The post Vtiger Microsoft Email Integration appeared first on Boru Inc..
]]>In the not-so-distant past, sending emails from third-party apps like Vtiger, Outlook, or Thunderbird was straightforward—requiring nothing more than an account name and a password. However, as Pat OBrien mentioned, major email providers like Microsoft and Google have rightfully sought to increase security measures around email communication.
The first step towards tighter security involved the introduction of app passwords—an additional layer of authentication that complemented your regular login credentials. This approach, however, was merely a stepping stone to what is now the industry standard: OAuth authentication.
OAuth can sound intimidating, but it essentially represents a more secure handshake between your email provider and third-party applications, which includes Vtiger. Thanks to the work of teams like ours at Boru, programming efforts have made it possible to integrate this higher level of authentication seamlessly. Once your Vtiger CRM has the necessary code—that we at Boru craft and implement—you can authenticate it using standard Microsoft or Google login credentials. This means that OAuth doesn’t just elevate security; it also simplifies it once set up.
The addition of Vtiger Microsoft OAuth has benefits for Vtiger users. Not only does it enable outgoing email capabilities through a new menu option in Vtiger’s interface, but it also supports features like the mail converter, which is crucial for managing emails and tickets. Furthermore, the email link or extensions benefit significantly from OAuth, linking incoming emails to the correct contacts within the CRM.
Boru’s ethos in development, as Pat O’Brien stated, revolves around minimizing interference with Vtiger’s existing code. By adding files rather than altering them, we ensure that future system upgrades can be executed smoothly. Our expertly crafted extensions and OAuth implementation follow this philosophy, making it straightforward for users to authenticate and secure their email settings within Vtiger.
When setting up Vtiger Microsoft OAuth Email, administrators will navigate different paths for Google and Microsoft accounts. With Google, the process involves accessing the Google API console to obtain the client ID and client secret. Meanwhile, Microsoft requires the creation of an application within the Azure platform. Each process has been streamlined and documented to ensure that Vtiger seamlessly integrates with your preferred email service.
Adopting OAuth for email within Vtiger is an unequivocal step forward in CRM security. While it’s a change that comes with a learning curve, the outcome is a more protected, efficient, and trustworthy email communication system within your CRM. At Boru, we’re committed to ensuring that this transition is as smooth as possible for our clients, with detailed guidance and custom solutions to meet each business’s unique needs.
In conclusion, as we evolve alongside tools like Vtiger and embrace stronger authentication protocols like OAuth, we secure not just our emails, but also the integrity and reliability of our CRM platforms. It’s an effort that will, undoubtedly, pay dividends in terms of both security and functionality.

]]>Starting with Vtiger 5, upgrading your CRM platform is more than just clicking a ‘update’ button. You see, each version lays the groundwork for the next, creating a unique upgrade path that must be navigated carefully to reach the ultimate destination: Vtiger 7. The process is incremental, ushering you through various versions, each a stepping stone to new features and improvements.
Beyond the Vtiger update, the PHP environment underlying your CRM system is essential, predominantly for security reasons. With an updated PHP version, you not only shield your data better but also enhance compatibility with third-party apps or extensions that might require a specific PHP version. In the world where I operate, keeping PHP up-to-date is paramount, not just for security but also for performance; newer PHP versions can give your site a speed boost!
At Boru, we understand that your CRM system is the lifeblood of your customer interactions. That’s why we take an approach that allows for a seamless, interruption-free upgrade. Whether we initially set up your environment or jump into an existing setup, we thoroughly assess it to provide you with an accurate estimate for the PHP and Vtiger upgrades.
We kick off with what we call a ‘dry run’ — a meticulous trial of the upgrade process on a clone of your CRM. This step is vital. It allows us to fine-tune the upgrade without disrupting your daily operations. We meticulously test each version in succession and validate the final version rigorously, ensuring that everything is running smoothly.
When we’re confident everything is in place, we establish a production cut-off time. During this window, users are advised not to make changes in the system, allowing us to implement the upgrade. It’s the moment of truth where the dry run pays off, as we apply the upgrade directly. And just like that, we transport your system into the future — the latest Vtiger version, now harmoniously working with the updated PHP environment.
