Update record custom function not working
Hello, I'm trying to code my first function, which is super simple: upon clicking the button, I want to call a custom function which will update the Deals' record field ''Nom acheteur'' with the value ''Anges Immobiliers'' My code: deal_id_str = deal_id.toLong(); acheteur_AI = Map(); acheteur_AI.put("Nom_acheteur","Anges Immobiliers"); update = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Deals",deal_id_str,acheteur_AI); return ''; (see screenshot 3) deal_id is a parameter linked to the Deals field 'Deal ID' I tried
Not able to set arguments for new function
Hi, I'm defining my first function, but contrary to various tutorials I've taken a look at, I am not able to edit the arguments of my new function. Clicking the 'Edit arguments' link does not bring up the pop-up window to define the arguments. Anyone has any suggestion what might cause this? Could it be that I need an additional permission to do this (I am not logged in as the super admin)?

I want to be-able to do this without using common transitions ( they are maxed), or adding additional states. I don't think there is a way, but figured whats the harm in asking.

New PHP SDK Critical Bug
I tried upgrading to the new 2.0.2 PHP CRM SDK, but there's a critical error that makes it impossible to use. When trying to get a BulkAPIResponse, the code says this: if (array_key_exists(APIConstants::VARIABLES, $bulkResponseJSON)) { However, 'APIConstants' does not have anything defined as VARIABLES, which means it always crashes: Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError : Undefined class constant 'VARIABLES' at /usr/local/cat/vendor/zohocrm/php-sdk/src/crm/api/response/BulkAPIResponse.php:108
Function-3: Auto-update account information across CRM.
Welcome back once again folks! Last week, we learnt about round-robin assignment of records using custom functions. This week, we'll take a look at a custom function that saves your time by auto-updating all the related fields in a selected module when those fields get updated in the Accounts module. Business scenario: Take a case of leads captured through web-forms. Most leads don't fill out the entire form. Once the lead is prospected, you go on to create relevant records in contact and accounts

zcrm_oauthtokens.txt generated in root directory - is that OK?
Hello, We are using the PHP SDK in the self-client scenario. It does not look like the token_persistence_path is being respected and zcrm_oauthtokens.txt is generated in the website root directory. I.e. the TXT file ends up in www.mysite.com/zcrm_oauthtokens.txt not the path we specified. I don't know enough about OAUTH system to know if this a security issue, but wanted to confirm. (I am not sure it would be more secure in my specified path, but at lease it wouldn't be easily guessable URL) It does

I have created a widget which I launch from within a contact view. The ultimate purpose of this widget is to call a third part api.

Sending with Zoho Sign
I have created a custom template in "Inventory" to use with Sign in CRM. Template works great! It is kind of a pain to drag and drop the signature tabs for recipients each time. Docusign lets you anchor them in a template once which saves a ton of time and confusion for my sales reps. My question is this: How can I add recipients to each Zoho Sign document, or each CRM sign, automatically? We have 4 people in the company who need to be CC'd or receive a copy each time one is sent or signed. It would
How to make Gravity Form entries show up in Zoho

Email Delay / Schedule within Zoho CRM
I'm quite new to Zoho and feel I'm very much just scratching the surface. Currently, I find myself sometimes working unsociable hours and don't want my clients to be aware that I'm emailing them at, for example 23:53 (the time now as I type). I'm aware of the ability to schedule delayed delivery within Zoho Mail but not through Zoho CRM. This is especially important for my requirements as I use a lot of email merge templates with Zoho CRM. If this facility is not available (which I assume it is

