Calling the new 'Custom API' feature from within a Custom Widget

Calling the new 'Custom API' feature from within a Custom Widget

From what I've learned it is not possible to call an endpoint from the new "Custom API" feature within a Creator Widget. The SDK's doesn't support it yet, when calling it natively you end up with CORS issues or at least I couldn't get it working even with proxies.

I think this is a crucial feature to use the Custom API not only from third-party apps, but certainly from widgets within Zoho too! This allows you to combine multiple calls into one and simplifies the logic in such custom widgets immensely.

      Hi,  My company sells leather and fabric for interiors- sofas, chairs, curtains etc. Our clients are all interior designers, architects or furniture manufacturers. What is the best way to track what samples/catalogues we have sent? If the project is fairly certain, for example, for a specific hotel renovation, then we'll track this as an opportunity, as the project has a definite date, budget and is sure to happen (we may of course lose the project, but we want to bid for it). If the designer just

    • Reporting phishing emails to Zoho?

      I came across a few threads after searching for info about reporting phishing emails to Zoho. From what I read, it appears that Zoho doesn't want to hear about phishing. You suggest marking such messages as Spam. Phishing and spam are separate issues, and I believe that phishing is the more dangerous. A user who is not paying close attention is in danger of giving away important data - usernames, passwords, email addresses, SSNs, etc. - to people who are happy to misuse such data and victimize email
