Where can I find a Deluge expert to fix or write custom functions?
You can find Deluge developers through Zoho's partner directory, the Zoho community forum, freelance marketplaces and Zoho-focused consulting firms. Look for someone who has written functions in the specific app you use, such as CRM, Books or Creator, can explain error handling and API limits, and will hand over documented, readable code. Ask for a small paid test task before a larger job.

Deluge is Zoho's own scripting language, so the pool of experts is smaller than for common languages. Zoho's partner directory lists certified partners by country and product. The Zoho community forum has active developers who answer questions and sometimes take work. Freelance platforms have many Zoho developers, though quality varies a lot.
Skill in one app does not always carry to another. CRM functions deal with modules, Blueprints and the CRM API. Books functions deal with transactions and accounting rules. Creator scripts deal with forms, reports and record limits. Ask candidates to show work in the app you use, and to explain how they handle failed API calls, connections and execution limits.
Protect yourself. Give access through a separate user with only the permissions needed, keep a copy of every function before changes, and ask for comments in the code and a short note on what each function does. A good developer will test in a sandbox or on sample records before touching live data.
If you would rather work with a team that does this daily, Flowpeak Consulting writes and fixes Deluge functions across CRM, Books, Creator and Flow, with documentation and 30 days of free fixes after delivery. We work remotely and can usually start with a small fix to show how we work.

Common questions

The basics are approachable, but using APIs, connections and limits well takes practice.
Should a freelancer or a partner write my functions?
A freelancer can suit a one-off fix. A partner suits ongoing work where continuity and documentation matter.
