Adding acyclic dependency apps to environments
Now, you can add applications with dependencies to environments, streamlining the lifecycle management of complex, interlinked apps that share logic through cross-app references (like lookups or page references).
Initially, acyclic dependencies (where apps follow a linear dependency structure without circular references) will be supported. Cyclic dependencies (where apps reference each other in a loop) will be introduced later in a phased rollout.
Additionally, when removing apps from environments, all acyclic dependent apps will now be removed together, ensuring more efficient and consistent dependency management without orphaned references.
Use case
Assume a company uses separate Creator apps for different functions, like employee management and payroll processing. Since the payroll depends on the employee data, one app references another in a linear manner. With this new update, you can add both apps together to environments. This ensures seamless ADLM flow without breaking app relationships.

Sync to external calendar
The Sync to External Calendar feature allows you to integrate published reports from your app with popular calendar tools like Zoho Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and more. This feature works through an iCal feed URL and is helpful in ensuring that your events and schedules stay synchronized across platforms.
Use case
Let's say you use Zoho Creator to manage appointments for your business. With syncing to external calendars, you can automatically push these appointments to Google Calendar or Outlook. This provides your staff and clients with real-time updates directly on their personal calendars.

Record comments for portal users
We've brought in the capability for portal users to add comments to records. Previously, only internal users could add comments to records. With this enhancement, portal users can now join the conversation by adding comments as well. This update bridges the gap between internal and external stakeholders, allowing both user types to collaborate seamlessly within records.
Use case
Imagine a training management app where clients log in to a portal to track their sessions. With this feature, both the trainers (internal users) and clients (portal users) can discuss updates or clarify details directly within the record.

Refreshed mobile UI
We're introducing a refreshed, modern UI that redefines the experience for users on Zoho Creator mobile apps. The new interface offers intuitive navigation, simplified data submission, and a clearer presentation of information across reports and dashboards.
Beyond core elements such as forms and reports, the new theme extends to other aspects of the mobile app, such as notifications, error responses, and more, with the aim of ensuring a consistent and polished experience throughout.
How can this help you?
The refreshed UI focuses on enhancing usability and accessibility. It ensures a unified and professional experience across every part of the mobile app.

Data sync in integration fields
We've introduced the ability to manually sync data in integration fields, ensuring that Creator always reflects the latest information from your connected services. These integration fields in Creator forms serve as lookups to pull data from third-party services when a new record is created within Creator. Previously, once a record was saved, the corresponding data remained static and didn’t automatically reflect updates from the external service.
With this enhancement, admins and developers can now initiate a sync for integration fields from the Connections slider in live mode. This action updates existing Creator records with the most recent information from the connected service keeping both systems aligned.
Further, we've also added support for reconfiguring datasources without affecting your existing connections. If the datasource includes module-specific configuration fields, you can manage them from the Connection slider in Live mode. After the initial setup, these fields can be modified anytime using the Reconfigure option.
Use case
Let's say a Creator app pulls customer details from Zoho CRM via an integration field. Earlier, if a customer updated their phone number in CRM, it wouldn't reflect in those existing records mapped to it. Now, you can refresh the integration fields' data anytime and keep your records up to date, in line with the current value in CRM.
How to access
Navigate to the Connections slider in the live mode of your application and go to Datasource > [Required datasource name] > Integration Fields Sync.

Expanded suite of built-in connectors
We've broadened our built-in connector line-up by introducing hundreds of new connectors. Some of the widely used services now supported include:
- AWS services(like Dynamo DB, Kinesis, EC2, Lambda, and more)
- LinkedIn
- Confluence
- Airtable
- Jira Service Management Alert
- Netsuite
- Xero
- Mailchimp
- ... and more!
With this update, Zoho Creator now offers over 1,200 built-in connectors, empowering you to integrate with most popular apps used in different industries.

And that's all for this month! We'll keep this post updated as and when each feature is released.
We'd love to hear your feedback in the comments. Stay tuned for more enhancements coming your way!
Regards,
Zoho Creator Team