Tax Records
I just recently went through an audit. I keep the invoices both digitally and a hard copy. The issue was matching the Tax Exemption & Capital improvement Certificates with the invoices. And then making sure they were not expired. I looked through Zoho products and could not find a solution or a way to do this in the CRM. Maybe I just can't find it. When I look outside Zoho I found this https://sovos.com/products/tax-determination/certmanager/. However I am not looking to use another platform,
Uploading PDF Attachments to Lead records using Zoho SDK v2.0.1.0
I am working on a c# application that utilizes the Zoho SDK v2.0.1 to create Lead records. Once the Lead record is successfully created, I need to upload the relevant PDF file as an attachment. Once the CommonUtil.ValidateFile() method confirms that the filepath exists and is of acceptable size, I call the UploadAttachment() method on the ZCRMRecord instance. The returned APIResponse object confirms that the operation succeeded (STATUS_CODE=OK, Status = "success"), and the included ZCRMAttachment

REST-API v2: search in CRM with ampersand
Hello, currently, we have some companies in Zoho CRM under the "Accounts" module. Some of them contain an ampersand (&) in the account name which makes it impossible to search for. E.g.: GET https://www.zohoapis.eu/crm/v2/Accounts/search?criteria=(Account_Name:equals:Buch Musik) works fine. But GET https://www.zohoapis.eu/crm/v2/Accounts/search?criteria=(Account_Name:equals:Buch & Musik) throws http error 400 (invalid query formed). I tried to escape the ampersand (\&), I tried to replace it by %26,
Sales Order Export Directly to Deal Attachment
Currently when we export a sales order to our sale order template it is downloaded to the sales person's computer and then they have to manually add it to the Deal in the attachment related list so we can add it to Zoho Sign to send for a signature. I want to export the PDF directly to the deal. Can I do this within the CRM? Or with Zoho Flow?

Posting data from my web application, to a custom module in Zoho CRM
Good morning, I am having trouble populating a custom module I've built from a form in my node.js application. i do not want to use web forms because styling is going to be difficult. It is a multi-step form with lots of javascript. Much rather prefer to post form fields from my web app on every form submission to the custom module I've created. What part of the docs do I need to look at for some examples considering we are now using Zoho V2. Lots of code seems to be outdated in the Node SDK Docs,
Tracking Sales Goals
We've recently moved from pipelinedeals.com to zoho as the automation has great value to us. With pipeline, we were able to set sales goals and track our salespersons progress of those goals. However, it seems we've lost the ability to manage our sales persons goals and the ability to track their sales in zoho. Does Zoho have anything like this in development or is there a way to actually do this?
Linking Mass Email to CRM Campaign Functionality
We have successfully sent a few mails using the Mass Email function in CRM. However, it seems odd that we cannot link this activity to the Campaigns function, i.e. create a campaign list there, and then link a Mass Email to the list and manage the Mass Email from the Campaign function. Am I missing something? Seems highly illogical and I fail to see the real value of the Campaign tool unless it can link across. Note: I am not talking about Zoho Campaigns tool - that is a separate module altogether

Can not import negative values to Currency field from Excel
The nature of our business requires us to import both positive (i.e. 100.00) and negative (i.e. -100,00) values from Excel into the Currency field when importing Deals However, when we upload an Excel spreadsheet, only the positive numbers are imported into the Currency fields. The Currency fields where the negative numbers are supposed to appear remain blank after import. We are able to manually add negative numbers to the Currency field, so it's not as if the Currency field won't accept negative

Reports and Contact Roles
Hi there, I would like to run a deal summary report that groups by contact roles, but a bit more nuanced. I don't want to group by the 'roles' but rather the contacts themselves. You see, our deals always involve >1 contact, there in lies the need to utilize roles. However, I cannot find a report that allows you to use the contacts under contact roles, just the roles themselves. I've also created a custom field that allows us to add our people from a pick list. I can group that way, however, the

action based on status of email
A new lead from web form is sent an email template as a workflow rule and the email is seen in record with status (clicked/opened). I want to be able to change the status of the lead when the initial email hits a specific status (opened). I believe there's nothing inside the box of CRM that allows for this but is it possible to do so with custom function or through any other development tool? Thanks in advance.
