Zoho Expense Overview#

The Zoho Expense API allows for streamlined management of expense reporting and tracking. With Pipedream, you can automate various tasks like submitting expenses, approving reports, or syncing expense data with other accounting tools. Pipedream's serverless platform enables you to create workflows that react to new expense submissions, scheduled report generation, and much more, without the hassle of managing infrastructure.

        params: {
          filter_by: "Type.Approval,Status.Approved",

        summary: `Expense Report Approved: ${resource.report_name}`,
        ts,
      };
    },

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 Expense	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Zoho Expense app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

Zoho Expense uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Zoho Expense account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Zoho Expense 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 Expense API.

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

ZohoExpense.orgsettings.READZohoExpense.fullaccess.ALL
