When buying a suit, most people opt for a custom fit rather than a ready-made one because it's an investment they will use for years. This principle of personalization applies beyond clothing. According to a study, customers who personalize their products experience a significant increase in satisfaction and emotional attachment. Personalized products meet individual needs better and foster deeper connections, making them more valuable and cherished by consumers.
Zoho Cliq embodies this principle as a business collaboration tool that caters to a wide range of general use cases. It also offers a flexible framework that allows users to customize it to meet their specific needs. This adaptability enhances user satisfaction and loyalty by providing a tailored experience that a one-size-fits-all product cannot match.
The Zoho Cliq Platform includes various tools that enable users to customize their experience. These tools include bots, commands, widgets, and more. You can also combine and publish them as plug-and-play extensions in the Marketplace, making them accessible to all Zoho Cliq users.
A closer look at widgets in Zoho Cliq
Widgets are powerful tools designed to display any kind of data. They support elements like tables, iframes, and more, which lets you show the data in a highly customized manner. Additionally, they can integrate with other applications and also support webhooks, thereby letting you display live data.
Using these capabilities, widgets can offer dynamic and interactive data in a visual format, which lets you analyze and act on information in real time. For example, you can integrate a widget with Zoho CRM to display sales data or connect the widget with a project management tool like Asana to monitor progress and deadlines. The ability to pull in live data from various sources using webhooks ensures that the displayed information is always up to date and relevant.
