Hello Everyone,

A custom function is a software code that can be used to automate a process and this allow you to automate a notification, call a webhook, or perform logic immediately after a workflow rule is triggered. This feature helps to automate complex tasks and calculations.

Lets take the below User Requirement - 

A customer requested that a team should be added to the project automatically in accordance with the selected project group. They have teams like the 'Development team' and the 'Marketing team'.

In a similar manner, project groups have been established. Now, the Marketing team needs to be added to that project automatically if they select the Project Group as Marketing.

A custom function can be used to fulfil this need. You can fulfil the aforementioned condition with the aid of the code below.

Establishing a connection with the scopes "ZohoProjects.portals.ALL ZohoProjects.projects.READ" is all that is required. Below link will let you know on how to establish a connection. Also I have attached the screenshot of Arguments that we have used.