And once the upgrade is complete, it’s business as usual! Users can dive back into an enhanced, secure, and faster system without ever having experienced downtime or data loss. That’s the beauty of how we at Boru make it happen.
The CRM world is constantly evolving, and with Boru’s touch, upgrading your Vtiger system doesn’t have to be daunting. It’s not just an upgrade — it’s a leap towards greater efficiency and security. So here’s to moving forward, to smoother workflows, enhanced features, and peace of mind knowing your CRM system is geared up to face the future. Let’s explore the new horizons together!
If you’re ready to take your Vtiger CRM to the next level with a thorough and considerate upgrade, reach out to us. We’re here to guide you through each step, ensuring your CRM system keeps running at its best. Thank you for considering the potential of your CRM system and the importance of staying current.

]]>Reflecting on my recent interaction with our esteemed clients, I recall my emphasis on the importance of staying current with your Vtiger versions. Picture this: you’re cruising along on Vtiger 5, yet the horizon promises the sleek advancements of Vtiger 7. That may seem a handful, but it’s a journey we’ve navigated countless times.
Boru’s structured approach involves a meticulous, step-by-step upgrading pathway that we’ve perfected over the years. Migrating from an older version to a more recent one such as Vtiger 7 may necessitate a progressive update through several intermediary stages. But fear not, we’ve got you covered every step of the way, ensuring a seamless transition that doesn’t leave any of your valuable data or customizations behind.
PHP upgrades are not to be overlooked. Security is paramount in the digital economy, and an up-to-date PHP framework is your CRM’s shield against vulnerabilities. Our conversations often pivot to the significance of PHP updates because your environment’s health depends on it.
Extensions, third-party apps – you name it – could need a specific PHP version to function correctly. Boru has come to the rescue on numerous occasions, granting peace of mind by updating our clients’ PHP environments. Preferably, we handle the environment setup from scratch, making subsequent PHP updates more seamless. Yet, for environments we inherit, we dedicate time to assess and provide accurate estimates for the PHP updates needed.
It gives me immense pride to share that the latest Vtiger 7.5 is masterfully compatible with recent PHP versions, including PHP 8. Once we hoist your Vtiger build to version 7.5, subsequent PHP harmonization is a breeze. And let’s not forget the performance uplift – newer PHP versions can turbocharge your site, giving you and your users a snappier experience.
When the time comes to elevate your Vtiger version, disruption is the last thing we want. Thus, we employ a dry run strategy, simulating the upgrade on a clone of your Vtiger CRM. This allows us to iron out any kinks before touching the live environment.
We meticulously plan a production cutoff time, a brief interlude where system users hold off on any updates. Once we’ve polished the upgrade through our dry run, we apply it in earnest to the live system. Post-upgrade, we invite all users to return and enjoy a system that’s been enhanced without a hitch – no data loss, no interruptions, just business as usual, but with an edge.
In closing, I’d like to reiterate the dual importance of Vtiger and PHP upgrades. With Boru, rest assured you’re in the hands of experts who not only understand the technical intricacies but also prioritize your CRM’s health and your business continuity. Upgrading Vtiger CRM and PHP environment isn’t just maintenance; it’s a strategic move towards a more robust and efficient CRM ecosystem.
For an upgrade path as smooth as your business operations should be, let’s have a chat about bringing your Vtiger CRM up to speed. Reach out to us at Boru – where CRM enhancements are done with utmost precision and care.

]]>I’ve had the pleasure of exploring Boru’s mobile app, a tool ingeniously designed to bridge the gap between mobility and customer relationship management (CRM). Here’s where personal experience counts: picture yourself managing services or jobs, each meticulously assigned and tracked through the Vtiger CRM platform, directly from your smartphone. The beauty of it lies in the accessibility and individualization—each user receives tailor-made job schedules, ensuring a smooth workflow right from the palm of their hand.
On the vivid dashboard of our mobile app, users can receive notifications for new job offerings. Functions are right at their fingertips—accept or reject jobs with a simple tap, manage active assignments, and effortlessly update job specifics like service details or site photographs. And what’s particularly striking is how seamlessly these images are integrated from the user’s device all the way through to the Vtiger CRM, visible to managers for real-time oversight.
