How Creators used Creator

You’ve evolved with us, too, and keep amazing us with what you do on Creator. Here’s a glimpse of how you leveraged Zoho Creator in 2022.

What’s new with Zoho Creator

With the recent launch of Creator 6, our holistic solutions development platform, we let you focus on features, business value, and customers—not code. Here are our top 6 feature picks for 2022:

  • Augmented Reality

    This allows our users to create applications which render 3D models and let users annotate them. This adds an immersive option to apps built on Creator.

  • Branding Options

    We made customization options available for company name, company logo, theme color, and font family, which help in establishing brand consistency.

  • Android Updates

    We've now extended support to the latest Android features by generating Android App Bundle (.aab) files, which provides users with a seamless mobile app publishing process. Also, users can now access Creator apps through Dark Mode on their Android devices.

  • Custom Connectors

    Custom connectors enable you to integrate your Zoho Creator application with other third-party cloud services which are not available via built-in connectors. You can configure your own connectors for services with Basic, API Key, and OAuth2 authentication.

  • Blueprint Analytics

    While Blueprint helps the organization in streamlining its processes, Blueprint Analytics provides analytics that can be used to optimize the blueprint further.

    Blueprint Analytics has nine different charts that give you valuable insights into your blueprint processes.

  • In-app Notification

    All your notifications are now consolidated and listed as cards under the Notifications pane. The icon and text in the Notifications pane have been designed to help you quickly infer relevant information.
