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 Projects: Deluge to Submit Custom Fields

Zoho Projects: Deluge to Submit Custom Fields

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 );
