Zoho Creator Overview#

Zoho Creator is a low-code platform that enables the building of custom applications tailored to business needs without extensive coding knowledge. Via its API, you can automate processes, manage data, and integrate with other services. Pipedream amplifies this capability by offering a serverless platform where events from various apps trigger workflows. You can use Zoho Creator’s API on Pipedream to create, read, update, and delete records, automate data flows, and link your custom apps with a myriad of other services for efficient, automated workflows.

Zoho Catalyst Overview#

Zoho Catalyst is a cloud-based backend for building and hosting serverless applications. With its API, you can create, read, update, and delete records in Catalyst Data Store, run Catalyst Functions, manage files in Catalyst File Store, and orchestrate various backend processes. Integrating Zoho Catalyst with Pipedream allows you to seamlessly connect these backend operations with other services and automate workflows. For example, you can trigger a function when you receive an email, process data from webhooks, or sync information between Zoho Catalyst and other platforms.
