Ask the Experts: A 5-hour live discussion on custom workflows, integrations and APIs.

Welcome to the Ask the Experts series. This is a new initiative to provide a platform for our users and the product experts to exchange thoughts about the product, and interact with each other better.




Hello, everyone! 

How's July been for you so far? :) 

For this month's Ask the Experts session, we'll do a detailed discussion on how best you can connect Writer and its document-creation prowess with your business' workflows and the products you already use. 

Do let us know if you have queries, doubts or suggestions regarding any of the following topics:

1. Workflow integrations: Adding Writer to an existing workflow you already follow. Taking data from a certain data-source and generating documents from them automatically.

2. Open APIs: The different APIs that are available for you to use currently, including Deluge scripts. (You can also let us know if you are looking for a particular API from us to solve your flow)

3. Writer in other Zoho Apps: On Writer's integrations with Zoho Sign, Zoho CRM, Zoho Creator, Zoho Flow and other Zoho products.

4. Connecting Writer with Apps you already use: On Zapier integration and connecting Writer with any particular app you or your team is already using.

Me, along with our panel of experts will be available to take your questions during this time.

​

That being said, feel free to ask questions about Writer in general, and also pass on your feedback to the team if you'd like to. Our experts will be happy to discuss them and give you possible solutions in real-time. :)

Start posting your questions right away as comments below! We'll be available to answer your questions live from 07:00 AM PDT on the 31st (Wednesday) for 5 hours straight.


Looking forward to a great interactive session!

          Hi there, The same way you changed the custom function editor's interface wider, it would be nice to be able to edit panels in pages using the full width of the screen rather than the currently max-width: 1368px. Is there a reason for having the configuration panel not taking the full width? Its impossible at this width to edit panels that have a lot of elements. Please change it to 100% so we can better edit the layouts. Thanks! B.