As a user myself, I’ve appreciated the calendar views. Being able to discern daily, weekly, and monthly job schedules not only enhances productivity but also allows for an organized review of completed tasks. Boru understands the idiosyncrasies of individual workflows, and so our Vtiger open source mobile app is built to be flexible, adapting to the specific requirements and preferences of the users.
My exploration led to yet another delightful feature: the ease of connecting with contacts associated with each job. Contact details, including phone numbers and emails, are integrated within the job section, facilitating instant communication. Even more, navigation to job sites is simplified with a single click directing to the user’s preferred map provider—now that’s convenience redefined!
Anthony Zuluaga, speaking at a recent session, eloquently captured the app’s essence, highlighting the plethora of functionalities beyond the regular offerings. He articulated potential customizations, from time-tracking solutions—limiting clock-ins to specified locations—to editing capabilities for photos taken during service, directly through the Vtiger open source mobile app.
Our Vtiger mobile app embraces flexibility, allowing me to envision various scenarios where it could be molded to meet specific client demands, whether it be for construction site management, sales strategies, or post-service follow-ups. Boru’s commitment shines through our capability to customize the app’s functionality to suit different industries’ requests.
And let us not forget the importance of accessible knowledge; Boru’s app even incorporates learning tools like tutorial videos. Imagine field workers improving their know-how with instructional content as they navigate through job tasks, ensuring adherence to safety protocols and operational excellence.
In conclusion, my personal journey through Boru’s Vtiger open source mobile app reaffirms our dedication to advancing CRM system sophistication.

]]>Imagine this: key information from related records all displayed on a single screen. That’s what these HUDs are all about. I’ve seen the transformation firsthand in several clients’ setups. It’s not just about displaying relevant data—it’s how it is displayed. With Vtiger’s custom displays, we tailor the CRM to show precisely what our users need, providing a summary view of the most important fields defined by the users themselves.
The practicality of custom displays in Vtiger became eminent when we developed one for an opportunity record linked to related policies and leads. On the main screen, users can view the opportunity’s key fields as Vtiger ordinarily allows, but that’s just the start.
To the left, we have the lead widget, a specialized section showcasing the lead’s key fields—essential information presented elegantly and editably without stirring from the opportunity record.
And what about policies? With policies often closely tied to multiple opportunities, we introduced a right-side widget that not only displays the policy’s key details but also brings in a list view for instances when multiple policies are associated with a single opportunity. The widget, by design, shows the most recent policy, maintaining relevance and timeliness.
The integration of these custom displays within the Vtiger CRM interface serves a singular, transformative purpose: centralization. We’re minimizing navigation and maximizing efficiency by presenting lead, policy, and opportunity records in one cohesive interface. This streamlined view accelerates referencing and editing related records remarkably. Imagine updating an applicant’s date of birth across related modules without jumping in and out of different screens—that’s efficiency at its finest.
But customization doesn’t end with what’s already there. With Vtiger custom displays, flexibility is key. Users can decide which fields are displayed in these widgets. Adding a new key field to a policy? It will automatically update in the HUD. This level of personalization means the system grows and adapts with your needs, not the other way around.
In my experience, other integrated widgets, such as comments and document widgets, further fuel productivity by centralizing communication and document management directly within the opportunity record. Dragging and dropping documents into the record? It’s as simple as it sounds.
In summation, custom HUDs in Vtiger are more than just a neat presentation of information. They are a deeply considered and meticulously developed solution to facilitate a seamless and efficient work process. By centralizing information across modules and offering an editable, flexible, and user-controlled interface, these HUDs have proven indispensable.
At Boru, we understand the importance of efficiency and customization in CRM systems, and as a testament to this philosophy, we have successfully implemented HUDs that not only satisfy but also anticipate our client’s needs. Such innovation is not just a part of what we do—it IS what we do. Our commitment to crafting a CRM system that delivers both in performance and user satisfaction remains unwavering. To experience the transformative power of Vtiger custom displays, forged to perfection by the hands of Boru’s astute professionals, is to step into a world where CRM efficiency and accuracy are not just desired—they’re expected, achieved, and surpassed.

