The CRM Zen Show Episode 294 – Blueprint Desktensions

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • Custom Sync for Notes between CRM and Recruit
    • In this implementation, we’re working with a staffing company that is using CRM and Recruit to manage their sales and hiring processes, respectively
    • They actively used the Notes section in both systems to track ongoing touchpoints and conversations related to the CRM Deal/Recruit Job Opening, and Candidates being considered for those openings
    • In order to ensure there aren’t any missed communications, it was important to this client that a note taken in Recruit would display in the appropriate module of CRM so that all teams have visibility
    • To accomplish this, we first had to build on the CRM/Recruit integration to ensure that ZCRM Deal IDs were stored in Recruit Job Openings when they convert over
    • Then, we used a Zoho Flow (and this Deal ID) to set up automations that will write Notes from one system to the other, immediately triggered upon the saving of a Note record

Code Share of the Week

  • COQL with Special Characters
    • COQL excels at standard queries, but sometimes records contain special characters that throw it off. The special character search functionality solves this by parsing out these characters and searching for each letter or word fragment individually. This unlocks a new level of search precision, ensuring you never miss a record due to unconventional formatting.
    • This functionality replaces all special characters with a comma, then turns the remaining string into a list that is formatted into a list of where clauses.  The final part of the function adds parenthesis at the beginning and end of the where clause so that it can then be effectively formatted as a search query.
