OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Zoho CRM using the browser. The 本製品 facilitates this in various ways as described below.

Embedded Credentials

Desktop Applications

See 埋め込みクレデンシャル to connect with the 本製品's embedded credentials and skip creating a custom OAuth app.

Headless Machines

See ヘッドレスマシン to skip creating a custom OAuth app and authenticate an application running on a headless server or another machine where the 本製品 is not authorized to open a browser.

Custom Credentials

Instead of connecting with the 本製品's embedded credentials, you can register an app to obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.

When to Create a Custom OAuth App

Desktop Applications

Creating a custom OAuth app is optional as the 本製品 is already registered with Zoho CRM and you can connect with its embedded credentials. You might want to create a custom OAuth app to change the information displayed when users log into the Zoho CRM OAuth endpoint to grant permissions to the 本製品.

Headless Machines

Creating a custom OAuth app is optional to authenticate a headless machine; the 本製品 is already registered with Zoho CRM and you can connect with its embedded credentials. In the headless OAuth flow, users need to authenticate via a browser on another machine. You might want to create a custom OAuth app to change the information displayed when users log into the Zoho CRM OAuth endpoint to grant permissions to the 本製品.

Creating a Custom OAuth App
