The CRM Zen Show Episode 224 – One Billion Dollars! Mwah-ha-ha-ha!

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • Books/Analytics – Automated Books Customer Balance Notifications with Analytics Audit Logging
    • In this implementation, our goal was to develop a method for our client to more easily notify and manage Customer Accounts with open receivable balances
    • We first built an automated scheduler within Zoho Books that sends out Customer Account Balance statements on a regular basis 
    • This sends an email with a rollup of receivables as dynamic HTML, along with a PDF attachment including payment links for each open invoice
    • To provide reporting on this function’s performance, we log all emails sent into an Audit Log table within ZAnalytics
    • Using this data, we can provide roll-up reporting to our client to see all Customer Open Balances, as well as the last time they were notified about required payments

Code Share of the Week

  • Extracting First Instance of Regex from Text 
    • In this example, we will extract the first matching instance of our specified RegEx pattern from our sample text.
    • Identify RegEx Pattern and Construct Extracting Variable
    • Identify your RegEx pattern and assign it to a variable. In this example, we will use a Zip Code RegEx pattern. This RegEx pattern will be placed in a capture group within an extracting RegEx pattern. The “.replaceAll” formula will be used to perform the extracting action.
