  • Stuck refreshing the API access tokens? This forum thread cracks the code on "invalid_code" errors. Learn to identify the culprit and follow the steps (with handy documentation links!) to keep your connection running smoothly.
  • @Anonymous User uncovered a bug with ZDK.Client.navigateTo(). Zoho acknowledged the issue and swiftly rolled out a fix across all data centers. Join the conversation to learn how this community member's diligence led to a smoother CRM experience for everyone! 

Developers ZUG Cliq Channel

  • Our community members' (@Anonymous User, @Anonymous User, @Anonymous User) Deluge expertise came in handy when @Anonymous User wanted help in creating a custom function in Zoho Books. Check out their solutions here.
  • @Anonymous User, one of our consistent community contributors, needed a solution to validate a subform data in CRM via mobile app, for the sales team to use on the field. Before the community came up with answers, in true Eric fashion, he found a solution and shared it with everyone. This truly embodies the spirit of growing together with the community. Please check out his requirement and the solution here. If you have an alternative solution, feel free to share it in the same thread to benefit the community.
  • When @Anonymous User was trying to figure out a solution to get related records list through a custom function, @Anonymous User pitched in with two methods with its pros and cons.
  • This is a classic case of how one can utilize the power of community. As Sharan sought for solutions to address the 'run time error' in Deluge, @Anonymous User, @Anonymous User, and @Anonymous User shared their tips and best practices. If you are using Zoho Deluge, please set aside a few minutes to understand these solutions. If you have a better alternative, go ahead and share yours in the same thread.
