Lists are used in Zoho CRM Custom Functions to handle multiple records returned from API calls, build collections of values, and iterate through data using loops.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Using Lists in Zoho CRM<\/h2>\n<p>Lists are created with <code>[]<\/code> syntax: <code>stageList = [\"Qualification\", \"Proposal Sent\", \"Negotiation\"];<\/code>. When you call <code>zoho.crm.getRecords(\"Deals\")<\/code>, the result is returned as a List of Maps, where each Map represents one Deal record. You then loop through the List using a <code>for each<\/code> loop to process each record individually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Common List Operations<\/h2>\n<p>Deluge lists support <code>.add()<\/code> to append items, <code>.get(index)<\/code> to retrieve by position, <code>.size()<\/code> to count items, and <code>.contains()<\/code> to check membership. These operations are used constantly when processing collections of CRM records in automation scripts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Industry Example<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Education:<\/strong> A Deluge function fetches all Contacts linked to an Account (returned as a List of Maps). It loops through the List, checks each Contact&#8217;s &#8220;Subscription Status&#8221; field, and adds those with &#8220;Active&#8221; status to a separate List. That filtered List is then used to construct a batch update payload, changing the renewal date on all active subscribers in one API call.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Related Terms<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/deluge-scripting\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Deluge Scripting<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/deluge-function\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Deluge Function<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/deluge-map-object\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Deluge Map Object<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/custom-function-workflow-action\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Custom Function (Workflow Action)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/coql\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">COQL<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\">\n<h3>What is a Deluge List Object in Zoho CRM?<\/h3>\n<p>A Deluge List is an ordered collection data structure used in Zoho CRM Custom Functions.
