How to check for valid token
It is fairly easy to create a new token using the api https://accounts.zoho.com/apiauthtoken/nb/create?SCOPE=ZohoCRM/crmapi&EMAIL_ID=Zoho CRM Username or Email ID&PASSWORD=Your Zoho CRM Password But how can I check if I have a token, to see if is valid? If I call the above code every time I need a token, I just get a new token and before I know it, my list of active tokens is quite long. Surely not the best approach, so what is the best practice? Clearly I would like to re-use my token, but if it

Hi, I'm struggling with the currency in the inventory templates in Zoho CRM My currency setting is set to Poland. The format I get is 1 354 zł, It supports 2 decimals but does not display them if I don't have cents in my value.

That would apply to any standard fields using the currency type and not only to custom fields. Any formatting function that I could

Zoho CRM Solutions
We are using the Zoho CRM professional edition with a mail add on and zoho invoice.

Same functions are required for potentials, reports etc. For zoho invoice - we had requested for the amount to be mentioned in words with estimates

How to create a new contact from Cases
I'm finding it difficult to create a new contact from Cases. We are a service management company which caters to the B2C and B2B markets so we use Accounts for our biz customers and Contacts for our B2C customers. In case of a call for a new job from a new customer; I can create a new Account from Cases after lookup fails to find that customer in its list. Similarly in the "Related To" field lookup finds the Contact but one can't search and create a contact on the fly like once can create an account.
Convert/connect Zoho CRM, to Projects, and Invoicing
Is there a way to link each functionality so I don't have to ipload each piece/reenter contact info/etc? For example, once we closed a contact I have the option to convert it to a project. Then if I create an invoice in Zoho Invoice it can be uploaded into a project task. If not, I would LOVE for this feature to be added. It would save me a ton of time.

Upload File via CRM API
I'm using a multi-part POST message to try and get a file attached to a specific record but getting an error. What is the precise HTTP format needed to get a file uploaded and attached to a record with a filename?

Adding pictures business cards in the product tab
I like the new feature added to the leads & contacts (business card pictures) but it got me thinking. It would be nice feature if we could add a picture of each product to the business card in each record, 1 step further would be to let us use that uploaded picture in the list view. Also is it possible to add pictures to the potentials tab?
Purcahse Orders Setup/Template
Purchase Orders The setup is wrong as it shows "BILLING INFO" and "SHIPPING INFO". If you're creating a PO, then the BILL TO in the template should be titled as VENDOR. Then it pull all the address information under the 'chosen' vendor. SHIPPING INFO should be replaced withe the Organization Info - as the recipient of the order. Again, it pulls the address information under the Organization profile. Another suggestion will be to add the BILLING and SHIPPING INFO in the Organization profile.

Not impressed with customer service
We are in Day 3 of a CRM evaluation and to be quite blunt, we are not at all impressed with the customer service at Zoho. It has been impossible to get someone on the phone, messages are not returned and email requests for help are not acknowledged. Am I missing something here? Do we not qualify for support since we are in an evaluation stage? I am looking for experiences of others- I can see the POTENTIAL value of Zoho but at this point it is not even working for us and we can't get any help to
Email field for accounts
Hi everybody, I see that in Zoho you cannot associate one or more email addresses to accounts. You need to create a contact in order to save an email address for an account. In our previous crm we were used to add the company email address to the account record, then create "personal" contacts with their respective email addresses. What is the common practice in ZohoCRM when you want to save (for example) a generic email address (like info at companyname.com) which does not belong to a real contact?
Error making email templates
Error, when you go over 32,000 characters in a template, you can never recover from it no matter how much you delete. Forget Outlook integration that does not work, how about just working with Word. Simple things like cut and paste, resizing photos and being able to copy a template. Forget trying to mess with new things like Twitter and Facebook and focus on making the core product work. This still is like a DOS program after all of these years. How about a preview of a letter that is not in

Edit Product Detail for Quotations/ Sales Order
Hi, This is the worst option i found in ZOHO CRM that if i create a Quotation or sales order and add some product in product detail block.

Presale Question - Email field in Accounts
I'm in the process of migrating from another CRM platform. I see that by default the Accounts section in Zoho does not inlcude an email field. You need to create a contact in order to enter an email address. Our actual CRM platform can save multiple email addresses associated to the a single Account (and not to contacts), which makes sense since the company can have a generic address (eg. info@). We normally put the generic email on the Account then we create contacts for real people. How to do that
