Custom Buttons & Links Now Supported in Portals

Custom Buttons & Links Now Supported in Portals



We’ve just made portals in Zoho Recruit more powerful and customizable than ever! You can now bring the power of Custom Buttons and Links to your Candidate, Client, Vendor, and Custom Portals — enabling portal users to take direct action without recruiter or admin intervention.

What’s New?

Just like in your internal setup, you can now add custom buttons and links that:
  • Trigger background checks,
  • Link to meeting schedulers,
  • Launch third-party tools,
  • Or even execute complex Deluge functions…
...directly from your candidate, client and custom portals.


Portal Profile Support   

Custom buttons and links can now be restricted to specific portal profiles, ensuring users only see what’s relevant to them:
  • Candidate Portal → Candidate
  • Client Portal → Client
  • Vendor Portal → Vendor
  • Custom Portal → Defined by you

​This can easily be configured while creating or editing a custom button or link.

​Button Placements in Portals

Each portal supports specific module-level placements for custom buttons. Use the table below to see how each placement setting translates to where the button appears within the portal. See More Portal button placements

                                    I'm asking you all for any feedback as to the logic or reasoning behind drastically limiting portal users when Zoho already meters based on number of records. I'm a single-seat, Zoho One Enterprise license holder. If my portal users are going to add records, wouldn't that increase revenue for Zoho as that is how Creator is monetized? Why limit my customer portal to only THREE external users when more users would equate to more records being entered into the database?!? (See help ticket reply below.)
