The CRM Zen Show Episode 256 – Magic 8 Ball Says Outlook Not So Good

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • Generating Product Labels via Zoho Creator and/or Inventory
    • In this implementation, our goal was to make it easy for our customer to generate scannable bar codes for items that also include their warehouse location
    • First, we set up a database in Creator where our customer can store information about their products including: SKU, Item Name, Bin Location. You could use your existing ZInventory list for this
    • Then, the user can click the “Generate Label” button, which kicks off the process
    • This button triggers a function that invokes a 3rd Party API to create a barcode for that SKU, and formats it into include the Item Name and Bin Location
    • It opens this label image into a Print-screen for easy printing, and saves the barcode image connected to that product for future usage

Code Share of the Week

  • Scheduled Duplicate Monitoring
    • This functionality was proposed to assist with checking for duplicate records in the CRM utilizing a COQL query.  The advantage is that we can now calculate aggregates in COQL queries and so can get the count of records that fit within certain parameters.  Here is how we can use it to check up on duplicate records:
      • Start by setting up a CRM connection with the “COQL” scope and the “Records.Modules.All” scope so that we can access the record data, and set up a connection to “Cliq” will at least need the “ZohoCliq.Webhooks.Create” scope.
      • A scheduled function can be set up using this function to simply check for duplicate records and message a cliq channel so that users can be kept up to date on if a duplicate record is found.

Tips and Tricks

  • Reply Tracking Alternative In Zoho Campaigns
    • Something that we find many don’t know about is the built-in reply tracking with Zoho Campaigns creates a not desirable reply URL.  Here is a workaround to make it come from your address instead.
