Mandatory verification of custom domains in portal

Mandatory verification of custom domains in portal

Hello all,

Happy New Year! Wishing you a successful and fruitful year ahead. We are committed to ensuring a safe and secure experience for all users of Zoho Creator users. As part of this commitment, we regularly introduce updates to ensure our platform remains aligned with evolving security standards. In line with this, we’ve decided to phase out support for portals with unverified custom domains.

What is changing?

Starting 10-Feb-2025, we will restrict access to any portal with unverified domains. Your portal users will no longer be able to log in to these portals.

What you need to do

To avoid any potential disruptions to your business, we strongly recommend verifying your custom domains in portal at the earliest.  Before this change takes effect, we will send emails to affected users with detailed information about the portals that have unverified domains. To further ensure our users are well-informed about the change, we will display a banner under the Portal page in C6 and the Customer Portal section under App Settings in C5.

Follow the steps outlined in the email you receive or visit the Verify custom domain of Portal help page for guidance. 
NotesNote: 
In C5, custom domain verification can only be performed by customer portal admins. Therefore, we will be sending emails to both the super admin and the respective customer portal admins. For detailed procedure to be followed in C5, please visit the Verify custom domain of the customer portal help doc.
It’s possible that your Zoho Creator account may have multiple unverified domains. Please ensure that all such domains are verified to prevent any interruptions.

Our goal is to make this transition as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Feel free to reach out to us if you need any assistance.
Thank you for your continued support as we strive to deliver the best possible experience for our users.

Sincerely,
The Zoho Creator Team

                                                                                                          It is very inconvenient that the custom fields in Page Layout cannot be re-ordered. The only way is to remove the fields and re-create them; however, it is impractical. This would affect the reports and dashboards we are having. Not able to re-order the

                                                                                                          When I want to forward an email received through Zoho, the layout changes: Buttons are cut Pictures change size Text changes alignment (left/right/center) Is this a common problem in Zoho? Thank you, Suzannah

                                                                                                          The Audit Trail feature is great, but its data is only available to admin users. It would be really great to have a system field "Audit trail" that we can add to the detailed view of a record. This would allow supervisors, directors and etc. to quickly track what changes have been done by whom for each record. It is a current feature from a client of mine and while it's probably possible to hard code it, since this data is already available in Zoho, I would be surprised to hear how hard it would
