The CRM Zen Show Episode 199 – When Chase Closes a Door, HSBC Opens a Window

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • CRM/Campaigns – Automated Topic Assignment via CRM Tags
    • This is built in the new CRM/Campaigns sync, which requires the usage of Topics for including Contacts in mailings
    • First, we set up fields in the Contacts (Tags, in this case) that we will use to define with which topics a contact should be associated
    • Then, sync All Contacts into a master Mailing List via the new sync methodology
    • Last, we use a Campaigns Workflow (often used for automated emails/SMS, but they can be used for MUCH more) to sort the Contacts by Tags and associate them with the proper Topics

Code Share of the Week

  • Null Checks
    • We’ve all been there. Your function works perfectly when you test it, then it goes live and someone pings you a week or two later and says “Hey, your thing didn’t work”. How?!? You didn’t change the code, so how can it have worked fine for a week and suddenly break? Because Null happens.
