Zoho Creator - 2024 Release Projection 1

Zoho Creator - 2024 Release Projection 1

Hello everyone!

As we enter 2024, we'd like to extend our warmest wishes for success and prosperity. Your fantastic response to our Product Roadmap page last year has been incredibly motivating. Continuing on this path, we're excited to share a glimpse into Creator's future with you today!

 

Our dedication to empowering your journey with intuitive, innovative solutions remains steadfast, and we're ecstatic to unveil our first roadmap of the year with Release Projection 1, comprising features scheduled for release between January and June.


Here's a sneak peek at what's on the horizon:
 
Kanban report client task on field update - Customize actions (like redirecting to a URL) to be executed upon successful submissions using the intuitive drag-and-drop function in Kanban reports.
 
Device type Deluge function - Utilize the device type Deluge function to identify users' devices (web, mobile, or tablet) and offer personalized experiences tailored to their device preferences.
 
Multi-column update in Deluge - This new addition is a Deluge function that streamlines the process of updating multiple columns by enabling simultaneous updating of all fields in a form.
 
QR code & barcode generator - Say goodbye to third-party API dependencies! Our all-new QR and barcode generator effortlessly creates codes using data from fields.
 
Enhanced custom apps for Marketplace - Major updates are coming to custom apps within the Developer platform, bringing in new functionalities like approval, payment, and blueprint workflows, and more. Additionally, they'll be getting connections, environments, a new dedicated space for collaboration, and the ability to publish on the Marketplace.
 
AI assistance for Deluge - Our integration of Deluge with OpenAI takes low-code to the next level. All you need to do is let the AI know your requirements, and it will generate the necessary Deluge code!
 
Hybrid deployment - This update facilitates hybrid and multi-cloud deployment configurations, allowing Creator apps to be installed on any public cloud service provider.
 
Async function - Async is a new function to help you effectively tackle the issue of lengthy operations of large Deluge functions.
 
Private extension sharing - With this enhancement, you'll have the ability to privately share extensions via client email addresses, test their functionality before publishing, and utilize multi-DC support.

We're anticipating another year of major growth for Creator in 2024, building upon our continued successes in the low-code market. Your constant support is invaluable and drives us to explore new horizons and introduce exciting features.
 
We hope you're as excited as we are about the above updates, and that the 2024 Roadmap will help you better plan your upcoming projects and apps. As the aforementioned features near their release, we'll be publishing detailed forum posts with more comprehensive information for you.
 
In the meantime, we'd love to hear what you think of these features. Please comment below or send your feedback, questions, or concerns to support@zohocreator.com.
