Estimated reading: 4 minutes 301 views

Zoho Project Integrations: Zoho Projects is a cloud-based project management platform designed to help teams plan, track, and collaborate on projects efficiently. It includes tools for task management, time tracking, Gantt charts, document sharing, and reporting, making it ideal for businesses of all sizes to streamline workflows and keep projects on schedule.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the Zoho Project integrations using Bit Flows. While we’ll use Bit Form as the trigger in this example, you can choose any trigger that suits your needs. Once the setup is complete, data from each form submission will be automatically sent to Zoho Project for processing or generating a response.

This beginner-friendly tutorial takes you through each step, making it simple to build your first AI-powered automation using Bit Flows and Zoho Project.

Authorization of Zoho Project Integrations

To set Zoho Project as an action in Bit Flows, first open your Bit Flows Dashboard, then either create a new flow or open an existing one. In the Flow Builder, click the plus (+) icon to add an action. From the list of available apps, search for and select Zoho Project

After selecting your preferred action, the next step is to choose an event. For example, in this case, we’ve selected the “Create Task” event.

  • Create Project
  • Update Project
  • Delete Project
  • List Projects
  • Create Milestone
  • Create Tasklist
  • Create Task

After selecting the action event, a new popup will appear. Here, you need to connect your Zoho Project account. If you’ve already connected Zoho Project before and want to use the same account, simply select it from the “Select Connection” dropdown. If not, click on “Add Connection” to create a new one.

If you’ve already created a connection earlier and want to use it with the same account, simply select it from the “Select Connection” dropdown. This saves time and avoids creating duplicate connections.

When you click the Add Connection button, you’ll be asked to enter a name for your connection, domain (Data Centre) and provide your Client ID plush Client Secret.

To get your Zoho Client ID and Client Secret, follow these steps:

  • Go to Zoho API Console
  • Click on “Add Client ” in the top-right corner
  • Click “Server-based Applications”
  • Choose your Client Name
  • Put your WordPress “Homepage URL”
  • Put your Callback URL to the Authorized Redirect URIs Field and click on create.
  • Once the key is generated, copy it
  • Paste the copied key into the Client ID and Client Secret field in Bit Flows.

After entering your token, click on Connect. Once connected successfully, a popup will appear where you can configure the integration settings and map the fields.

Select your Portal ID and Project ID from the dropdown menu.

Select your Tasklist ID, Person Responsible (Owner ID), Priority from the dropdown menu

Once you’ve finished these settings, you can either click the “Test Run” button to check if the integration is working correctly or simply close the popup to complete the setup.

When you click the Test Run button, the output will be displayed just above it. However, please note that Test Run results are not recorded in the logs.

You also have the option to test the full flow. You can either click “Listen Response” and then run the trigger event (e.g., submit the form), or use existing data to test the integration and make sure everything works correctly.

After completing all the steps, click the “Logs” icon at the top-right corner of the Flow Builder to view your integration logs. Logs help you verify if the trigger and action worked correctly and make it easier to spot and fix any issues.

That’s it! You’ve successfully set up an automation in Bit Flows to connect your trigger with Zoho Project. Now, whenever the trigger event occurs, a task will be create in Zoho Project, and you’ll receive a information response based on your configuration. This completes your Zoho Project integrations with Bit Flows, ..
