For Zoho Services only:


I'm actually part of something bigger at Ascent Business Solutions recognized as the top Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions offer support for smaller technical fixes and projects for larger developments, such as migrating to a ZohoCRM.  A team rather than a one-man-band is always available to ensure seamless progress and address any concerns. You'll find our competitive support rates with flexible, no-expiration bundles at https://ascentbusiness.co.uk/zoho-services/uk-zoho-support.  For larger projects, talk to our experts and receive dedicated support from our hands-on project consultants at https://ascentbusiness.co.uk/zoho-services/zoho-crm-implementation.

The team I manage specializes in coding API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance/commerce suites such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay; to name but a few.  Our passion lies in creating innovative solutions where others have fallen short as well as working with new businesses, new sectors, and new ideas.  Our success is measured by the growth and ROI we deliver for clients, such as transforming a garden shed hobby into a 250k monthly turnover operation or generating a +60% return in just three days after launch through online payments and a streamlined e-commerce solution, replacing a paper-based system.

If you're looking for a partner who can help you drive growth and success, we'd love to work with you.  You can reach out to us on 0121 392 8140 (UK) or info@ascentbusiness.co.uk.  You can also visit our website at https://ascentbusiness.co.uk.
Zoho Projects: Deluge to Submit Custom Fields

Zoho Projects: Deluge to Submit Custom Fields

Category: Zoho
Hits: 6703
What?
A super quick article to demonstrate an example where we create a project with custom fields.

Why?
At time of print, the documentation on the Projects API would only show responses rather than requests. Sure it lists fields that are required in the request but not a sample request packaged to be sent.

How?
Let's assume that my custom fields have as identifiers UDF_CHAR8 (which is a Zoho ID) and UDF_CHAR7 (which is a text/string name field). Note that in the below snippet, I've put m_Params into separate lines for display purposes but actually it should be all on one line:
copyraw 
m_Custom = {"UDF_CHAR8":12345678901234567,"UDF_CHAR7":"Joel Lipman"};
m_Params = {
  "name": "My Happy Project",
  "flag": "internal",
  "milestone_id": 98765432109876540,
  "tasklist_id": 78901234567890130,
  "person_responsible": "20211234567",
  "duration": "1",
  "duration_type": "hrs",
  "start_date": "11-12-2021",
  "end_date": "12-12-2021",
  "percent_complete": "0",
  "order_sequence": "4",
  "priority": "None",
  "custom_fields": m_Custom.toString()
};
r_CreateResponse = zoho.projects.create("joelsprojects",45678901234567890,"tasks",m_Params );
  1.  m_Custom = {"UDF_CHAR8":12345678901234567,"UDF_CHAR7":"Joel Lipman"}; 
  2.  m_Params = { 
  3.    "name": "My Happy Project", 
  4.    "flag": "internal", 
  5.    "milestone_id": 98765432109876540, 
  6.    "tasklist_id": 78901234567890130, 
  7.    "person_responsible": "20211234567", 
  8.    "duration": "1", 
  9.    "duration_type": "hrs", 
  10.    "start_date": "11-12-2021", 
  11.    "end_date": "12-12-2021", 
  12.    "percent_complete": "0", 
  13.    "order_sequence": "4", 
  14.    "priority": "None", 
  15.    "custom_fields": m_Custom.toString() 
  16.  }; 
  17.  r_CreateResponse = zoho.projects.create("joelsprojects",45678901234567890,"tasks",m_Params );
