Title: Sigma Extension Developer Resources - Find it all here !!! | Community | Zoho Developer

Hello, everyone!

We are excited to begin another year of our ongoing journey with all of you developers.

Over the past few years, we have been working on generating content to make your extension development journey easier, and we are excited to share that we have made progress and released a lot of resources in that time.

So far, we've started and built resources for Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, Zoho Projects, and Zoho Books in the form of forum posts and webinars. We will work hard to expand and create more resources on extension development for various Zoho products using the Sigma platform.

With this post, we intend to consolidate all of our resources into a single article, making it easier for you to navigate around the relevant Zoho product and its resources. Any additional resources that we generate in the future will be included as part of the links available in this article as well.

Please check the materials that are being consolidated beneath. We hope you find these resources useful and helpful in your extension building process!

With the structure of the new Log a Call function, you have required several fields that are unnecessary for most people and that significantly slow down salespeople or CSRs in logging calls. Could you please
