues = form.get("values");
  5. module = formValues.get("module").get("label");
  6. subject = formValues.get("task");
  7. labelList.add({"Subject":subject});
  8. paramsMap.put("Subject", subject);
  9. description = formValues.get("description");
  10. if(description.length() > 0)
  11. {
  12.  labelList.add({"Description":description});
  13.  paramsMap.put("Description", description); 
  14. }
  15. dueDate = formValues.get("date");
  16. if(dueDate.length() > 0)
  17. {
  18.  dueDate = dueDate.toString("yyyy-MM-dd");
  19.  paramsMap.put("Due_Date", dueDate);
  20. }
  21. else 
  22. {
  23.  dueDate = "-";
  24. }
  25. labelList.add({"Due Date":dueDate});
  26. priority = formValues.get("priority");
  27. if(priority.keys().size() > 0)
  28. {
  29.  priority = priority.get("label");
  30.  paramsMap.put("Priority", priority);
  31. }
  32. else 
  33. {
  34.  priority = "High";
  35. }
  36. labelList.add({"Priority":priority});
  37. status = formValues.get("status");
  38. if(status.keys().size() > 0)
  39. {
  40.  status = status.get("label");
  41.  paramsMap.put("Status", status);
  42. }
  43. else 
  44. {
  45.  status = "Not Started";
  46. }
  47. labelList.add({"Status":status});
  48. if(module == "Lead")
  49. {
  50.  leadID = formValues.get("lead").get("value");
  51.  paramsMap.put("What_Id", leadID);
  52.  paramsMap.put("$se_module", "Leads");
  53.  labelList.add({"Lead":formValues.get("lead").get("label")});
  54. }
  55. else if(module == "Contact") 
  56. {
  57.  contactDetails = formValues.get("contact").keys();
  58.  if(contactDetails.size() > 0)
  59.  {
  60.   contactID = formValues.get("contact").get("value");
  61.   paramsMap.put("Who_Id", contactID);
  62.   labelList.add({"Contact":formValues.get("contact").get("label")});
  63.  }
  64.  assciatedModule = formValues.get("contactModule").get("value");
  65.  if(assciatedModule == "account")
  66.  {
  67.   choosenModule = "Accounts";
  68.  }
  69.  else 
  70.     {
  71.   choosenModule = "Deals";
  72.     }
  73.  accountOrDealID = formValues.get(assciatedModule).get("value");
  74.  paramsMap.put("What_Id", accountOrDealID);
  75.  paramsMap.put("$se_module", choosenModule);
  76.  labelList.add({choosenModule:formValues.get(assciatedModule).get("label")});
  77. }
  78. params = map();
  79. params.put("data", [paramsMap]);
  80. createTask = invokeurl
  81. [
  82.  url: "https://www.zohoapis.com/crm/v2/tasks"
  83.  type: POST
  84.  parameters: params+""
  85.  detailed : true
  86.  connection: "CONNECTION LINK NAME"
  87. ];
  88. info createTask;
  89. if(createTask.get("responseCode") == 201)
  90. {
  91.  response = {"text":"### Task has been created successfully 👍","card":{"theme":"10"},"slides":[{"type":"label","data":labelList}],"buttons":[{"label":"View","action":{"type":"open.url","data":{"web":"https://crm.zoho.com/crm/tab/Tasks/"+createTask.get("responseText").get("data").toMap().get("details").get("id")}}}]};
  92. }
  93. else 
  94. {
  95.  response = {"text":"Something went wrong with the integration. Please try again after some time!!!","type":"banner","status":"failure"};
  96. }
  97. return response;

Step 3: Update with Form Change Handler

The third step is to create a form change handler that will update the task details as the user fills out the form. To do this, navigate to the form change handler and paste the provided code in the script editor.

  1. targetName = target.get("name");
  2. info targetName;
  3. formValues = form.get("values");
  4. info formValues;
  5. actions = list();
  6. if(targetName == "module")
  7. {
  8.  modulesList = {"task","description","date","module","priority","status"};
  9.  allKeys = formValues.keys();
  10.  for each  key in allKeys
  11.  {
  12.   if(!modulesList.contains(key))
  13.   {
  14.    actions.add({"type":"remove","name":key});
  15.   }
  16.  }
  17.  fieldValue = formValues.get("module").keys();
  18.  if(fieldValue.size() > 0)
  19.  {
  20.   label = formValues.get("module").get("label");

  40.     leadId = lead.get("id");
  41.     leadsList.add({"label":leadName,"value":leadId});

Message Action

Besides the Command method, you can also use Message Actions to create a task in Zoho CRM directly from a chat. To do this, navigate to  Bots & Tools > Integrations > Message Action > Create , and create a new message action.

In the message action creation window, you will need to enter a name, description, and choose the access level. Then, paste the provided code in the script editor.

  1. description = message.get("text");
  2. if(description.length() >= 1000)

This code will create a message action that you can use to create a task in Zoho CRM. Once used on a message, the createTask function created earlier will handle the task creation process (and the message will automatically be entered as the task description).

In summary, by following these steps, users can create a task in Zoho CRM directly from a chat in Zoho Cliq using either Command or Message Action. This can save time and streamline the workflow for teams that use both Zoho Cliq and Zoho CRM.
