Zoho Projects Overview#

The Zoho Projects API lets you harness the full potential of project management by enabling seamless integration with other tools and automating routine tasks. With it, you can create projects, manage tasks, track time, and customize your workflow. On Pipedream, you can leverage this API to build robust automations that connect Zoho Projects with a plethora of other apps, streamlining project tracking and collaboration workflows, all without writing a single line of code.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common.mjs";
import constants from "../../common/constants.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "zoho_projects-new-project",
  name: "New Project",

  type: "source",
  version: "0.0.3",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    portalId: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.zohoProjects,
        "portalId",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceName() {
      return constants.MODULES.PROJECTS;
    },
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.zohoProjects.getProjects;
    },
    getResourceFnArgs() {
      return {
        portalId: this.portalId,
        params: {
          sort_column: "created_time", // created_time | last_modified_time
          sort_order: "descending", // ascending | descending
        },
      };
    },
    resourceFilter(resource) {
      const lastCreatedAt = this.getLastCreatedAt() || 0;
      return resource.created_date_long > lastCreatedAt;
    },
    generateMeta(resource) {
      return {
        id: resource.id_string,
        ts: resource.created_date_long,
        summary: `Project ID ${resource.id_string}`,
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Zoho Projects	`zohoProjects`	`app`	This component uses the Zoho Projects app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the Zoho Projects API
Portal ID	`portalId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Zoho Projects uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Zoho Projects account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Zoho Projects and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Zoho Projects API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

ZohoProjects.portals.allZohoProjects.projects.allZohoProjects.activities.createZohoProjects.status.readZohoProjects.milestones.allZohoProjects.tasklists.allZohoProjects.tasks.allZohoProjects.timesheets.allZohoProjects.bugs.allZohoProjects.tags.allZohoProjects.events.allZohoProjects.forums.allZohoProjects.users.allZohoProjects.documents.CREATEZohoPC.files.CREATEZohoProjects.search.readZohoProjects.documents.READWorkDrive.team.ALLWorkDrive.workspace.ALLWorkDrive.files.ALL

Tick Overview#

Tick is a time tracking and project management tool designed to help teams keep track of time spent on various tasks and projects. With the Tick API, you can automate project time entries, generate reports, and sync time data with other tools. Specifically, when you plug the Tick API into Pipedream, you leverage serverless workflows to connect Tick with hundreds of other apps. You can automate time tracking, streamline project updates, and trigger actions based on time entry events.

import tick from "../../tick.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Create Time Entry",

    },
    hours: {
      label: "Hours",
      description: "The hours of the time entry. E.g. `1.5`",
      type: "string",
    },
    notes: {
      label: "Notes",
      description: "The notes of the time entry. E.g. `Chasing Ewoks`",
      type: "string",
    },
  },
  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.tick.createTimeEntry({
      $,
      data: {

Action Authentication#

Tick uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Tick account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Tick APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your API Token and Subscription ID, sign in to your Tick account and navigate to your Account page, then find the API Information on the right column.
For email, provide an email address for Tick to use in case they need to contact you.
