Evaluation Guide / build

Build Custom apps

Tailor-made solutions at your fingertips. Create apps that fit your business like a glove.

Build Custom apps

Custom apps

Cross-platform development

One of the primary benefits of using Zoho Creator for mobile app development is that it supports cross-platform development. This means that a single Zoho Creator app can be deployed on both iOS and Android devices, without the need to create separate versions for each platform. This can save a significant amount of time and money, as there is no need to develop and maintain two separate codebases.

Cross platform development

Visual development environment

Zoho Creator also features a visual development environment, which further reduces the learning curve and makes app development more accessible to non-technical users. The visual environment allows users to drag-and-drop different elements to build their app, without the need to write any code. This makes Zoho Creator an ideal platform for citizen developers, who can create simple apps without any prior coding experience.

Visual development environment

Flexible deployment options

Zoho Creator also offers flexible deployment options for mobile apps. Apps can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment. This flexibility enables organizations to choose the deployment option that best meets their needs, whether it be for security, compliance, or cost considerations.

Flexible deployment options

Offline access

The offline access feature allows users to view and modify their data without relying on an internet connection. By utilizing the Zoho Creator SDK, developers can access core platform services, such as security or data synchronization, enabling the efficient implementation of mission-critical applications with the assurance that their data will remain secure.

Its easy to build forms, placeholders, and menus that are optimized for offline saving, so users can easily access stored data generated from their smartphone or tablet. This makes it incredibly easy to develop applications that bring all necessary business logic online and offline, allowing you to scale your mobile applications regardless of the level of connectivity.

Convenient support for both online and offline usage makes it possible for organizations to maximize productivity in any environment.

Rebranding

Zoho Creator provides the technology to build custom mobile applications with rebranding capabilities, allowing developers to deliver robust user experiences on any device. Users can quickly and easily design their apps in Zoho Creator and customize them with their own brand identity within minutes. No matter their industry or target audience, developers have available APIs that let them integrate third-party elements into their application, such as directory services and Google Maps support, to enhance the functionality of their app.

Rapid application development

The Creator platform was crafted with the concept of "model-driven development", which means that applications are built from predefined models instead of code. This approach allows developers to rapidly create and deploy business applications with minimal coding. In addition, Zoho Creator provides a number of features that make it well suited for rapid application development, including an object-oriented data model, drag-and-drop UI builder, and built-in workflow engine.

It also features a point-and-click data modeler that makes it easy to map data from any source, as well as a SQL query builder that lets users create custom reports and dashboards. Additionally, the platform offers integration with third-party software products, making it easy to extend the capabilities of applications built on the platform.

Custom domains

A custom domain is a unique identifier for an application or service. It allows developers to create unique URLs for their applications, which can be used to access the application from any device or platform. They also make it possible to use monitoring and performance tools to track and optimize the performance of an application. In addition, custom domains can be used to create aliases for applications, which can be used to redirect users to the correct URL, if they enter an incorrect URL.

Built-in authentication

Creator's built-in authentication feature is typically based on the standard OAuth 2.0 protocol. This protocol provides for the use of multiple authentication methods, including password-based authentication, two-factor authentication, and other methods. The OAuth 2.0 protocol also allows for the use of refresh tokens, which can be used to obtain new access tokens when the original access token expires.

Zoho Creator even allows developers to add custom authentication logic. This gives organizations the flexibility to implement the authentication schemes that best fit their needs.

Automated user management

The automated user management feature in Zoho Creator facilitates organizations that regularly add new personnel to their system, as well as those that need to manage complex access permissions for a large group of users. This feature allows administrators to create login credentials automatically when they invite a user, assign roles, and customize permissions for each user, depending on their needs.

Automated user management

Admins can receive real-time notifications when users register, allowing you to keep your records up-to-date. You're also able to create users with a single sign-on workflow for just about any other application, for convenience and time savings. Each created user has access to an online environment where they can modify their account details as well as customize the functionalities of their assigned roles. Administrators have full control over user access and permissions, which reduces potential security risks and keeps the system secure at all times.

The platform also provides tools that enable security features, such as two-factor authentication, password expiration, and email verification.

Integration flows

Integration flows in Zoho Creator offer a powerful and efficient way to synchronize data between two different systems, allowing businesses to truly gain a unified picture of their operations.

Zoho Creator's integration flows provide an advanced way to streamline business processes, combining the power of an integrated application ecosystem with 600+ apps. Integration flows are designed with custom triggers and actions, making it easy to link your data sources together and ensure accurate, real-time information.

600+ application ecosystem

Allowing users to map variables to move information between systems quickly, these integration flows dramatically reduce the time and resources needed to keep up with system updates while adding value to an organization's cycles.

With customizable logs and notifications available, teams can better monitor the progress of integration flow tasks and ensure everything is efficiently synchronized.

Click and configure

Zoho Creator enables users to quickly and effortlessly click and configure cloud-based apps within minutes. Our intuitive low-code platform allows users to build native mobile and web applications directly from the database, without any extra coding.

Configuring screens, data objects, and more is straightforward, with the user only needing to modify parts of the app suited for their own unique needs. The limits of which widgets are ready to use are set based on the role of the user.

The platform's customization tools let you tailor business logic, prioritize preferences, and refine multi-step workflows—all with a few clicks.

Zero backend configurations

Zoho Creator makes it possible to reduce the time and effort needed to configure your backend. With its intuitive drag-and-drop builders and powerful automation tools, you can quickly build a complete system without having to spend hours doing coding or manual configurations. This means that there is no need for external experts to come in and configure the backend, allowing you to save costs while still getting all the benefits of a top-end system.

These advances in technological efficiency provide greater support for product designers, enabling them to focus their attention on building customer-optimized solutions that deliver a superior user experience. The result is a massively enhanced customer satisfaction rate for organizations utilizing Zoho Creator's powerful no-configuration feature set.

Resources are made available for whichever language you decide and, with their help, you can create incredible ventures quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

Write once, execute anywhere

Zoho Creator's serverless functions bring the concept of "write once, execute anywhere" to reality. Developers can create functions which are completely independent of the authoring app, allowing them to add powerful features to an application, without writing a single line of code.

Write once, execute anywhere

Serverless functions powered by Zoho CreatorZoho Creator also enable secure execution by automatically managing authentication and authorization across cloud resources, giving you an extra layer of security. With this feature, the complexity and cost of deployment have been drastically reduced, as developers don't need to worry about infrastructure—no servers, VMs, or even containers to manage.
