Zoho Creator's 2025 Release Projection 1

Zoho Creator's 2025 Release Projection 1

Hello everyone,

This is Prakash, senior product manager at Zoho Creator. Today, I'm absolutely thrilled to pull back the curtain and give you a sneak peek at our first release projection of 2025, with an exciting lineup of features set to roll out in the first six months of the year. For us, this isn't just a set of capabilities; it's a reflection of our commitment to you and a glimpse into the future we're building together.

We've listened closely to your feedback, analyzed industry trends (specifically the rise of AI), and challenged ourselves to think outside the box. One example of the latter is a certain feature that reimagines workflows entirely—read on to learn more about it!

Looking back at 2024
This past year has been nothing short of fantastic. I've had a front-row seat to the passion, dedication, and effort put in, and I couldn't be prouder of what we've accomplished. We introduced powerful new AI capabilities, hybrid deployment options, and long-overdue enhancements across multiple modules—all of which have been well received and widely adopted. Of course, there were a few features where we overshot our ambitious timelines, but rest assured, they're well on their way. 

What's coming next
Now let's get down to the business end of this post. We've crafted a roadmap that not only addresses your current needs but also anticipates what you'll need tomorrow. 

Here’s a glimpse at our pipeline:
  • Boards in pages - Enjoy this new visually appealing addition to pages.
  • Visual workflow builder - Utilize our new, game-changing drag-and-drop workflow builder.
  • Change super admin - Transfer ownership of your Creator account effortlessly.
  • Metrics for mobile apps - Gain insights into user engagement and performance.
  • Enhanced audit trail - Track all user actions with an improved audit trail for better governance.
  • Add acyclic dependency apps to environments - Seamlessly deploy apps with cross-references.
  • Payment gateway enhancements - Manage payment gateways and their authorizations from a centralized space.
  • Environment support for custom APIs - Thoroughly test your custom API before going live.
  • FTP/SFTP task in Deluge - Manage files from external servers within Deluge scripts.
  • App logo customization - Personalize your app with custom logos.
  • Text elements & button components in Quick View - Utilize improved customization options for reports.
  • Event pipeline - Tackle heavy data processing effortlessly with FIFO task sequencing.
  • BYOK for encryption - Use your own key encryption key (KEK) instead of Zoho’s KEK.
And there are still a few surprises we can’t wait to unveil! This is just one half of our 2025 vision—we’ll be revealing another projection mid-year. 
Head over to the Product Roadmap page to get more detailed information about these upcoming improvements.

Staying informed
We’ll keep the roadmap page updated with the progress we make; and as each feature nears release, we’ll also share detailed monthly posts to keep you in the loop. Additionally, you can subscribe to our Release Notes to receive email notifications about every new release on our platform.

Tidbits
Before concluding, I thought it would be fun to give you behind-the-scenes details on some of our roadmap features:
  • The visual workflow builder is built on Deluge. As with all things done via the Creator + Deluge combo, the builder will also be gradually extended to other Zoho services.
  • The growth rate of Zia Assistance in Creator has jumped by 38%, reflecting the accelerating impact of AI at Zoho.
  • The metrics for mobile feature is powered by Zoho Apptics, our mobile analytics platform. It provides 360-degree analysis of your app's health, adoption, engagement, and more.
  • The event pipeline was developed in response to an urgent request from a key enterprise customer, which prompted an all-hands-on-deck effort. Remarkably, we went from concept to QA in just 12 days!

We also recently introduced the Zoho Creator Launchpad page, where you can experience the power of our AI capabilities firsthand. Alongside this, we’ve launched the Zoho Creator Resource Center—a clean and centralized hub for accessing all our resources. Go take a look if you haven't already!

We'd like to give a huge thank you to our Partners who constantly push us to think bigger and execute better. And, finally, a special shout out to the entire Creator community; your invaluable feedback and constructive criticism have been instrumental in shaping this platform.

Here’s to another year filled with innovation and success. Thank you for being an integral part of Zoho Creator's journey!