]]>The post Mastering Vtiger Duplicate Module Customization with Boru appeared first on Boru Inc..
]]>Let’s start with the basics. The Vtiger duplicate module features provide a foundational layer of protection. These standard functionalities include the straightforward list view merging, allowing you to select up to three records for merging into a single entity. It’s an efficient way to manually curate your database, albeit with a limitation—it only handles up to three records at once.
Detecting these duplicates is also a breeze with Vtiger’s native tools. By navigating to the ‘Find Duplicates’ option under any list view, the system helps you identify redundant records based on selected criteria. Once identified, merging or deleting these duplicates is just a few clicks away.
Vtiger doesn’t just stop at manual tools; it offers automated duplicate checking that guards against redundant records at the point of entry. Found within the ‘Customize’ menu of any module, this feature permits the selection of up to three unique fields to check for duplicates. It’s a safeguard that ensures duplicates are caught during record creation, syncing with external applications, and other data entry points.
Albeit robust, out-of-the-box solutions might not cater every nuanced need your business has. This is where Boru’s expertise comes into the picture. We recognize that some clients may have complex workflows or require a more sophisticated approach to duplicate detection than Vtiger’s standard offerings provide.
Our customization process begins with a thorough understanding of your business needs. For those who require more than the standard three fields for duplicate checks, we tailor a solution that fits like a glove. Perhaps you need conditional duplicate checks that react differently based on the status of a quote, or maybe your import processes require special attention.
Imagine you need to extend the Vtiger duplicate module beyond three fields, or you want it to kick in only under specific circumstances—such as when a quote reaches a certain stage. These are scenarios where Boru’s customization shines. We create intricate, conditional duplicate checks, ensuring that Vtiger works for you, not the other way around.
At Boru, our passion for CRM perfection is reflected in every custom module we develop, every line of code we write, and every solution we provide. We’ve harnessed the power of Vtiger and expanded it with our proprietary creation wizards, blending our clients’ distinct requirements with Vtiger’s potential to deliver unparalleled efficiency.
Vtiger’s capabilities are extensive, but sometimes you need that extra layer of customization to make your CRM work flawlessly for your unique situation. Whether it’s merging records or implementing an intricate duplicate check system, we’re here to craft the Vtiger experience that you deserve.
If the topic of diligent duplicate handling in Vtiger resonates with you, don’t hesitate to explore our existing resources, or better yet, reach out directly. Our team at Boru is eager to discuss how we can develop personalized solutions to streamline your CRM processes and rid your system of duplicates once and for all.
At Boru, we commit ourselves to enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of your Vtiger CRM system. With customization at the heart of what we do, we ensure that your CRM isn’t just a tool, but a trusted ally in your daily operations. Let’s connect and transform your Vtiger experience together.

]]>Our focus at Boru has always been to ensure our clients’ Vtiger systems are not merely functional but thriving. Upgrades can be daunting, but we’ve honed the process to a fine art, whether it’s leaping from version 5 to 6, navigating the intricacies of version 7, or stepping into the expansive realm of Vtiger 8. Our specialty lies in delivering a production CRM finely tuned to the latest Vtiger capabilities.
The upgrade path we undertake varies depending on the client’s starting version. We meticulously plan each step: from 7.1 to 7.2, then onto 7.3, 7.4, and finally 7.5, before making the exciting jump to version 8. With each incremental upgrade, we ensure a smooth transition, leaving no stone unturned in our quest for CRM excellence.
A successful Vtiger upgrade begins with caution and preparedness. We start by backing up the current Vtiger build, ensuring data integrity throughout the process. After the upgrade, we deploy our ‘Boru Vtiger Standard Test’—a rigorous checklist to verify everything is functioning as expected. Our approach is all about minimizing client disruption. We perform a dry upgrade first, confirming everything is impeccable, then proceed with the live upgrade during off-peak hours to ready the system for the client’s next business day.
Exploring the evolution of Vtiger, each version represents a quantum leap in functionality and user experience. Vtiger 6 introduced us to modern UI enhancements, module-level dashboards, and Google contacts/calendar integration—a robust foundation for future developments.
