CRM FOMO is real.   

You could be doing everything right and still miss the beat. That’s where we come in.

Zoho CRM Community Digest!

 

Every two weeks, we bring you the insider scoop on all things CRM: brand-new features, time-saving tips, clever workarounds, forum gems, and posts you wish you had seen sooner. And the best part? If you have been active in the forums, you might see your name in the spotlight. Yes, we are watching!

So, are you ready to see what everyone’s been talking about?

Product Updates

Chart View is now in CRM modules!

Visualizing data used to mean switching tabs, requesting access, and setting up components in the Analytics tab. Now, with Chart View, anyone with access to the module can create visual charts directly within it. You can group fields, switch between chart types in real-time, and gain insights without leaving the module. Plus, you can publish charts, share them, and even print them. Want to know more? Read the post.

Introducing Grid View in Zoho CRM!

Grid View, a spreadsheet-style layout inside modules, lets you view, edit, and manage multiple records in a grid format. You can edit cells directly, instantly updating the record, approve records, and even create new ones, right from the module's list view. Check the announcement post, loaded with videos, to learn more.

Timeline View is now in CRM modules!

Timeline View gives you a visual way to manage your records over time inside CRM. You can now see your records laid out over time with start and end dates, across standard and custom modules. As Ivan Staykov puts it, "For us, this is a phenomenal improvement, well done!".  Additionally, you can color-code by field, apply filters, and understand task duration and progress at a glance. Explore more about it in this post.


Split View is now in CRM modules!

Tired of scrolling through one long list or constantly switching filters? Split View lets you create separate categorized sections within the same module, almost like stacked mini-tables arranged separately based on a field value. For example, a sales manager can categorize Account records by revenue tiers and instantly view high-value accounts without navigating away.

You can expand or collapse each category, sort records within them, and compare data across groups, all in a single view. No need to switch tabs or create separate views, as Switch View enables it all seamlessly.

 

Check out the announcement post for a full breakdown and detailed use cases.


Keep your Sales Journey in Path Finder!

If you haven’t checked your Path Finder reports lately, your default Sales Journey setup might be cleared soon. Now, you can keep it safe by clicking the Retain button in the Path Finder. Make sure you do it before July 15, 2025, to keep your journey, stats, and logs intact. Take a look at the post to learn how to do it.

Webinar integration now works in CRM Sandboxes!

You can now safely test your Zoho Webinar setup in the sandbox without impacting live data or sending real emails. Admins can integrate and configure webinars (user access, reminders, registrant sync, polls, reports), test registration flows via the Campaigns module, and once you've confirmed that the integration works correctly in the Sandbox, you can proceed to deploy it into production. Read the post to learn more!

Upsert operation: Preserve your timeline integrity

Migrating data from a legacy system to Zoho CRM is critical, especially for preserving historical timelines. Previously, missing data meant having to repeat the entire migration to preserve the timeline's integrity, a time-consuming process with large data sets. Now, with the Upsert operation, you can update or insert missing records without affecting the original chronology, all while keeping your original logs safe. Curious how it works? Find out more in the post.

Rich text and image uploads are now in the Zoho CRM Mobile app!

Zoho CRM Mobile app just got a whole lot richer! iOS users can now format multi-line fields with bold, italics, colors, links, and even emojis, using a built-in toolbar. You can also upload up to 10 images per record on both iOS and Android. View field tool tips added in the Zoho CRM web version directly in the iOS app. Both static tool tips (text inside the field) and info tool tips(shown as an info icon) are supported. Check the announcement post, complete with screenshots, to learn more.

New updates in CPQ make quoting even easier!

You can now set up dynamic actions in the Product Configuration that adjust values based on other products added in the quote. Plus, quickly clone existing Product Configurations and Price Rules instead of creating them from scratch. Read the full post to learn how it works.

Community Discussion Highlights!

This time, it’s all about smart fixes and developer know-how. From client scripts to API workarounds, the community shared some solid solutions. We’ve grouped them into Quick Wins, "Client Scripts and Functions", and Developer's Corner, so you can jump right in.

Quick Wins:

Migrating Salesforce emails into CRM?

@Anonymous User wanted to bring their email history from Salesforce into Zoho CRM, but there’s no direct import option. @Max Tyack jumped in with a clever workaround that made it possible. Curious how the email records were moved smoothly? Check out this post to see Max's suggestion!

Client Scripts and Functions:

Making file upload fields mandatory

While there’s no direct way to mark file upload fields as mandatory through layouts or Blueprints, @Anonymous User  guided @Anonymous User with a workaround using client scripts on the edit page. Check out this post for the code and full discussion.

Filtering by multiple lookup fields in COQL

Learn how to build a COQL query that includes conditions on multiple lookup fields. Check @Haiku's tips to understand how @Anonymous User fixed the syntax issues in their query. Check out the post for the tip!

Matching Deals with quarterly records by date range

@Annya needed to look up a record from a custom module based on the Deal’s Closing Date falling within a Start and End Date range, and then update the Deal with that record’s Quarter Code. @Anonymous User stepped in with a  Deluge function that used COQL to fetch the right record and update the Deal automatically. @Anonymous User also shared a helpful COQL example for dynamic date-based lookups. And the best part? It worked. Check out the full post for the code and other details.

Developer’s Corner:

Get Deals by Territory with Zoho CRM’s Get Records API

Check out @Anonymous User's response in this post to understand how you can retrieve records in a specific territory using the Get Records API. @Anonymous User tried to filter a Deluge query by territory, but since COQL does not support that filter, Hugh suggested this API-based approach. Check out the post for the code and more details.
