Zoho CRM - Redesigned Functions Interface with Python Support

Zoho CRM is rolling out a redesigned Functions experience in phases over two weeks, covering the interface, monitoring, custom views and runtime support.

• Each function now has its own workspace with Overview, Analytics, Revision History, Logs, Failures and Associations sections.
• The Overview section shows function details, REST API accessibility and a unified view of where the function is used across your organisation.
• You can see every entity a function is associated with and filter those associations by module or category.
• References show which other components or functions call the function, and Dependencies show the functions and connections it needs in order to run.
• The Functions tab can be sorted by name, API name, created time or modified time, and filtered by language, category or runtime.
• Built-in views include All Functions, My Functions, Associated, Unassociated, Standalone and Extension Functions.
• You can save your own custom views, filtering by any combination of function name, API name, category, tags, language, runtime, REST API status, association status and created by.
• Tags let you categorise functions, and you can add or remove tags on several functions at once.
• Saved views can be edited, cloned or deleted from the Manage Views panel.
• Analytics charts cover total invocations, success and failure rates, credit consumption, execution time and execution by language, source and module across a 30-day window.
• Python 3.12 is now supported alongside Node.js 22 and Java 17, and you can write code in the redesigned IDE or upload a ZIP file from an external editor.
• Support for Node.js 24, Python 3.13 and Java 25 is due within two months.
• Functions written in Java, Node.js and Python include the Zoho Request Client, which handles authentication automatically for Zoho CRM API calls and can also call other Zoho services and third-party APIs.
• Sorting and custom views rely on Created Time, Modified Time and Created By, which are only populated for recently created functions.
• Zoho has confirmed further work on user mode API invocation, user-based connections, an advanced logs interface and AI-assisted development.

Availability: Rolling out to all data centres in phases over two weeks.
