- Category: Zoho Deluge
- Hits: 35692
This is a quick article on how to generate a 5 letter code from several functions: one which returns 5 randomly selected characters and another two which convert a number to 5 letters.
Why?
Zoho doesn't have a function to generate random numbers or strings. There are workarounds however.

This is a quick article on different ways to get the current user ID in Zoho through code.
How?
I'm not a fan of method #1 but I only started developing in Zoho recently when API v1 was already being deprecated (end of life at the end of this year). So I'm familiar with the methods in API v2 or just using newer functions.

A quick post on how I managed to build a regex to extract all non-numeric characters (all non-digits) from a string.
Why?
I only want the digits/numbers from a string:
v_PaymentTerms = "Credit Note - 30 Days"; // we want the 30 from the above string

Zoho Deluge - Update Creator from CRM
- Category: Zoho Deluge
- Hits: 39861
This is an article documenting how to update Creator from a workflow written in a Deluge Script held in ZohoCRM.
Why?
I've also started this article to document an issue we encountered where our code was as per the documentation provided, and the responses returned as successful, but the target fields did not update. This was as a result after changing the owner of the Creator app to another person and adding our previous Super Admin account as a "Developer".
How?
I'm going to demo two methods here using the <connection_link>

Just wanted a note to get in my head the logic if checking a requested time slot isn't a double-booking (as in, the time slot doesn't overlap a previous booking.

Zoho Deluge: Loop through 30 Minute Slots
- Category: Zoho Deluge
- Hits: 23049
This code snippet took me a while to do and the documentation is flaky so I thought I'd make a note here just in case I need to refer to it again.
Why?
I want to modify a picklist and fill it with options from a certain time of the day to the closing time of the day (working hours).
How?
The plan is to iterate through a 24-hour clock, enable adding to the picklist when the starting hour is found and stop adding when the closing hour is found. The picklist field is called "Time_Field".
Zoho Deluge - MD5 function
- Category: Zoho Deluge
- Hits: 22015
So this is NOT an article on how to create a MD5 function for an ETag in Zoho Deluge as I expected it would be. At time of print, the Zoho documentation (and Google search results) make no mention of using MD5 in an encryption task.
Why?
I'm trying to create an ETag for a synchronization process between Zoho Creator and Zoho CRM. Combining all the fields to compare into a single field can't be done via the documented methods (base64, urlencode or AES) as this exceeds 255 characters (it could be a multiline but this would defeat the objective of an Etag).
