Zoho Cliq 4.0: Developer Platform

Zoho Cliq 4.0: Developer Platform

Greetings, Cliq community!

We are excited to announce the latest updates in the Zoho Cliq Developer Platform as part of our Cliq 4.0 release. This release brings a host of new features and enhancements that are aimed at making the development experience in Cliq even better.

Whether you are a seasoned Cliq developer or just starting out, we believe you will find these new features useful. So, without further ado, let's dive into what's new in Cliq 4.0!
  • Kiosk mode for widgets: Get an enriched experience of your widgets in Zoho Cliq with the all-new Kiosk mode (Form view) supported for the Zoho Cliq mobile application. With this mode, you can get a more focused display of the widget when viewing it in with your mobile app.


  • Map view for tracking updates: We now support a dedicated map view for widgets. For instance, if you are building a cab-booking widget for your employees, you can configure the map view, so users can track where the cabs are located in the widget itself.


  • Form view handler: You can now generate a permalink for forms with the all-new form view handler. With this permalink, you no longer have to rely on other internal tools to invoke a form. You can directly access the form using the permalink and share them with others. For example, if you'd like to collect employee feedback about workplace policies, you can generate a QR code for your survey form and include it on posters placed around the office. Once employees scan the QR code, they will be able to access the form and submit their feedback. 
  • Catalogues in forms: Build booking and ordering apps that require inventory management with the latest catalogue component in forms.

We're looking forward to seeing the amazing projects that developers will create using this platform. Happy coding!

I would like to add the save pipeline features and visualization to a custom module, however, I only see that these pipelines are only available for the Deals module. Is there a way to add pipelines to custom modules?

They have multiple locations (some have many), with addresses we need to know for service, deliveries, etc. We have created a custom "Sites" module in Zoho CRM to store an Account/Company's addresses
