For Zoho services only


I'm currently part of a wider delivery team at Ascent Business Solutions, recognised as a leading Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions support organisations with everything from targeted technical fixes through to full Zoho CRM implementations and long-term platform adoption. Working as a team rather than a one-person consultancy allows projects to move forward consistently, with access to the right skills at each stage.

The team I manage specialises in API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance and commerce platforms such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay. Much of our work involves solving integration challenges that fall outside standard documentation, supporting new ideas, new sectors, and evolving business models.

Success is measured through practical outcomes and return on investment, ranging from scaling small operations into high-turnover businesses to delivering rapid gains through online payments, automation, and streamlined digital workflows.

If you are looking for structured Zoho expertise backed by an established consultancy, you can contact Ascent Business Solutions on 0121 392 8140 (UK), email info@ascentbusiness.co.uk, or visit https://www.ascentbusiness.co.uk.
ZohoCRM: Deluge: Map a custom field from user profile

ZohoCRM: Deluge: Map a custom field from user profile

What?
A quick article to remind me how to quickly get a field from a user's settings based on the owner of a record.

Why?
A client had added a custom lookup field to the users settings called "Division" (similar to team name) and wanted any Opportunity record to have a field showing the user's Division. This would help in reporting later down the line.

How?
The following code snippet will get the Opportunity/Deal/Potential record details, then get the Owner frrom the CRM users table, find the value of the custom field and search for this (if it is a lookup to a module - only returns as string), and updates the Opportunity/Deal/Potential record. In this example, the custom field is called "Division":
copyraw
//
// init
v_DealID = ifnull(p_DealID,0);
r_DealDetails = zoho.crm.getRecordById("Deals",v_DealID);
//
// Map users/owners division to this deal
if(!isnull(r_DealDetails.get("Owner")))
{
	l_Users = zoho.crm.getRecordById("users",r_DealDetails.get("Owner").get("id"));
	for each  r_UserDetails in l_Users
	{
		m_UserDetails = r_UserDetails.toMap();
		if(!isnull(m_UserDetails.get("Division")))
		{
			v_DivisionID = "";
			v_DivisionName = m_UserDetails.get("Division");
			l_CrmDivisions = zoho.crm.searchRecords("Divisions","Name:equals:" + v_DivisionName);
			for each  r_Division in l_CrmDivisions
			{
				if(!isnull(r_Division.get("Name")))
				{
					if(r_Division.get("Name") == v_DivisionName)
					{
						v_DivisionID = r_Division.get("id");
					}
				}
			}
			if(v_DivisionID != "")
			{
				m_UpdateDeal = Map();
				m_UpdateDeal.put("Division",v_DivisionID);
				r_UpdateDeal = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Deals",v_DealID,m_UpdateDeal);
				info r_UpdateDeal;
			}
		}
		break;
	}