Vtiger 7, on the other hand, was a game-changer with its smooth new interface layout, customizable tags for data organization, and comprehensive variable taxes and charges functionalities. Notable too were the introduction of roll-up comments for a consolidated record view, and the ability to control user actions with split edit permissions in roles and profiles—each feature meticulously engineered to streamline CRM operations.
As we approached Vtiger 7.5, a critical update emerged: PHP 8 support, vital for maintaining a secure and cutting-edge server environment. While many bug fixes and minor improvements are made along the way, it’s these major milestones that significantly bolster the CRM’s prowess.
In closing, as a seasoned professional at Boru, I can attest to the importance of keeping your Vtiger CRM on the bleeding edge. Our experience is your assurance that, with each upgrade, you not only adopt the latest features and fixes but also enhance your CRM’s security and reliability. We are committed to providing efficiency and precision in your CRM system, ensuring you have the support needed to focus on what matters most: your customers.

]]>Imagine a CRM filter that adapts to who is logged in—where each user is greeted with a list view meticulously curated to their assignments. That’s precisely what we’ve achieved with our first client, who needed a filter across all list views that responded dynamically to the logged-in user. This meant creating one universal filter titled “My List,” which magically displays the records assigned to the specific user who’s logged in. This not only simplifies the interface but also ensures that every team member can jump straight into their own tasks without any additional clicks or confusion.
Boru didn’t stop at list view filters. We extended this personalized touch to Vtiger Reports. By integrating the logged-in user variable, we empowered admin users to craft reports that adapt to the viewer. Whether it’s a report for an individual team or shared across multiple roles, the content changes to show only the records relevant to the logged-in user. This bespoke approach not only declutters the workspace but also enables a laser-focused workflow for each team member.
The introduction of the logged-in user variable into workflows has been a symphony of efficiency. Let’s say user A triggers a workflow on record A, leading to the creation of record B. Because of our customization, record B is automatically assigned to user A. It’s this kind of thoughtful automation that removes the manual assignment burden and ensures a seamless and error-free process.
But why stop there? We took this variable a step further by making it accessible through email templates. Now, even when a user is handling a record not assigned to them, they can communicate with contacts while their own personal signature or name is seamlessly integrated into the email. This thoughtful addition ensures that communication retains a personal touch, regardless of record ownership.
Initially, this bespoke logged-in user variable was developed with a narrow scope in mind. However, through collaborative discussions with the client, we’ve expanded its utility across various facets of Vtiger. Such flexibility and willingness to adapt have not only simplified our client’s workflow but have also significantly enhanced how they leverage Vtiger to manage access and efficiency.
Embracing personalization in the CRM realm is what sets a business apart in today’s market. At Boru, we are proud of how we’ve advanced the Vtiger platform, elevating the end-user experience and streamlining workflows. As a reflection of our dedication, we ensure that every innovation we introduce, like the logged-in user variable customization, is designed to add real, tangible value to your business operations. Let Boru tailor your Vtiger CRM to your unique needs, and watch as the barriers to productivity crumble, leaving behind a landscape of unparalleled efficiency and personalized user experience. Thank you for joining me on this journey where customization meets excellence.

]]>The post Revolutionize Your Vtiger Experience with Boru Control Layout Fields appeared first on Boru Inc..
]]>Boru Control Layout Fields is an innovative extension available for purchase, designed to empower Vtiger users much like myself. With it, I can dictate the visibility of fields and mandate them when needed. Our development team worked tirelessly to ensure compatibility with various Vtiger versions, including 5.x, 6.x, as well as the newer 7.x and 8.x.
Upon installation of this extension, a new page named Boru Control Layout Fields emerges within the settings for admin users. This page is a neatly organized list view of all rules you’ve established – It’s truly a testament to clear and concise management.
Creating a conditional layout is a breeze. First, I select a target module and assign a rule name for easy identification later on. Once set, the entire settings panel unfolds before me. In the first section, I input conditions similar to workflows, with conditions sets that require all or any to be met.
Below the conditions area, the field modifications segment is where the true magic happens. Here, I can tailor the fields to adapt dynamically – such as hiding or making a field mandatory based on certain triggers. Let me give you a practical example emphasizing how this functionality improves efficiency.
