The CRM Zen Show Episode 296 – CRM is my Exportise

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • CRM Deal Workflow Automation via Calendly Integration
    • In this implementation, our goal was to tightly integrate our client’s Calendly booking system into their Deal pipeline
    • Oftentimes, we simply integrate Calendly to Zoho via the user’s calendar, but this integration path will not write the Meeting data to specific Deals (instead, just to Leads/Contacts)
    • Here, the client had a handful of different meeting types in Calendly that require different CRM activity when they are booked
    • Using Zoho Flow, we can listen for new bookings coming through Calendly, with data that includes the type of booking that occurred
    • Then, using Deluge functions within Flow, we can find the relevant open Deal for the Contact who just booked, and automate the appropriate actions (stage changed, task creation, automated email + text)

Code Share of the Week

  • How to upload/delete a file or image in a Zoho CRM upload field
    • This codeshare details how to upload and delete files or images in a Zoho CRM upload field. 
    • For uploads, it involves downloading the file using invokeurl or .toFile(), uploading it to the Zoho File System (ZFS), and then updating the CRM record with the file’s ID. The process includes handling the file ID as a list even for a single file. 
    • For deletion, the method varies slightly between files and images; it requires fetching the attachment ID from the CRM record, then updating the record with the _delete parameter set to null, using the appropriate field API name for either files or images.
