This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Zoho CRM in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Zoho CRM

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Zoho CRM and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Zoho CRM through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

Connect to Zoho CRM by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to Zoho CRM

To connect to your own local data via the desktop (non-browser connection), use the CData-supplied embedded OAuth application.

The Cloud is already registered with Zoho CRM as an OAuth application. As such, it will automatically use the embedded application to connect to local data via a Desktop application.

To avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and eliminate the need to manually set the OAuthAccessToken every time you access local data, set InitiateOAuth to GETANDREFRESH.

Note: The Zoho CRM Cloud defaults UseServerSideFiltering to True for higher performance, but this setting might return incorrect results.

To connect to shared data over the network (browser connection), use a custom OAuth application. To enable this authentication from all OAuth flows, you must set AuthScheme to OAuth.

The following subsections describe how to authenticate to Zoho CRM from three common authentication flows:

• Desktop: a connection to a server on the user's local machine, frequently used for testing and prototyping. Authenticated via either embedded OAuth or custom OAuth.
• Web: access to data via a shared website. Authenticated via custom OAuth only.
• Headless Server: a dedicated computer that provides services to other computers and their users, which is configured to operate without a monitor and keyboard. Authenticated via embedded OAuth or custom OAuth.

For information about how to create a custom OAuth application, and why you might want to create one even for auth flows that have embedded OAuth credentials, see Creating a Custom OAuth Application.

For a complete list of connection string properties available in Zoho CRM, see Connection.

When the access token expires, the Cloud refreshes it automatically.

Automatic refresh of the OAuth access token:

To have the Cloud automatically refresh the OAuth access token, do the following:

1. The first time you connect to data, set the following connection parameters:
   • InitiateOAuth: REFRESH.
   • OAuthClientId: The client Id in your application settings.
   • OAuthClientSecret: The client secret in your application settings.
   • OAuthAccessToken: The access token returned by GetOAuthAccessToken.
   • OAuthSettingsLocation: The path where you want the Cloud to save the OAuth values, which persist across connections.
2. On subsequent data connections, set the following:
   • InitiateOAuth
   • OAuthSettingsLocation

Manual refresh of the OAuth access token:

The only value needed to manually refresh the OAUth access token is the OAuth refresh token.

1. To manually refresh the OAuthAccessToken after the ExpiresIn period (returned by ) has elapsed, call the RefreshOAuthAccessToken stored procedure.
2. Set the following connection properties:
   • OAuthClientId: The Client Id in your application settings.
   • OAuthClientSecret: The Client Secret in your application settings.

3. Call RefreshOAuthAccessToken with OAuthRefreshToken set to the OAuth refresh token returned by GetOAuthAccessToken.
4. After the new tokens have been retrieved, set the OAuthAccessToken property to the value returned by RefreshOAuthAccessToken. This opens a new connection.

Store the OAuth refresh token so that you can use it to manually refresh the OAuth access token after it has expired.

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To connect through the Windows system proxy, you do not need to set any additional connection properties. To connect to other proxies, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

In addition, to authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

• To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
• To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
• To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
• To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

CData Cloud models Zoho CRM Modules as relational tables.

Each API Version supported- v2, v2.1 and v4 is assigned it's own data model.

CData Cloud Data Models

CData Cloud models Zoho CRM Modules as relational tables.

Using Query Processing

The Cloud offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to the Zoho CRM APIs and then processes the rest of the query within the Cloud. The following sections document API limitations and requirements.

Tables

The Cloud connects to Zoho CRM and retrieves the list of Tables and the metadata for the tables by calling the appropriate Web services. Any changes you make to your Zoho CRM account, such as adding a custom module, adding a custom field, or changing the data type of a field, occur immediately when you connect using the Cloud. Tables shows an example, based on the Zoho CRM development environment, of what the entities in your account may look like.

Views

Most Views are defined in static configuration files. Custom Views are not. Instead, custom views are dynamically retrieved by connecting to Zoho CRM, calling the appropriate Web service, and retrieving the list of custom views from the metadata returned. Any changes you make to your Zoho CRM account, such as adding a new custom view, occur immediately when you connect using the Cloud.

To use Custom Views, set the IncludeCustomViews property to true. Its default value is false since custom views introduce an overhead when retrieving the list of tables and views.

Criteria applied in the custom view (either when creating it or when editing it in the UI) will be preserved in CData Zoho CRM Cloud. Nonetheless, further filtering on records is available at any time.

To use Relative Views set the IncludeRelatedLists property to true. Its default value is false since related views introduce an overhead when retrieving the list of tables and views.

EntityId is required to fetch the related module data. This field refers to the parent module Id.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures provides additional capabilities in the Zoho CRM API, including working with files.

The Cloud models the data in Zoho CRM as a list of tables in a relational database that can be queried using standard SQL statements.

Table-Specific Information

Select

The Cloud uses the Zoho CRM API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following column and operator. The rest of the filter is executed client-side within the Cloud.

• ModuleName supports the '=' operator.
• EntityId supports the '=' operator.
• FieldName supports the '=' operator.
• HistoryName supports the '=' operator.

All columns used in the criteria are required. Use FieldName to specify the actual name of the tracked custom field and HistoryName to specify the name of the history tracking section. If you want to retrieve data for a specific entity of a module specify EntityId in the criteria. For example, the following query is processed server side:

SELECT * FROM [CustomFieldHistoryTracking] WHERE ModuleName = 'Leads' AND FieldName = 'pickListField' AND HistoryName = 'Pick List 1'

SELECT * FROM [CustomFieldHistoryTracking] WHERE ModuleName = 'Leads' AND FieldName = 'pickListField' AND HistoryName = 'Pick List 1' AND EntityId = '12345665'
