Enhancements to Zoho Maps integration tasks

Enhancements to Zoho Maps integration tasks

Hello everyone,

We're excited to announce enhancements to the Zoho Maps integration tasks in Deluge, which will boost its performance. This post will walk you through the upcoming changes, explain why we're making them, and detail the steps you need to take.

What's this change about?
We're rolling out a new, high-performance backend update for Zoho Maps. This change will affect all three Zoho Maps integration tasks (Geocode, Reverse Geocode, and Distance Between).
The update brings several key benefits, like:
  1. Improved response times
  2. Better structure response
  3. More detailed and contextual information
  4. Future scalability 
What's changing?  
As a result of this update, the response format for Geocode and Reverse Geocode Maps tasks will change. We're moving from a simple response to a more structured, JSON-like response as shown below.

For zoho.map.GeoCode()
Current format:
  1. {
  2.   "latitude": "37.68612315",
  3.   "longitude": "-121.89374181126261",
  4.   "status": "success"
  5. }

New format:

  1. {
  2.   "country": "United States of America",
  3.   "country_code": "us",
  4.   "address_line2": "Pleasanton",
  5.   "address_line1": "4141, Hacienda Drive",
  6.   "city": "Pleasanton",
  7.   "street": "Hacienda Drive",
  8.   "lon": "-121.89374",
  9.   "state": "California",
  10.   "label": "Zoho Corporation, 4141, Hacienda Drive, Hacienda, Pleasanton, Alameda County, California, 94588, United States",
  11.   "postal_code": "94588",
  12.   "lat": "37.68612",
  13.   "status": "success" 
  14. }

For zoho.map.rGeoCode()
Current format:

  1. {
  2.   "country": "India",
  3.   "country_code": "in",
  4.   "address": "Bucket Building, Grand Southern Trunk Road, Guduvancheri, Tamil Nadu, 603202, India",
  5.   "road": "Grand Southern Trunk Road",
  6.   "ISO3166-2-lvl4": "IN-TN",
  7.   "postcode": "603202",
  8.   "state": "Tamil Nadu",
  9.   "village": "Guduvancheri",
  10.   "building": "Bucket Building",
  11.   "status": "success"
  12. }

New format:

  1. {
  2.    "country": "India",
  3.    "country_code": "in",
  4.    "address_line2": "Guduvancheri",
  5.    "address_line1": "Grand Southern Trunk Road, Bucket Building",
  6.    "city": "Guduvancheri",
  7.    "street": "Grand Southern Trunk Road",
  8.    "state": "Tamil Nadu",
  9.    "label": "Bucket Building, Grand Southern Trunk Road, Guduvancheri, Tamil Nadu, 603202, India",
  10.    "postal_code": "603202",
  11.    "status": "success"
  12.   }
For zoho.maps.getDistance(): The response format for this task will not change. The update only changes the methodology used to provide more accurate real-world distance calculations. Specifically, this involves a move from the spherical law of cosines to the haversine formula, which is the standard for modern GPS apps.

What should you do?
To prevent any disruption to your applications, you'll need to update your Deluge scripts that use these map tasks. To help you identify where these tasks are being used, we'll automatically add a v1 identifier in your existing scripts (e.g., "zoho.map.v1.geoCode;").

Your action plan should be:
  1. Identify: Locate all instances of Zoho Maps integration tasks in your Deluge scripts by searching for the v1 marker.
  2. Update: Make necessary changes to your scripts to make sure it aligns with the new response format.
  3. Test: Thoroughly test your updated scripts to ensure they handle the new data structure correctly.
Help documentation
We've updated our help pages to reflect the latest changes and provide clear guidance on using these enhanced Maps tasks. For more information, visit the Zoho Map Integration Tasks help page.

When does this take effect?
We have rolled out the update to Maps tasks on October 21, 2025. Going forward, any newly created Maps tasks will use the enhanced version.

All your existing Maps tasks will be marked with a v1 tag in the task name. These v1 tasks must be updated to support the new response format by January 16, 2026. After this date, the old response format will be deprecated and will no longer be supported.

We request your utmost attention to this matter and encourage you to make the necessary changes before the deadline to avoid any disruption to your workflows.

We're confident that these enhancements will make it even easier and more efficient to incorporate location capabilities into your Zoho apps using Deluge.

I wanted to share some ideas for features that could enhance the platform for professional users and agencies.

                                                                                                            Hi, Just wondering if there's a way to export/convert a presentation to an MP4 video file or even a GIF. One use case would be to use the animation functionality to create social media graphics/charts/gifs/videos. Thanks for a great tool... Rgds Jon

                                                                                                            When editing the layout of, for instance, the Potentials page, is there a way to insert a horizontal rule or white space in between fields?  I'd like to keep a group of fields in the same Section, but would like to create some seperation in order to further group together certain fields within the Section.  If this is not possible, does anybody have any other suggestions on how to create this same effect?   Thank you!

Currently language can be changed for everyone - it looks like a settings for a whole portal, which is not good when you are working internationally. Best regards,
