Integrating Catalyst with other Zoho Services

Integrating Catalyst with other Zoho Services

Hello Catalyst Community!

 

I'm here to share some interesting ways you can use Catalyst to integrate with other Zoho services to fulfil a variety of requirements that you might have.

 

Catalyst enables you to establish in-depth integrations with external services and enhance the functionalities of your solutions. You can leverage the best of Zoho's extensive infrastructure, and seamlessly blend them with Catalyst's own development environment to create innovative services tailored to your needs.

 

Here are some examples of integrations with Zoho CRM, Zoho Cliq, and Zoho WorkDrive that we have covered in our Tutorials resources:

 

Zoho WorkDrive

 

WorkDrive is a cloud-based file management tool that enables you to create a shared space to store, organize, and manage files with your organization. The WorkDrive Sync App tutorial helps you build a web client that can synchronize actions between two folders in the Catalyst File Store and in WorkDrive respectively.

 

You can upload files through this web app, or delete them directly. The files will first be uploaded in the File Store folder, and will then be synchronized with the WorkDrive folder. The delete action will also be reflected in both folders.

Zoho Cliq

 

Integration functions provide you the ability to code and use a Catalyst function as the backend of other Zoho services, and maintain the business logic of that service in Catalyst. Catalyst currently supports integration with Zoho Cliq through Integration functions.

 

The Cliq-GitHub Bot tutorial helps you with building an extension on Cliq that can fetch the details of your GitHub repositories through a Cliq chat bot. The Cliq extension is associated with a Catalyst Integration function that contains the logic of the extension. This setup uses a few Catalyst Cliq handlers to define the various actions of the bot.

Zoho CRM

 

You can use Catalyst to manage and automate a variety of tasks in every stage of lead management and handling customer relationships in Zoho CRM. Access the CRM Connector Application tutorial to learn about building a web client application that enables you to add, edit, or delete leads directly from the Leads module in your CRM account. This setup implements a Catalyst connector to authorize and maintain the access to CRM using OAuth authentication.

Catalyst provides a wide range of possibilities in incorporating its backend features with other services, and designing custom solutions for your business logic and workflow. You can try these tutorials out to get an idea on the multiple ways you can build external integrations in Catalyst.

 

Please do try these tutorials out, and reach out to us if you have any questions or require any assistance.  

 

 

Until next time. Cheers!
