How Does Editing Client Email Address affect emails already sent through CRM
We have some emails that were sent through our CRM to a client with an attached quote. I've now discovered that the employee didn't create the contact with the correct CRM so he wouldn't have received them. To magnify the challenge - another staff member accidently CC'd this client in on an email that wasn't meant for them. IF I correct the email address for this contact will that make the emails already sent available to him?? I would think not but as it was incorrectly entered I don't want to change
Error while reading configuration.properties file
I am using the zohocrm php-sdk v2Everything works fine locally but when I moved my code to our staging server I started getting errors. The error it is throwing is failed to open stream on the ZCRMClientLibrary.log file. (It is looking for it in my php include_path.) This isn't the root error though. My error is actually during my \ZCRMRestClient::initialize(); call. This calls CommonUtil.php to getFileContentAsMap from configuration.properties file. I have it echo out all the lines from that file
Can I create two Account Objects in CRM ?
Hello! I am trying to create two separate Account Objects. Our company is B2B and B2C and I would like to create two completely separate Account Record Types for these Accounts, and have them labeled differently on the Nav. Bar I was able to create a New Object, but I could not figure out how to make that New Object an Account Record Type. Thanks!
Lead Display Page
Hello, I have setup many new custom fields in the standard leads module, and have created a test lead. Once this lead is saved when you go into leads is displays the lead name as the Contact person what was placed into the lead. This is not very helpful and there may be many leads going for one of our potential customers. Am i able to have system show a different field for lead name, perhaps even a custom lead name field?

How can I hide sections in Layouts?
I'm trying to simplify the "Accounts" layout for our sales team, and because we bill via email/fax and don't send physical products, I want to remove the "Address" information from the Accounts view. When I try to "delete" the section, it says deleting it can cause an "invalid data error" - There's no explanation of what this error is, or how it will effect me, so I don't know if I can remove this feature. Please let me know if it's possible.
Best way to track trade-show event leads to calculate CPL
Hello, I'm a relatively new user to Zoho CRM but have used Salesforce quite a bit in previous jobs. Our sales and marketing team will be attending a trade-show in the coming months and I want to track the contacts and leads that came from the show through the sales cycle. In SFDC, I would enter the amount of the show and create a visual to show the cost per lead and other metrics. What's the best way to do this in Zoho CRM? Campaigns? Thanks in advance for any help!

Automatically Create new event after a check-in is made?
Is it possible to create a rule or action that can create a new event a set duration after an account check-in is made? If it is, how do I go about it? I would like my reps to be reminded a set time (That I can set as Sales Manager) after a check-in to reconnect with a customer, so they don't have to remember to manual create a new event each time. All our reps are field sales. Dan

Updated Module Fields in Zoho - Deletes Previously Entered Data
Hi there, My company was going through changing the field names in various Zoho Modules we created to better fit our needs. Information had already been entered into these fields, and we didn't think changing the field titles would delete the data stored within the fields. Unfortunately though, we have direct evidence that changing field names in Zoho Modules DELETES the data that was previously entered. So the question is, once a module and fields are set up, there's no changing them, for fear
missing contacts
Hi, I've recently started using Zoho and populating my possible clients and contacts list. At some point i started missing some contacts I had previously introduced but I thought it would be me not having properly saved them. This afternoon before leaving the office I just could see one contact, which is pretty worrying because I had more. I just checked when I got home and I could see three, which is an improvement, but I'm still missing some of them. What's going on? I thought Zoho CRM would be
Uploading Lead History From Another CRM
Hello, is there another way of uploading lead history from another CRM? I have asked support the same question but they keep on saying to upload the LEAD HISTORY onto the leads. Literally hundreds of logs for a specific lead onto the FIELDS. How does that make sense? Can we make our own notes section or logs section where we can import these data and link it to the lead? Does it make sense that Zoho does not have this feature? We are going to be FORCED to DELETE THOUSANDS OF HISTORICAL DATA.

