Deluge Learning Series – Client functions in Deluge | January 2026
We’re excited to kick-start the first session of the 2026 Deluge Learning Series (DLS) with Client functions in Deluge. For those who are new to DLS, here’s a quick overview of what the series is all about:
The Deluge Learning Series takes place on the fourth Thursday of every month. Each session focuses on a wide range of built-in functions and statements available in Deluge and shows how they're used across different Zoho products. Through real-world problem statements and practical use cases, we demonstrate how Deluge helps solve business problems, automate workflows, and improve application logic.
Why are we covering client functions in this session?
Many users rely heavily on server-side workflows and approvals, but modern applications also need instant responses without needing to save data or refresh the page. This is exactly where client functions come in.
We planned this session because client functions help you:
- Improve user experience
- Reduce unnecessary form submissions
- Prevent errors before data is saved
- Make applications feel faster and smarter
In this 45-minute live session, we’ll explore how Deluge client functions help you build faster and more interactive Zoho applications by running logic directly on the user interface. You’ll learn when and why to use client functions, how to implement real-time validations, and how to create dynamic UI behavior without relying on server-side execution. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear understanding of how client functions improve application performance and enhance the overall user experience in your Zoho applications.
Topics that will be covered:
- What client functions are
- When and where to use client functions effectively
- Validating user inputs in real time
- Controlling UI behavior, like field visibility, enable/disable actions, and alerts
- Triggering instant actions without server delay
Join us for this insightful session and learn how to leverage client functions to build smarter, faster, and more interactive Zoho solutions.
