Zoho Providers

Zoho offers multiple services, each with its own API. In Nango, these are represented as separate providers:

While each Zoho service has its own specific API endpoints and scopes, the OAuth setup process is similar across all Zoho services. This guide covers the general setup process for Zoho OAuth applications.

​
Setup guide

1

Create a Zoho account

  1. If you don’t already have a Zoho account, go to Zoho’s signup page and create one.
  2. Sign in to your Zoho account.
2

Access the Zoho API Console

  1. Go to the Zoho API Console.
  2. Sign in with your Zoho account if prompted.
3

Create a new client

  1. In the API Console, click on the Server-based Applications card.
  2. Click the Create button to create a new client.
  3. Fill in the required information:
    • Client Name: Enter a name for your application.
    • Client Domain: Enter the domain name of your application (e.g., example.com).
    • Authorized Redirect URIs: Enter https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback
    • Description: Provide a brief description of your application.
  4. Click Create to register your client.
4

Select the appropriate scopes

  1. After creating your client, you’ll need to add the appropriate scopes based on which Zoho service(s) you want to access.
  2. Click on the Add Scope button.
  3. Select the Zoho service you want to access (e.g., CRM, Books, Desk, etc.).
  4. Choose the specific scopes you need for that service.
  5. Click Save to add the selected scopes.

Note: Each Zoho service has its own set of scopes. Refer to the specific service documentation for details on available scopes.

5

Obtain your OAuth credentials

After creating your client, you’ll receive:

  • Client ID: A unique identifier for your application
  • Client Secret: A secret key for your application

Make sure to store these securely, especially the Client Secret, as you’ll need them when configuring your integration in Nango.

6

Configure your integration in Nango

When setting up your Zoho integration in Nango:

  • Use your Client ID and Client Secret from the previous step

API gotchas

  • Zoho uses datacenter-specific URLs for authentication. Make sure to use the correct datacenter domain extension (com, eu, in, com.cn, com.au) based on where your user’s account is registered.

  • Zoho has rate limits that vary by service. Check the specific service documentation for details.

  • If your application needs to access multiple Zoho services, you need to request scopes for each service during the authorization process.

  • For production applications, consider implementing multi-datacenter support to handle users from different regions.
