Implementation of the Week
- Priority Based Relationship Building in Zoho CRM via Zoho Analytics
- This implementation is centered around a method to give ourselves a way to create record-to-record associations in CRM when the data may be messy or unformatted (especially after a migration)
- First, we pull all of the data into Analytics. For example, we could use this process for relating Accounts and Deals
- For example, a Deal may have fields for Account ID, Company Name, and website (of course, this isn’t optimal, but we often are brought in to fix these kinds of issues)
- We can use SQL in Analytics to create a priority-based JOIN statement that will look for matches on Account ID, then Company Name, then website
- If a match is found using a “higher priority” field, we will use that. Otherwise, we check the next option
- Last, the data is formatted for easy import to CRM with the necessary record IDs listed (in this case, Account ID and Deal ID)
Code Share of the Week
- Using Client Scripting to add a default Product when creating a Quote in CRM
- Using Client Scripting, we can now add a default product to the “Quoted Items” subform when creating a Quote in the CRM. For example, if you are consistently adding a “Shipping Cost” line item, you can have it now auto-populate whenever you go to create a Quote.
