Zoho Custom Widgets

Enhancing App Capabilities with Widgets

Widgets serve as embeddable UI components within Zoho CRM, Desk, Creator, etc. Offering the flexibility to integrate functionalities from third-party applications seamlessly. Leveraging our JS SDK, users can create and customize widgets tailored to their specific needs. In scenarios where conventional CRM features fall short, widgets offer a solution. Take, for example, the need for a dial-pad feature. While typically not included in CRM systems, users can easily create and incorporate such functionalities using Zoho CRM’s widget capabilities.

 

Consider a situation where diverse metrics are tracked using various external tools like analytics software or website monitoring services. With widgets, users can consolidate data from these sources directly within Zoho CRM. For instance, a widget displaying a heatmap of sales distribution across a city provides valuable insights for strategic planning. By identifying areas of high and low sales activity, users can optimize their approach and allocate resources effectively.

  • Integrate external apps seamlessly into your Creator app environment
