The CRM Zen Show Episode 247 – Make ’em An Offer They Can’t Refuse

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • Dialpad SMS Integration for Zoho CRM via Zoho Flow
    • In this implementation, our goal was to build a custom integration between Dialpad and Zoho CRM to track inbound and outbound SMS messages in CRM
    • To accomplish this, we set up a Zoho Flow (webhook triggered) that fires off every time an SMS is sent/received by Dialpad
    • This Flow uses custom functions to check against the CRM to identify the Lead, Contact, or even Custom Module entry that is relevant to this SMS (based on the phone numbers)
    • We also determine if the SMS was sent TO our client, or sent FROM our client to their prospects/customers
    • Each one of these messages is logged into CRM in a custom module, making it easy to view specific messages for a given Lead/Contact, and easy to pull aggregate reports on this data later

Code Share of the Week

  • Zoho CRM :: Filtering Custom Views using URL Parameters
    • In this code share I walk you through how to append parameters to a URL so that you can filter records dynamically on a custom view.
    • In this example I create a custom function that is triggered by a button on a task record to view similar tasks that have the same subject line. However, you can modify this code to work with other fields as well as compound multiple fields into the filter criteria. You can also modify this to work with dynamic links in internal emails or buttons in other modules.
  • Mask Data in a Custom View using Client Script 
    • Zoho has been upgrading the Client Scripting functionality in the CRM with triggers for the standard detail view as well as the standard list view.
    • One use case is if you have a custom view with sensitive data that you want your employees to see just enough to be able to confirm with a customer but not enough to see the whole thing.
