The CRM Zen Show Episode 276 – Subform, Peter, Subform

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • Custom Integration for Zoho CRM & Zoho Recruit for Launching Multiple Job Openings from One Deal
    • In this implementation, our goal was to provide our staffing agency client a pathway for launching the hiring process for multiple positions at once based on a newly signed proposal.
    • To accomplish this, we first created a subform on the CRM Deal to track the positions to be hired, as well as the number of hires required for each role.
    • The list of available positions (and default pay rates) are pulled via a list unique to the specific client for that Deal.
    • Upon winning the Deal, first the subform data is written into a custom module connected to the Account.
    • Then, a Job Opening in Recruit is created for each open position, with the appropriate number of available hires.
    • Lastly, as Candidates are hired, and the Job Opening is eventually closed, the CRM is updated with relevant information for ongoing account management.

Code Share of the Week

  • Zoho Projects & Zoho Sprints Integration via API
    • If you have ever wanted to have a Zoho Sprints Project created automatically when creating a Project within Zoho Projects via a Deluge function or API, then this will be for you!
    • Until very recently, it was not possible to have a Sprints Project created when creating a Project within Zoho Projects from a template using API despite the “Add template to Zoho Sprints” checkbox being enabled on the template. What you would have needed to do is instead create a Project within Zoho Projects manually and choosing to create it from the template desired.
    • We are thrilled to report that Zoho has now added an endpoint to their API to allow for this integration! All that you will need to do now is in your custom function, add the following line to your project creation map.
