For Zoho services only


I'm currently part of a wider delivery team at Ascent Business Solutions, recognised as a leading Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions support organisations with everything from targeted technical fixes through to full Zoho CRM implementations and long-term platform adoption. Working as a team rather than a one-person consultancy allows projects to move forward consistently, with access to the right skills at each stage.

The team I manage specialises in API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance and commerce platforms such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay. Much of our work involves solving integration challenges that fall outside standard documentation, supporting new ideas, new sectors, and evolving business models.

Success is measured through practical outcomes and return on investment, ranging from scaling small operations into high-turnover businesses to delivering rapid gains through online payments, automation, and streamlined digital workflows.

If you are looking for structured Zoho expertise backed by an established consultancy, you can contact Ascent Business Solutions on 0121 392 8140 (UK), email info@ascentbusiness.co.uk, or visit https://www.ascentbusiness.co.uk.

Zoho Deluge - InvokeConnector and useful snippets

What?
So this is an article with some common snippets of code that use the InvokeConnector and do things we can't do in shortcode.

List CRM Users (ActiveUsers)
Note that this is somewhat superseded by: l_Users = zoho.crm.getRecords("users") or r_User = zoho.crm.getRecordById("users", v_UserID) but here's the old way of doing this:
copyraw
l_Users= List();
m_UserType = Map();
m_UserType.put("type","ActiveUsers");
r_Response = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.getusers",m_UserType);
if(!isnull(r_Response.get("status_code")))
{
	if(r_Response.get("status_code")==200)
	{
		l_Users = r_Response.get("response").get("users");
		for each  v_User in l_Users
		{
			info v_User.get("full_name") + " :: " + v_User.get("id");
		}
	}
}
  1.  l_Users= List()
  2.  m_UserType = Map()
  3.  m_UserType.put("type","ActiveUsers")
  4.  r_Response = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.getusers",m_UserType)
  5.  if(!isnull(r_Response.get("status_code"))) 
  6.  { 
  7.      if(r_Response.get("status_code")==200) 
  8.      { 
  9.          l_Users = r_Response.get("response").get("users")
  10.          for each  v_User in l_Users 
  11.          { 
  12.              info v_User.get("full_name") + :: " + v_User.get("id")
  13.          } 
  14.      } 
  15.  } 
Update 2020:
Note this can also be achieved with the following shortcode:
copyraw
l_Users = zoho.crm.getRecords("users");
  1.  l_Users = zoho.crm.getRecords("users")
or a specific user:
copyraw
r_ZohoResponse = zoho.crm.getRecordById("users",r_DealDetails.get("Owner").get("id"));
l_MatchingUsers = ifnull(r_ZohoResponse.get("users"),{});
for each  r_UserDetails in l_MatchingUsers 
{
	info r_UserDetails.get("id");
}
  1.  r_ZohoResponse = zoho.crm.getRecordById("users",r_DealDetails.get("Owner").get("id"))
  2.  l_MatchingUsers = ifnull(r_ZohoResponse.get("users"),{})
  3.  for each  r_UserDetails in l_MatchingUsers 
  4.  { 
  5.      info r_UserDetails.get("id")
  6.  } 

List CRM Users (ActiveUsers) from Creator or other Zoho App
Note the use of .toMap() required for other apps to read this JSON string response:
copyraw
l_Users= List();
m_UserType = Map();
m_UserType.put("type","ActiveUsers");
r_Response = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.getusers",m_UserType);
if(!isnull(r_Response.toMap().get("status_code")))
{
	if(r_Response.toMap().get("status_code")==200)
	{
		l_Users = r_Response.toMap().get("response").toMap().get("users");
		for each v_User in l_Users
		{
			info v_User.get("full_name") + " :: " + v_User.get("email");
		}
	}
}
  1.  l_Users= List()
  2.  m_UserType = Map()
  3.  m_UserType.put("type","ActiveUsers")
  4.  r_Response = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.getusers",m_UserType)
  5.  if(!isnull(r_Response.toMap().get("status_code"))) 
  6.  { 
  7.      if(r_Response.toMap().get("status_code")==200) 
  8.      { 
  9.          l_Users = r_Response.toMap().get("response").toMap().get("users")
  10.          for each v_User in l_Users 
  11.          { 
  12.              info v_User.get("full_name") + :: " + v_User.get("email")
  13.          } 
  14.      } 
  15.  } 

Delete a CRM Record
copyraw
m_Delete = Map();
m_Delete.put("module","Leads");
m_Delete.put("id","0123456789012345678");
r_Delete = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.delete", m_Delete);
info r_Delete;
  1.  m_Delete = Map()
  2.  m_Delete.put("module","Leads")
  3.  m_Delete.put("id","0123456789012345678")
  4.  r_Delete = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.delete", m_Delete)
  5.  info r_Delete; 

Get Organization Details
copyraw
m_OrgDetails = Map();
r_Response = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.getorg", m_OrgDetails);
if(!isnull(r_Response.get("status_code")))
{
	if(r_Response.get("status_code")==200)
	{
		l_OrgDetails = r_Response.get("response").get("org");
		for each r_Org in l_OrgDetails
		{
			info r_Org.get("company_name") + " :: " + r_Org.get("id");
		}
	}
}
  1.  m_OrgDetails = Map()
  2.  r_Response = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.getorg", m_OrgDetails)
  3.  if(!isnull(r_Response.get("status_code"))) 
  4.  { 
  5.      if(r_Response.get("status_code")==200) 
  6.      { 
  7.          l_OrgDetails = r_Response.get("response").get("org")
  8.          for each r_Org in l_OrgDetails 
  9.          { 
  10.              info r_Org.get("company_name") + :: " + r_Org.get("id")
  11.          } 
  12.      } 
  13.  } 

Get Module MetaData
copyraw
m_Module = Map();
m_Module.put("module","Leads"); // omit this line to get metadata for all modules
r_Module = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.modulemetadata", m_Module);
if(!isnull(r_Module.get("status_code")))
{
	if(r_Module.get("status_code")==200)
	{
		l_ModuleMeta = r_Module.get("response").get("modules");
		for each v_ModuleMeta in l_ModuleMeta
		{
			info v_ModuleMeta.get("api_name") + " :: " + v_ModuleMeta.get("id");
		}
	}
}
  1.  m_Module = Map()
  2.  m_Module.put("module","Leads")// omit this line to get metadata for all modules 
  3.  r_Module = zoho.crm.invokeConnector("crm.modulemetadata", m_Module)
  4.  if(!isnull(r_Module.get("status_code"))) 
  5.  { 
  6.      if(r_Module.get("status_code")==200) 
  7.      { 
  8.          l_ModuleMeta = r_Module.get("response").get("modules")
  9.          for each v_ModuleMeta in l_ModuleMeta 
  10.          { 
  11.              info v_ModuleMeta.get("api_name") + :: " + v_ModuleMeta.get("id")
  12.          } 
  13.      } 
  14.  }
