Zoho CRM custom widget developmentYour own screens inside the Zoho CRM record

When a setting or a field is not enough, a widget is. We build custom Zoho CRM widgets that sit on the record, on a button or in a tab: a phone, a Send SMS window, a template picker, a screen that talks to another system. We have launched them in Zoho CRM for several clients.

  • A phone and a Send SMS window inside the record
  • Templates and scheduled texts
  • Deluge functions behind every widget

How a widget works

  1. 1
    Rep opens it

    From a button, the record page or a web tab

  2. 2
    Widget loads the record

    Reads the lead, deal or contact it was opened from

  3. 3
    Deluge does the work

    A function calls the other system, with credentials kept on the server

  4. 4
    Saved on the record

    The result is written back to Zoho CRM

What a Zoho CRM widget is

A widget is a small web app that runs inside Zoho CRM. It can sit behind a custom button, in a related list, on a dashboard or in a web tab, and it reads and writes Zoho CRM records through Zoho's JavaScript SDK.

Widgets are how you get a real screen into Zoho CRM: a list to pick from, a form with rules, a live phone. The heavy work runs in Deluge functions, so API keys stay on the server and out of the browser.

We build our widgets to be reused. The same Send SMS window and phone widget have gone live for several clients, wired to each client's texting and call platform.

What's included

What Zoho CRM custom widget development includes

Phone widget

The CallTrackingMetrics phone inside Zoho CRM, so reps make and take calls without leaving the record, and the lead opens when a call is answered.

Send SMS window

Pick the number to send from, a phone on file or another number, and a template. Send now or schedule it, with the text history below.

Template picker

Saved SMS templates your team picks from, so common texts go out the same way each time.

Texts tied to records

Inbound texts associated with the right lead, and a new lead created when a text comes from an unknown number.

Consent checks

The widget checks the Approved to SMS field before it sends.

Buttons that run a process

Custom buttons that send a record to another system, start a re-admit, or post a summary to a team channel.

Deluge functions

The server-side functions behind each widget, with error handling and credentials stored in org variables.

Packaged and documented

Each widget packaged, uploaded to your account and documented, so it can be maintained later.

Zoho CRM custom widget development FAQ

Is this a marketplace app?

No. The widgets are built for your Zoho CRM account and connected to your own accounts with the other systems.

Where can a widget go?

Behind a custom button, in a related list, on a dashboard or in a web tab.

Are API keys safe?

Yes. The widget calls a Deluge function, and the function holds the credentials. They are not exposed to the browser.

Have you built these before?

Yes. Our phone widget and Send SMS window have been launched in Zoho CRM for several clients.

Do you have a guide?

Yes. Our Zoho CRM widget development guide walks through the setup we use.