Relationships Question
Hi All, I have a travel agency with the modules 'Contacts' and 'trips'. A contact can have many trips and all this works great. However, I now wish to manage passengers within Zoho but am coming up stuck. Let's take the example of a family. We have the lead contact who booked the trip 'Contact' and we have 3 passengers. 'Passengers'. The Passengers can be linked to the Lead Contact and then added to a trip, depending on if all 3 passengers are going or 1 passenger, for example his wife. This
blueprint transition - show description field as tool tip on hover
within the blue print editor, there is a section called Description. this is good for the developer to make notes but it would be more helpful if you could put in paragraph form what the transition is for and have it display on the transition button as a tool tip. its hard to describe when the transition should be executed or what it is going to do if executed in a very limited button. i have attached an example image.
Add States to Blueprint
Simple question: Does adding a State to a blueprint add it as a stage for all records NOT in the blueprint? Example: Default stages could be Project Match > Budget Quote > Formal Quote > Sent Invoice > etc If I add a state to a blueprint using the "add state" button, will that create a Stage for all Project records that are NOT in the blueprint, or will it only be visible to record in the blueprint? I need to be able to add a state/stage that is only visible from within the blueprint.
Zoho CRM account disabled
Hi there! I got access today to Zoho CRM and Recruit. I can get inside Recruit but not CRM. My CRM admin says I got access and everything looks good on his side, but yet I only get this screen saying my account has been disabled. Any ideas on how to fix that? We tried to remove my mail and back, changed passwords and even deleted all my cookies. Would love some help. Thank you! ofir.fischer@nlc.health

Workflow Rule: Update Pick List in Contacts from Pick List in Custom Module
Hi, I'm trying to setup a custom function that would sync identical pick lists that I have in 2 separate modules, from a custom module to the contacts module. List Fields are called "Type" and "Status" (API Names are identical, too) My custom module has the API name: Intermediaries Currently struggling to get the syntax right. Anyone would have a sample code I could try it on? I browsed through a lot of posts, but none of them seems to do what I need. Thanks!
PHP SDK module->getRecords() "if-modified-since" customer header not appearing to filter by modified date
Using the PHP SDK, I am able to pull data from the "Quotes" and "Deals" modules using the following code: $api=$this->initializeZohoAPI(); $quoteModule = $api->getModule("Quotes"); $dealModule = $api->getModule("Deals"); $quoteBuffer = $quoteModule->getData()->getRecords()->getData(); $dealBuffer = $dealModule->getData()->getRecords()->getData(); Again, the code above works fine. It gets me all of the quote/deal information I expect dating back to at least 2019-3-26, seen here: However, when I
Is it possible to create and update leads/contacts via a HTML POST?
Hi- I'm looking into connecting an external lead capture form to Zoho and wondering if it's possible to create and update leads and contact using a basic HTML-based POST request. I've seen a few articles around formatting the data in XML, but this would need to be in HTML. With other platforms I've done this by either appending the parameters (email, first name, last name, etc.) to the URL or sending those parameters in the request body. Here are a few sample requests: Example of parameters in
adding custom relations through python api
I am trying to add relations to contacts, however I am having issues adding custom relations, I can gather the information of these custom relations using the sdk using the .get_relatedlist_records(api_name) method, however when trying to add a relation to a record I can only specify the module of the relation, not the specific related list I want the junctionRecord to be stored under. For an example, I have no issue linking contacts to campaigns under the default relation, however when I try to

Workflow Rule: Setting a recurring rule whenever a field is updated
Hi, I am setting up a workflow rule with a scheduled action to deliver an email to a customer 19 days after an order has been made. The trigger is set when the "Total Commission" field updates. i.e. this indicates the customer has bought something. I want this rule to trigger every time someone makes a purchase. i.e. every time the "Total Commission" field updates. But scheduled actions isn't available if I tick the "Repeat this workflow whenever a account is edited" box: I assume this needs to be

ZOHO Google Ads Opportunities won remains 0
We have implemented the Google Ads tab into our ZOHO platform. All seems to work fine. We have several "leads" and "leads converted" showing up. The spendings are imported from Google Ads and the leads show all the Google Information including the GCLID. The only thing that does not seem to update is the "opportunities won" field. It remains showing 0, as does the ROI field after setting on "closed won" Anyone knows this issue, and how to fix it?

Specifying Field for duplicate check on API URL Methods
It would be great if we could specify the unique field to use as the key for duplicate checks. We have customers who want to use their own fields as keys for modules such as Accounts and Contacts. Using the API to sync with other systems would be far easier if we could use these fields as keys, instead of being forced to use and email address or Account Name. I know this is possible using the SDKs, so I can't imagine adding this functionality to the URL APIs would be too much extra work.
Help Needed! How to update Related Subforms when Item removed
Simple Scenario: You sell Lamps and Bulbs but don't know what bulb goes with each lamp so you add a "Related Items" subform to the product page. For each Lamp you then add the compatible bulbs. When you do this you want each bulb to update its own "Related Items" subform to show the lamp(s) it is compatible with. All the above I have working fine. The Problem: A Bulb is no longer compatible with a Lamp so I open the Bulb product and remove the lamp from the "Related Items" subform. I then need the
