Zoho Creator

The Zoho Creator modules enable you to monitor and list applications or records in your Zoho Creator account.

Getting Started with Zoho Creator

Prerequisites

  • A Zoho Creator account

In order to use Zoho Creator with Integromat, it is necessary to have a Zoho Creator account. If you do not have one, you can create a Zoho Creator account at www.zoho.com/creator/.

The module dialog fields that are displayed in bold (in the Integromat scenario, not in this documentation article) are mandatory!

1. Go to Integromat, and open the Zoho Creator module's Create a connection dialog.

2. Select the region of the Zoho domain you are using for your Zoho Creator account. 

3. Enter the Owner Name. You can obtain the Owner Name from the URL: <https://creatorapp.zoho.eu/<ownername>/<applicationname>/...>

Click the Continue button to establish the connection.
