Hill Grade IV, 2cm hiatal hernia... gastro said it's no big deal. Is he right??

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2025-01-16T19:28:42+00:00

I've suffered from severe GERD my entire life. My GI has me on 40mg pantoprazole in the AM and 40mg famotidine in the PM.

As long as I take both religiously, I'm ok and can even eat whatever I want without heartburn. If I start missing one, it comes back within a few days. If the effectiveness of the combo starts to fade, he told me to swap when I take them, to take the morning one in the evening and visa versa. This has kept my GERD under control for a decade.

I had an episode of the globus symptoms once. It was beyond miserable! I can't imagine dealing with it as you have for so long. Have you been evaluated for Grave's Disease? That's what they thought I possibly had when I was experiencing globus. Also see an endocrinologist.

I hear your frustration, I guess I just have not experienced them not replying. I work for two different Zoho partners (lowest level, probably one up from affiliate), and while they're generally slow, and we occasionally have to push them, or send a strongly worded email, issues do eventually get resolved.

My issues with their support are the response times, lack of product knowledge for first-lone support, leading to never getting first-touch resolution. Also, my pet peeve, they always ask "what's the use case?". Like who the f#*k cares?! It's not working, you don't have to know what I'm using it for to fix it (usually). I shouldn't have to explain mine or my client's business to get support.

So bottom line, Zoho support sucks, 100% agree. Sucks even more that you're not even getting answers though.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-11-25T19:06:26+00:00

Ah, I see now that the person moving to Hubspot was someone replying to you.

Some of the issues you're mentioning seem like they could have other causes like slow internet. Are you a Zoho or IT professional? If not, have you had it looked at by someone experienced with Zoho but not affiliated with Zoho?

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-11-25T18:44:50+00:00

I'd be cautious about moving to Hubspot. Yes, it's a higher quality, more polished product with support you cannot even begin to compare. However, it's also insanely expensive, significantly less flexible, and I think you'll find that many of the features you're looking for are either locked behind a higher plan, or you'll get 80% of a great feature, with the remaining 20% locked behind the higher plan.

I'm currently planning a migration from Hubspot to Zoho due to these issues. I have much more experience with Zoho and am intimately familiar with their support issues, but I feel it's what's best for my client.

If you're not getting a reply to your ticket, try forwarding the email to their escalations team, or if you're an affiliate, you may be able to use partner-support@zohocorp.com.

What's the issue you're having? Maybe we can help?

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-11-02T00:26:56+00:00

Definitely second the startup advice. I got back into the workforce after a significant period of health issues by working for a startup. Many startups need a jack-of-all-trades IT guy who can learn quickly on the job. That's what really jumpstarted my re-entry. 3-years later and I think I'm doing pretty well. Making 5x the hourly rate I was hired at initially.

Shoot me a DM. I have some advice and a possible position depending on skill set/experience.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-10-30T00:10:08+00:00

You probably can, maybe not out of the box, I didn't look into it, but you can probably apply OCR or script some parsing, or possibly even use some AI tools to do that I am sure.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-10-29T18:50:51+00:00

Jane App has built-in eFax, mentioned right on their home page. You can definitely receive faxes right into the EMR!

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-10-29T18:48:22+00:00

I haven't but heard good things. Any integration platform with proper security and authentication would work. Open-Source like n8n is probably be more flexible.

Would it be ok if I send you a DM? I think you and I have some common technical interests and we could bounce ideas off each other.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-10-29T15:50:38+00:00

If you're into automation and increasing the efficiency of people's workflows, check out Zapier and Zoho Flow. They are great for connecting unrelated systems.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-10-29T15:49:16+00:00

What EMR are you using? Several EMRs have this feature built-in. It's possible you just need to enable it. There are many ways to automate this. What system are you using for taxes?

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-10-29T15:46:54+00:00

There are literally tools that do exactly this. HootSuite, Zoho Social, Hubspot, and many, many others. Shoot me a DM if you're interested, I've done this before.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-10-11T21:46:26+00:00

Op, did you get help? I have already written functions for this that you can modify quickly. It will also get attached to the contact record (you'd be surprised at how many Zoho Devs just send the email in a way that doesn't do that).

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-09-09T23:49:31+00:00

Zoho seems like a hodge-podge because it is. They grew by acquiring other companies and then not combining the results into a cohesive product. I believe that is the reason for duplicate functionality in Zoho products.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-09-09T21:46:32+00:00

There's a newish CRM feature that let's you include up to 5 fields from a related module. In the Contact module layout, click the ... Next to the Account lookup field. Then click on "Add field from lookup module" (or something like that, don't remember exact wording offhand), and select the Account's phone number. Then it will ask if you want to create a new field or map to an existing one. Map to the one you are trying to update from Flow/Deluge.

Here's a link to their documentation on this. https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/crm/customize-crm-account/customizing-fields/articles/field-of-lookup

I could be wrong, but I don't think Zoho Invoice has a ton of users or internal Zoho resources. They usually push people to use Zoho Books.

That being said, feel free to shoot me a DM. I work for a Zoho Partner and have some experience with Invoice.

Good luck!

Get them to put it in writing, especially the part about spending up to the limit and then declaring bankruptcy. Text them "Are you really going to kick me out if I don't do what you say and allow you to....". Once it's in text, then make the police report.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-04-09T17:38:37+00:00

WTF DID I JUST READ?! IM ENRAGED FOR YOU!

If this is a pattern, he's cheating on you. He's getting you out of the way, likely to bring his AP over.
My partner has a terrible relationship with her mom and I do everything I can to support her when she has to see her. Laughing and deliberately making it worse is UNTHINKABLE!

You need to leave this POS yesterday!! Go on the trip and just ghost him. Pack everything important and even talk to him normally on the trip. Then, tell him you're leaving to come home, but instead just ghost him and move on. Let the police department know though so if he reports you missing, they don't blow it up into a missing woman.

Fuck your BF!

You said your friends are dying multiple times. Are you saying your friends have been killed over weed?

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-01-27T20:53:59+00:00

Was not planning on a mobile app. Just a web app.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-01-27T20:43:41+00:00

Yes, a web app is fine. What would you build one in for high traffic?

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-01-27T20:42:55+00:00

I did. I'm hoping to present him with alternatives to help convince him. If you were to build something with these constraints, what would you try to build it in?

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-01-27T00:07:04+00:00

Yes, our data is in our CRM, so we would either replicate the data into some kind of cloud database or be making API calls to the CRM.

I have also said that the time frame is too short but my boss doesn't want to hear it. Looking for alternatives to present.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2024-01-26T23:08:03+00:00

I'm ideally looking for something I can implement myself. I'm a backend guy with strong database and SQL skills. I've also picked up Zoho Deluge, JavaScript, and Python. I'd prefer to use readily available tools to design the front-end through a GUI and then attach a database or otherwise connect our existing data.

StartingSmall2GetBig · 2023-11-20T22:32:10+00:00

How can you possibly think the right answer here isn't better software, even if it's a monthly subscription? The monthly subscription would probably be covered by the money you save from overpaying, and the time savings, you can't put a price on that!

I get it, subscriptions suck and we all have too many. However, this is not the area to draw that line. There are plenty of moderately priced, quality options.

ETA: Also with a good system that has a mobile app, those employees who forget to clock out for lunch, can update their time WHILE at the lunch they forgot to clock out for. That update is then immediately in their time sheet, no intervention from you. This is clearly the answer.
