Implementation of the Week

• Automated Storage of Sales Order PDFs in Customer-Specific Workdrive Folders
  • In this implementation, our goal was to configure an automation to generate and store PDF copies of all created Sales Orders within Workdrive
  • This allows these PDFs to be easily available for clients in the future via a customer portal that pulls in the Workdrive link 
  • To accomplish this, we configured a workflow + deluge automation within Zoho Books that triggers upon the confirmation of a Sales Order
  • We access the Zoho Books REST API, which provides an endpoint to download the PDF copy of the Sales Order
  • Then, we pull the Workdrive Folder Info from the CRM Customer Account record
  • Last, we use that Workdrive data to upload our Sales Order PDF to the appropriate folder

Code Share of the Week

• Access and Update Zoho Desk Custom Lookup Fields via API
  • This code share is more of a PSA that has to do specifically to Zoho Desk custom lookup fields. In order to update or access Zoho Desk custom lookup fields you have to pass in an extra parameter to the headers for the api call. This functionality applies to both standard and custom modules in Zoho Desk.
