Implementation of the Week
- Automated File Management as Component of CRM Cases Workflows
- In this implementation, we’re working in the CRM Cases module where records are created via a Zoho Form integration
- These cases represent specific service requests placed to our client
- These service requests oftentimes contain video/photo attachments provided by the customer
- Natively, these attachments are added to the Attachments related list on the CRM Case
- However, our client is a heavy user of ZWorkDrive to avoid paying the high costs for additional CRM file storage
- To solve for this, we set up a custom function that runs after Case creation
- This function searches the related Account for a WorkDrive Folder URL created specifically for that Account
- The files will be placed in a subfolder for that Case within the Account-specific folder
- Lastly, the files are linked back to the case for easy access, and the CRM attachments are deleted to not inflate storage amounts.
Code Share of the Week
- Update CRM Deals with CallRail Data
- CallRail is a call tracking tool that provides UTM data on leads that call your business.
- This snippet is used in connection with Zoho Flow and Zoho Analytics to move that data from CallRail to Zoho CRM.
- The basic idea is a Zoho Flow that triggers on a CallRail webhook payload and adds it to an analytics table. Then a pivot table shows only data rows that are not synced to the CRM.
