Zoho Creator Overview#

Zoho Creator is a low-code platform that enables the building of custom applications tailored to business needs without extensive coding knowledge. Via its API, you can automate processes, manage data, and integrate with other services. Pipedream amplifies this capability by offering a serverless platform where events from various apps trigger workflows. You can use Zoho Creator’s API on Pipedream to create, read, update, and delete records, automate data flows, and link your custom apps with a myriad of other services for efficient, automated workflows.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Zoho Creator	`zohoCreator`	`app`	This component uses the Zoho Creator app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the Zoho Creator API for resources
Application	`appLinkName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Report	`reportLinkName`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Zoho Creator uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Zoho Creator account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Zoho Creator and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Zoho Creator API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

ZohoCreator.form.CREATEZohoCreator.report.CREATEZohoCreator.report.READZohoCreator.report.UPDATEZohoCreator.report.DELETEZohoCreator.meta.form.READZohoCreator.meta.application.READZohoCreator.dashboard.READZohoCreator.bulk.CREATEZohoCreator.bulk.READ

GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.
