Webinar: Business Process Automation (BPA) with ZOHO CRM
BPA is a highly useful & demanded technology in the market today. We recently organized a Webinar on Business Process Automation with Zoho CRM. Check it out now!
Here are some of the Questions and Answers addressed during the webinar:
1. Can you tell the difference between ZOHO Workflow and ZOHO Blueprint?
Answer – Both the blueprint and the workflow are used for automating certain actions on the basis of certain criteria. However, blueprint is more about the stages of your workflow – it is stage-based. It depends on the configuration, though it is interactive and asks the users certain input. The triggers will be around the stages in the blueprint. Workflows are, however, stand-alone automation which will be executed on the basis of certain criteria.
2. How many steps can be automated using blueprints?
Answer – The steps that can be automated depend on which plan a user is choosing. For example, the Professional plan of ZOHO CRM allows you to automate 10 steps while the Enterprise plan allows 100 steps to be automated. The Free and the Standard plans do not provide any steps by default. (Refer to the webinar video for a clearer view).
3. Can you include custom field in workflow?
Answer – Yes, we can include custom field in workflows. You will need to go to the workflow configuration page where the list of the custom fields is populated. From there, you can easily create and add custom fields.
