CRM Zen Show Episode 189 – March Finance Madness

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • Integration of Scheduled Email Report to Zoho Analytics
    • Oftentimes, we can integrate with external sources using REST API integrations 
    • Sometimes, however, 3rd party software either does not have a REST API, or their API can be buggy/broken
    • In this case, the 3rd party tool had a buggy API that we could not rely on, BUT, it can schedule exports (via spreadsheet) to be delivered via email
    • CRM Email Parser used to parse these scheduled exports into CRM custom record (including attachment)
    • Custom function triggered on the creation of the custom module entry to read the attachment and upload to Analytics running table

Application / Plug-In of the Week

  • SaneBox
    • Brett’s favorite pick EVER.
    • An “Inbox Zero” tool that actually works.
  • CRMOZ
    • For those of you who don’t know, CRMOZ are very talented developers and Zoho partners based out of Ukraine.  We ask that everyone check out their Zoho Marketplace shop and if any of the plugins they sell are a potential fit, they could really use the extra support right now.
