Custom Function Run Time in Zoho Flow
April 1, 2026
Zoho Flow will cap the custom function run time at 30 seconds effective 15th of October 2024.
Zoho Flow is Zoho’s primary integration application, a direct (and better) replacement for Zapier. You probably heard the catchphrase “You don’t need to be a developer to integrate your software.” Well, it depends on what you call “a developer.” Using Zoho Flow for the light cases doesn’t require you to write the code. However, to use it to its full potential, you have to understand the platform architecture better than the average user and, ideally, know Deluge. Does it qualify as a “developer?”
This hub covers Zoho Flow’s news, updates, and our case studies where it was used (almost everywhere).

No. Zoho MCP, Zoho Flow, and Deluge serve different purposes. Zoho Flow is a trigger-based automation platform with predefined, rule-based workflows between apps. Deluge is Zoho’s scripting language for custom business logic inside Zoho apps. Zoho MCP server is the execution layer that lets AI agents dynamically interact with your apps using natural language — no predefined rules required. In fact, Zoho MCP leverages Zoho Flow to connect with third-party applications, making them complementary tools. You’ll likely use all three in a mature Zoho AI implementation.
Yes. Through Zoho Flow integration, Zoho MCP can extend agent actions to over 500 third-party applications including Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, Asana, Twilio, Notion, OneDrive, and many more. This makes Zoho MCP a hub for truly cross-platform, AI-driven workflows — not just a Zoho-only tool. For any unsupported apps, you can request additions directly from Zoho or work with a Zoho Partner to build a custom integration.
