For Zoho Services only:


I'm actually part of something bigger at Ascent Business Solutions recognized as the top Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions offer support for smaller technical fixes and projects for larger developments, such as migrating to a ZohoCRM.  A team rather than a one-man-band is always available to ensure seamless progress and address any concerns. You'll find our competitive support rates with flexible, no-expiration bundles at http://ascentbusiness.co.uk/zoho-support-2.  For larger projects, check our bespoke pricing structure and receive dedicated support from our hands-on project consultants and developers at http://ascentbusiness.co.uk/crm-solutions/zoho-crm-packages-prices.

The team I manage specializes in coding API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance/commerce suites such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay; to name but a few.  Our passion lies in creating innovative solutions where others have fallen short as well as working with new businesses, new sectors, and new ideas.  Our success is measured by the growth and ROI we deliver for clients, such as transforming a garden shed hobby into a 250k monthly turnover operation or generating a +60% return in just three days after launch through online payments and a streamlined e-commerce solution, replacing a paper-based system.

If you're looking for a partner who can help you drive growth and success, we'd love to work with you.  You can reach out to us on 0121 392 8140 (UK) or info@ascentbusiness.co.uk.  You can also visit our website at http://ascentbusiness.co.uk.

Zoho CRM: Schedule a Meeting using Deluge

What?
Following on my article of creating a task using Zoho Deluge and scheduling a call using Zoho Deluge, here's an article on creating a Meeting or an Event using Zoho Deluge.

Why?
Because at time of print, I couldn't find that much information on how to build up a JSON request to create a meeting (previously known as Event) in Zoho CRM. Here's a quick snippet of code to remind me.

How?
Similar to how to create a call or task, but with some variation:
copyraw
//
// initialize
m_ScheduleMeeting = Map();
//
// specify parent module
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("$se_module","Leads");
//
// all day meeting
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("All_day",false);
// 
// meeting owner/host ID (can see any record related to this meeting)
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Owner",123456789012345678);
//
// related to what (in this example, a lead record but can be almost any kind of record)
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("What_Id",98765432109876543);
//
// the subject
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Event_Title","TEST Consultation: Call with TEST LEAD");
//
// the description
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Description","More info / agenda");
//
// the type
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Type","Prospective Meeting");
//
// the meeting location
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Venue","Online Meeting");
//
// the start time
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Start_DateTime",zoho.currenttime.addBusinessDay(1).toString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss","America/New_York"));
//
// the end time
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("End_DateTime",zoho.currenttime.addBusinessDay(1).addMinutes(30).toString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss","America/New_York"));
//
// recurring pattern (this one sets to everyday from today)
m_Pattern = Map();
m_Pattern.put("RRULE","FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;DTSTART=2022-03-02");
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Recurring_Activity",m_Pattern);
//
// send invitations to participants?
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("$send_notification",false);
// 
// set participants (contact, email, user, or lead)
m_Participant = Map();
m_Participant.put("type", "lead");
m_Participant.put("participant", 98765432109876543);
l_Participants = List();
l_Participants.add(m_Participant);
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Participants", l_Participants);
//
// with a reminder 5 minutes before (eg. "10 mins", "1 hrs")
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Remind_At","5 Mins");
//
// the meeting status
m_ScheduleMeeting.put("Status","Not Started");
//
// send request and create record
r_CreateMeeting = zoho.crm.createRecord("Events",m_ScheduleMeeting);
//
// output response (for debugging purposes)
