Workflow rules
React the moment a record is created, edited or reaches a date: send emails, update fields, create tasks or call a function.
Zoho Automation
Zoho automation that takes the busywork off your team.
Workflow rules, Blueprints, approvals and Deluge functions configured around how your teams actually work, so follow-ups, updates and hand-offs happen on their own.

The toolkit
Built with Zoho's own automation tools.
We start with the native features your edition already includes, and only write custom code where a rule can't express the logic.
Blueprint
Guide each record through set stages, with mandatory fields and checks at every transition so nothing skips a step.
Approval processes
Route discounts, expenses and transactions to the right approver before they go through.
Assignment rules
Hand new leads and tickets to the right owner by region, product or round robin.
Deluge functions
Custom logic for calculations, cross-module updates and calls to other systems.
Schedules
Run clean-ups, reminders and recurring jobs at a set time without anyone pressing a button.
Zoho Flow
Connect Zoho and third-party apps with visual, no-code flows.
Zia
Zoho's AI assistant for predictions, suggestions and anomaly alerts inside your apps.

Lead assignment, follow-up reminders, approvals, record updates, emails and WhatsApp alerts, invoice creation, ticket routing, escalations and recurring reports are common starting points. If a step follows a rule, it can usually be automated.
A workflow rule reacts to an event, such as a record being created or a field changing. A Blueprint guides a record through defined stages and controls what must happen at each transition, which suits processes like approvals or onboarding.
When the logic involves calculations, conditions across several modules, calls to other apps or external APIs, or anything the point-and-click options can't express. We keep Deluge to the cases that genuinely need it.
Yes. Many Zoho apps integrate natively, and Deluge, webhooks and Zoho Flow let one app trigger actions in another, for example a won deal in CRM creating an invoice in Books.
Yes. We audit existing rules for overlaps, conflicts and silent failures, retire what's no longer used and document what remains.
This depends on the systems involved, API availability, data complexity, testing requirements and business rules. These are typical Xevort project estimates, not fixed delivery commitments.
