Zoho Flow automationDeluge functions and workflows that take the busywork off your team

Your team should not copy data between modules or retype a lead's source. We build the automation in Zoho CRM: workflow rules, Zoho Flow, Deluge custom functions, scheduled functions, webhooks and buttons that run your process for you.

  • Zoho Flow for app-to-app automation
  • Deluge custom and scheduled functions
  • Webhook triggers and cross-module updates
  • Buttons that run a process in one click

How the automation works

  1. 1
    Trigger

    A record is created or changed, a webhook arrives, a button is clicked or a schedule runs

  2. 2
    Logic

    A workflow rule, a Zoho Flow or a Deluge function decides what happens

  3. 3
    Action

    Records updated across modules, another app called, or a person alerted

  4. 4
    Error alert

    If a step fails, your team gets an email instead of a silent gap

Zoho Flow, workflows or Deluge?

Zoho CRM workflow rules handle the simple cases: when a field changes, update another, send an email, create a task.

Zoho Flow connects Zoho CRM to other apps without code, and it fits when one event needs to reach more than one system.

Deluge is Zoho's scripting language. Custom functions handle the logic settings cannot: parsing a URL into fields, updating related records across modules, calling another system's API, or running on a schedule. We pick the right tool for each step and document what runs where.

What's included

What Zoho Flow automation includes

Lead source automation

The lead source and marketing channel filled in from the tracking data on every lead, by rules you agree on.

URL parameters to fields

Landing page URLs parsed into campaign and source fields, so every lead carries its tracking.

Cross-module updates

A change on one record updates the others, like a discharge date that moves a contact to alumni.

Scheduled functions

Deluge functions that run on a schedule to sync records with another system and email a summary of mismatches.

Webhook triggers

Calls, chats and forms from other systems arriving by webhook and creating or updating the right record.

Buttons

Custom buttons that run a process, like a re-admit button that starts a new deal, or one that sends a summary and attachment to a team channel.

Zoho Flow

Flows between Zoho CRM and other apps, and auto responders turned on or off so contacts get the replies you want.

Failure alerts and docs

An email when an automation fails, and a written list of every automation in your account.

Zoho Flow automation FAQ

What is Deluge?

Deluge is Zoho's scripting language. It runs custom functions inside Zoho CRM, from buttons, workflows, schedules or webhooks.

When do you use Zoho Flow instead of Deluge?

Zoho Flow fits app-to-app steps that do not need custom logic. Deluge fits when the logic is specific to your process or has to call an API directly.

What happens if an automation fails?

We add error handling and email alerts, so a failure reaches your team and gets fixed.

Can you clean up automation someone else built?

Yes. We list every workflow, flow and function, remove duplicates, move credentials into org variables, and document what is left.

How is it priced?

By project, not by the hour. The first call is free, and you get a project quote after it.
