Auto-Update Custom Zoho CRM Field with value located on "Zoho Spreadsheets"?
Version: Zoho CRM Professional, 4 users. I'm trying to automatically update a custom Zoho CRM field within the "Leads" module, using a value found on a "Zoho Docs Spreadsheet". I need this field in all zoho crm "lead" records to update automatically daily. The excel equivalent to what I want is using "VLOOKUP" a value within in another file. For instance, if "Car 123" is the zoho crm custom field value, it looks up "Car 123" in the external spreadsheet in column "A", then if found returns the value
Display related rows from custom table in a section of a tab on a CRM account.
We are just getting started with ZoHo applications. What is the best method for displaying related rows from a custom table(cust_equip) that is in our workspace in analytics which was created by uploading data from a excel worksheet. This custom table will be refreshed on a schedule so the user will be able to view most current data. Some Accounts, not all, have rows in this custom table(cust_equip). A CRM Account is related to it's rows in this custom table(cust_equip) by it's Zoho Id(i.e. AccountNumber).

Hello, I'm trying to create and update Tasks, and I'm running into a problem. i have simplified my code down to the following (i.e. getting and updating a task having made no changes to it), which throws an exception: ZCRMModule tasks = ZCRMModule.GetInstance("Tasks"); ZCRMRecord task = (ZCRMRecord)tasks.GetRecord(206228000003200163).Data; APIResponse aPIResponse = task.Update(); Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot Set Referrer or First_Visited_URL via the API
Hello, I'm working on a custom form that needs to do several things on our website, one of which is to add a lead into Zoho CRM. We used to use a Zoho Webform for this, but the number of things we now have going on make that impossible. I'm trying to set either the 'referrer' field or 'first_visited_url' field when a I add the lead to Zoho, but neither seem to work nor do they return any errors. The lead gets added with the rest of the fields I have specified, and those fields blank. The date I'm

Task or Event
I am looking to find out which would work best out of these 2 (or if anyone has another suggestion). We sell mortgages.

About 3 months before their deal finishes I want something to pop up in our tasks/events/jobs list for us to contact the customer. So that we can explain their deal is coming to an end and do they want us to look into it again for them. I

Fields in layout rule randomly appearing when condition not triggered
Hi Zoho CRM team, My sales team has brought this to my attention that fields in the opportunity layout which are part of a layout rule are appearing when creating a new opportunity, even when the conditions are not met.

Custom button on list view
I want to add a custom button on a list view that runs a custom function. In the custom function I'm mapping the ID as the argument. I assume all the ids of the selected records get passed as some sort of array? How do I iterate the array to perform the function on each selected record? My function/button currently works if I select just one record but not if I select multiple records. (How can I easily see exactly what gets passed to the function?) I found this forum question which suggests id of

How can I link a contact with a product?
Hi there, When creating a contact, how can I assign it a product that I already have created?

When we start to receive bookings, how can I create a contact and add to this specific product in order to know how much are going each week? Is it possible? Thank you in advance.

Zoho CRM PhoneBridge Asterisk 13
Hi there, I've set up PhoneBridge with asterisk 13 and Zoho CRM, and can successfully initiate a Click to Dial. However, the CRM does not 'see' when the call is answered and remains on a perpetual 'calling' state with a 'CANCEL' button available.
