@effco/zoho-crm

Another WORK IN PROGESS tool from us!

v0.2 works with V2 of Zoho API, for V1 use v0.1 of the library

Wrapper around Zoho CRM API. Built with the intention of abstracting the limitations of Zoho API in Node environment. Should work with any module although targeted and tested for 'deals'.

It takes and returns plain standard JSON objects, retrieves more than 200 results by iterating through the module data and is promise based so async/await ready.

Install

yarn add @effco/zoho-crm

or

npm i -S @effco/zoho-crm

Usage

Environmental variables

In order to satisfy OAuth2 requirements of Zoho API few values are required to be provided via env. Available from accounts.zoho.com/developerconsole

• ZOHO_CLIENT_ID
• ZOHO_CLIENT_SECRET
• ZOHO_GRANT_TOKEN - only needed once, to generate access & refresh token. Generated in the Self Client menu (click the ... button to the right once application is created). Enter 'aaaserver.profile.READ,ZohoCRM.users.all,ZohoCRM.settings.all,ZohoCRM.modules.all' as scope
• API_URL - only needed once, to generate access & refresh token. In developer console enter API_URL/oauth/zoho, here just API_URL
• ZOHO_LOCATION - Zoho instance, default is 'com' - other options currently are: 'eu', 'com.cn'
