Implementation of the Week
- Asset Tracking in Zoho CRM, Desk, and FSM
- In this implementation, our goal was to provide the client a way to track Tickets against specific Assets purchased by the client across applications.
- To accomplish this, we first created a custom module in Zoho CRM and Desk to store the Asset data. FSM has an Asset module by default.
- Then, we configured a function such that, once the Asset is logged in Zoho CRM the client can press a button to push the completed Asset data to Desk and FSM.
- Lastly, upon creation of Assets in Desk and FSM, we bring back the Asset IDs from those apps back into CRM for future integration usage.
- This allows our client to work Tickets, and create/schedule Work Orders against those Assets in Desk/FSM.
Code Share of the Week
- Automating Zoho Invoice ACH Payment Checkbox Using Analytics and CRM
- Using Zoho Analytics, Zoho CRM, and Deluge scripting, automate the “Pay via Bank Account” field in Zoho Invoice to mark it as enabled.
- Pull relevant data from Zoho Invoice into Zoho Analytics, schedule regular data imports, and create a query table to identify customers without bank account payment enabled.
- Use custom functions in Zoho CRM to export data from Zoho Analytics, retrieve and process the data, and update Zoho Invoice records through API calls, ensuring bank account payments are marked as supported for the identified customers.
