The Box extension for Zoho CRM is one convenient way to access stored data and share files with leads and contacts (by default) from Zoho CRM. You can extend this functionality to custom modules too. Follow the steps below to see how it's done.

- Execute the workflow during Record Actions. Select Create or Edit and click Next.

To create custom buttons:
- Click the Settings > Setup > Customization > Modules.

- Drag and drop the Fields from the New Fields tab.
- Click Save.
//Note: the custom function should have "record_id" parameter
// getting record info from Leads or Quotes using the record_id
quote_info = zoho.crm.getRecordById("Quotes", quote_id.toLong());
// Getting Box folder ID from the record info
box_folder_id = quote_info.get("Box Folder ID");
if ((box_folder_id == null) || (box_folder_id == ""))
{
rootFolderId = zoho.crm.getOrgVariable("box.box_rootfolder_id");
if (rootFolderId == "")
{
// Returning since the root folder ID is empty
return;
}
tokenObj = map();
tokenObj.put("folder_name", "Quotes");
tokenObj.put("parent", rootFolderId);
// Using the token object and Box connector to call the invoke connector from CRM API createFlrResp = zoho.crm.invokeConnector ("box.box.createboxfolder", tokenObj, true);
if (createFlrResp == null){
return;
}
