Hello,
Being one who occasionally likes to post code in the forums, I try to make anything that the end user needs to define be present at the very top of the script so that those who want to implement the script won't have to hunt through lines of code, as this is a bit of a turnoff for many.
For most of these kinds of definable params, this has become somewhat ubiquitous, e.g. the organization id or user id, etc. Why then can't the connection ID be assigned to a variable in the same way?
If I were to guess, this might have had something to do with keeping things streamlined when the backend script was created by Zoho to hunt down and destroy the evil authtokens and replace them with the new OAuth2 connections we know and love today... usually. And if so, that would make sense.
But regardless of the reason, it would be great if a simple string variable could be used in place of the literal connection name.
Thanks,
Bryan

Prevent stripping of custom CSS when creating an email template?
Anyone have a workaround for this? Zoho really needs to hire new designers - templates are terrible. A custom template has been created, but every time we try to use it, it strips out all the CSS from the head. IE, we'll define the styles right in the <head> (simple example below) and everything gets stripped (initially, it saves fine, but when you browse away and come back to the template, all the custom css is removed). <style type="text/css"> .footerContent a{display:block !important;} </style>
