Hello all!

Zoho Inventory has been busy this month! It was exciting to see so many product updates get rolled out. Because of your feedback, we were also able to bring you some much-awaited features and fine-tune them over the last few weeks. Lastly, in honor of MSME day, our micro, small, and medium business customers got a huge shoutout. Take a look at all the details in this community digest for June.
 
1. Spotlight

We kicked off this MSME day with a huge congrats to all the micro, small, and medium businesses on June 27th. Zoho also set off an amazing campaign with Zoho One. Read more about this interesting campaign here: https://zurl.co/1XzE 
 
2. Webinars

 

On June 30th, we are hosting a webinar to help retailers achieve holistic growth using advanced analytics as they adopt a multichannel sales strategy. Join us to discuss more about 'Accelerating Multichannel Online Retail with Advanced Analytics'.

Who is this webinar for?

- Online retailers who are selling (or planning to sell) across multiple sales channels

- Product-based business owners and key decision makers

 
3. Product updates
  • Now collaborate with your team right from the Zoho Inventory interface with the all-new Zoho Cliq integration. This gives you a chat bar at the bottom of your Inventory app so you can keep in touch with your colleagues instantly. Click here to learn more.

  • The all-new Outlook and Zoho Mail integrations with Zoho Inventory allow you to connect with your customers without switching out of your app. Access all your customer communication right from your customer section in Zoho Inventory.

  • Zoho Inventory now has a Tax Collection at Source feature that is accessible from the Bills module. This update is currently available for the Indian edition of Zoho Inventory.

  • A Tax Deducted at Source feature is now also available in the Sales module for the Indian editions of Zoho Inventory. The withheld amount will be made visible in your Invoice template.

  • The newly introduced Expected Delivery Date option in the app helps you to record an expected delivery date during shipment generation. This will now help you to compare the carrier efficiency factors while selecting a carrier.

  • Make stock reconciliation easier using the 'Yet to be Received' and 'Yet to be Shipped' filters from the Bills and Invoices modules respectively. This helps you to easily find out details on stock differences among the items in your inventory.

  • Now add a tracking link to your shipment notification emails to help your customers track their shipments in real time. Add them from the Shipment notification email templates section in Zoho Inventory.

The further you're zoomed in, the more noticeable it is. Zooming is also entirely absent on the desktop version.

When the text is entered or pasted, there is no error to say that the text is too large. After saving and going back to view most of the text is gone.   Also, when viewing the resume, the text is not wrapped in the multi line fields and can t be read without scrolling across the page.

                                                                                                                Hi everyone, I’m experimenting with building small content hubs on Zoho Sites and want to make sure I’m doing it in an SEO-friendly way. For example, I tried creating a page that highlights restaurant menu items and linked out to a resource like this:

                                                                                                              • Diff signature for compose new email and replies

                                                                                                                Hi,   How do i have different signature for replies and new emails. its inconvenient to have one large signature for replies. Usually on Outlook we have the option to keep separate signatures for new emails and for replies.

                                                                                                              • Zoho Website Site Speed Up & Setting
