We’re excited to introduce a powerful set of updates across Web, Android and iOS/iPad apps. From AI-assisted base creation to advanced automations and mobile enhancements, this release is packed with features to help you build faster, automate better, and work smarter.
Here’s what’s new:
1. AI-Assisted Base Creation
Available on: Web & Mobile
Description: Describe what you want to build and Zia will create a base structure, including related tables and fields. You can generate and review up to 10 use case suggestions before creating the base.
Use Case: A marketing team enters: “Track content creation, reviews, and approvals.” Zia creates a ready-to-use base with linked tables for Posts, Review Cycles, and Approvals.
2. Reports (Beta)
Available on: Web
Description: Visualize your data across tables with KPIs, charts (column, bar, line, pie), grids, and text blocks. Create custom dashboards to track performance and trends.
Use Case: A project manager builds a dashboard that displays project progress as a line chart, a KPI for tasks completed, and a grid listing overdue items.
3. Scheduled Automations
Available on: Web
Description: Trigger automations on a defined schedule—hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or once. You can also set a start and end date to limit the automation period.
Use Case: A sales team sets up a weekly automation to notify teams on the weekly progress towards the target.
4. Send Messages on Zoho Cliq
Available on: Web
Description: Automations can now send messages to users, groups, or channels on Zoho Cliq. This action can be triggered by all events.
Use Case: When a high-priority ticket is updated, a message is automatically posted to the #support-leads channel in Zoho Cliq.
5. Include Records or Summaries in Send Email & Zoho Cliq Automation Actions
Available on: Web
Description: Add summaries or a list of matching records directly into the content of your notification emails or Zoho Cliq messages.
Use Case: A daily email lists all pending tasks and includes a summary of how many are overdue, giving the manager an instant context.
6. More Colors for Bases and Select Fields
Available on: Web & Mobile
Description: Choose from 30 new base color themes and 20 additional color options for single and multi-select fields.
Use Case: A creative team assigns different colors to each project stage in a multi-select field, making it easier to scan views at a glance.
7. New Formula Functions
Available on: Web & Mobile
Description: New formulas including IF, IF-ERROR, EOM (End of Month), NOW, and ARRAYCOUNT offer more flexibility in defining logic and calculations.
Use Case: A finance team uses EOM to calculate billing cycle end dates and ARRAYCOUNT to count the number of active invoices per client.
8. Guest Mode
Available on: Android, iOS, and iPadOS
Description: You can now create and work with a base even without logging in or having internet access. Once you’re online and signed in, the base syncs to your account.
Use Case: A field surveyor collects observations offline in a rural area and syncs the data to their account once they’re back online.
9. Siri Support
Available on: iOS & iPad
Description: Use Siri to create a new base with your voice. Just say: “Create a base in Zoho Tables.”
Use Case: A consultant quickly captures an idea while driving by using Siri to launch a base without opening the app.
10. Apple Pencil Support
Available on: iPad
Description: Use your Apple Pencil to write directly into cells, tap on rating fields, and tick checkboxes—giving you a tactile, notebook-like experience.
