Implementation of the Week
- Phone Number Format Standardization via Zenatta’s first Zoho plug-in
- Phone number formatting can be a thorn in many of our clients side, as customer or employee entry of these values can differ greatly
- Using Zoho’s Developer platform, our team created a plug-in that will deploy workflows and custom functions automatically to a client’s CRM instance
- This plug-in allows the user to specify what phone number format they would prefer when they are configuring the plugin
- Once the phone number is defined, the system uses regex expressions to standardize all phone numbers upon initial fill, or future updates
