Custom Calendar View for a Custom Module in Zoho CRM

Custom Calendar View for a Custom Module in Zoho CRM

Hello everyone,

I’m looking to create a calendar view (monthly grid, similar to Google Calendar) for a custom module in Zoho CRM, based on a date field within that module.

The goal is to have a highly customized visual layout — colors depending on the record type, compact display, direct click-through to the record, etc. — well beyond what the native List/Kanban views offer, since custom modules don’t seem to have an equivalent calendar view.

I’d be interested in hearing about your experience with the different possible approaches, including their respective pros and cons:

  • Custom widget (HTML/JS, using a library such as FullCalendar.js), linked through a button or Web Tab
  • Canvas for list views, if applicable to this use case
  • Embedding an existing view from another Zoho product (e.g. Creator) via iframe/Web Tab
  • Any other approach you may have successfully implemented for a similar use case

Based on your experience, what would be the most robust and maintainable solution for this type of requirement: a highly customized calendar view for a custom Zoho CRM module?

Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Adrien
