• When you are monitoring air quality and temperature in an office building using Zoho IoT, you may need to automatically create a service order when the temperature crosses a defined threshold. This can be achieved by configuring a notification profiles that triggers a custom function. The custom function then creates a service order record in the application and the technician can be assigned to it.
   
• When you want to generate a record at the end of every shift containing the number of parts produced, the machine runtime, and the power consumed during the shift, you can use a combination of a scheduler and a custom function. The scheduler triggers the custom function at the end of each shift, and the custom function aggregates the required values before creating the record.
  
  
• When you need to extract a field value from the payload of an edge device and update a corresponding field in a device instance, you can use a message handler together with a custom function. The message handler provides access to the incoming payload, while the custom function processes the payload and updates the device instance based on the required logic.
