Custom Schedules
This guide will help you with the following:
- Create Schedules
- Write Custom Function
- Edit Schedules
- Delete schedules
Schedules are automated user-defined actions, which can be performed through custom functions either at a particular time or on a recurring basis. User-defined actions enable the creation of unique scheduling situations that can be executed periodically based on your requirements.
Zoho CRM users can now schedule a custom function so that it is executed automatically on a daily interval.
Schedules allows to integrate your CRM data with your company’s website/intranet, any third-party applications or other Zoho Apps.
Scheduling allows users to:
- Periodically sync their contacts with other applications
- Push CRM Data to their legacy system for data-back up purposes.
- Alert the users in their CRM system about any idle leads or deals.
Before creating a schedule, please take note:
- A CRM system can have up to 10 active schedules. So if the user installing your extension already has 10 active schedules, they will not be able to install your extension.
- More than one schedule cannot have the same name.
- A schedule's start date will be the date at which a user installs your extension.
- Every schedule's execution details will be logged in CRM Audit Logs.