One of our clients leverages the Boru Control Layout Fields to streamline their ticketing process. If a ticket is categorized under a product with a serial number, the serial number field becomes mandatory, ensuring no detail is missed. It’s simple: the category dictates the necessity of the serial number, ensuring accurate and complete records.
This revolutionary extension also allows for optimization of data input, enabling me to hide unrelated fields and focus user attention where it’s most needed. Conversely, it can protect vital fields by setting related ones to read-only when necessary.
What excites me is how effortlessly fields can adapt to the data input. For example, if a status field is set to ‘In Progress,’ the ‘Expected Shipment Date’ can be fixed as read-only, while ‘Actual Shipment Date’ is hidden. Once the status updates to ‘Shipped,’ these fields dynamically update to reflect the new status – it’s that flexible.
These examples are just a taste of what the Boru Control Layout Fields can achieve within Vtiger. It’s a solution that we at Boru take pride in, as it not only simplifies data management but also ensures our client workflows are as seamless as possible.
In conclusion, the Boru Control Layout Fields extension is not just an add-on, it’s an essential element that amplifies the capabilities of Vtiger CRM. For anyone eager to optimize their CRM experience, enhance data accuracy, and ensure process efficiency, this tool is a must-have. It’s a testament to our commitment to not only meet your CRM needs but to exceed them by providing innovative, customizable solutions.

]]>The post Navigating Vtiger with Google Maps: Seamless Scheduling for a World on the Move appeared first on Boru Inc..
]]>At Boru, we’re always looking for ways to leverage technology to improve our CRM platform and boost efficiency. This time, the spotlight is on a Vtiger CRM integration that will transform the way you think about scheduling—by bringing the power of Google Maps right into the heart of your CRM system.
Our latest endeavour enhances Vtiger’s scheduling capabilities with an intuitive Google Maps extension. Yes, I’ve touched on this subject in past explorations, yet today, I want to unravel an additional layer that will not only facilitate appointment setting but also display these events vividly on Google Maps.
Let’s imagine you are using the quotes module in Vtiger. With our customization, appointment setting will become as straightforward as clicking a button, literally. I’ll walk you through how a simple ‘Appointment Map’ button on your quote screen can take you to a world of seamless scheduling.
Upon clicking the ‘Appointment Map’ button, your screen will blossom into a radius map peppered with event markers. This isn’t just a static display; it’s a fully interactive map that answers the pressing questions of who, what, and when by simply hovering over the pins. And it doesn’t stop there. You can immediately set an appointment from the pop-up or from a dedicated button at the top right corner.
Now, let’s delve into the details of setting up an appointment directly from the map view. When you click to set an appointment, a pop-up will escort you through the process, with most of the information pre-populated from the related quote. You’ll see the contact, the relevant address (billing or shipping), and then you can specify the date, time, and assignee. Just like that, an event is born—linked to all the necessary records with the location details plucked right from the quote itself.
Our Google Maps extension comes equipped with an additional facet where all current events within the map’s radius are listed. You’ll find details like date, time, and address here without needing to scan the map. But for fans of the interactive experience, hovering over each pin remains an option.
Sometimes, a cluttered map can overwhelm more than it helps. That’s why we’re introducing filters; assigned-to and date range. Whether you want to view a single user’s appointments or browse through a month’s worth of events, these filters put you in the driver’s seat.
Although we’re stemming from the quotes module, the beauty of this setup is that it’s about event scheduling—appointments that enable actions at specific addresses, like coordinating deliveries in real-time.
If this sneak peek into our Vtiger Google Maps scheduling customization has piqued your interest, I encourage you to delve into a more compartmentalized breakdown in my previous blog post. There, you’ll see the concept dissected further with a detailed estimate to boot.
In a world where efficiency and accuracy are paramount, Boru’s commitment to innovation within the CRM domain remains unwavering. Stay tuned for more updates and insights as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
And that, my friends, is a glimpse of the future Boru envisions—one where scheduling and geolocation merge seamlessly within your CRM platform. Thanks for joining me on this journey into smarter, map-integrated scheduling!
