Automation - Overview | Zoho Vertical Studio Help

Automation - Overview

From simplifying routine tasks to eliminating inefficiencies, automation tools in Zoho Vertical Studio enables developers to create dynamic workflows that can transform industry processes. By automating repetitive actions, developers can help their end-users focus on critical business priorities and drive overall growth.
For example, imagine developing an HR services application for recruitment teams that handles hundreds of applications for each job opening. Managing applications, scheduling interviews, and evaluating candidates manually can lead to chaos and delays. By automating these processes, developers can create an HR application that filters candidates, schedules interviews, and even generates offer letters, streamlining the entire hiring lifecycle.

Automation Features in Zoho Vertical Studio

Workflow Rules

Automate frequent tasks like sending notifications, updating field values, scheduling follow-ups, and more. Developers can build workflows that, for example, notify a sales team when a high-value lead is added and update lead status automatically.

Schedules

Set up automated actions via Functions to execute at specific times or intervals. For example, create a schedule that syncs data between the application and third-party tools daily, keeping records up-to-date.

Actions

Zoho Vertical Studio provides the flexibility to create a variety of automated actions in your applications that enhance your sales and marketing workflows. These actions can be integrated with Workflow Rules, Blueprints, and Approval Processes to streamline operations and save time. Here’s a breakdown of the available actions:
  1. Email Notifications: Automatically send emails, such as welcome messages to new customers or reminders for pending tasks.
  2. Tasks: Assign tasks to users based on specific triggers.
  3. Field Updates: Update records dynamically, like marking a lead as "Contacted" after an interaction.
  4. Webhooks: Integrate with third-party applications to send notifications for specific events.
  5. Custom Functions: Develop unique scripts for complex actions, enabling seamless integration with external systems or data updates.
