Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Zoho Inventory Overview#

Zoho Inventory API on Pipedream opens the door to smart inventory management by allowing you to integrate with a plethora of apps, automate inventory tracking, and streamline order processing. You can sync your inventory levels across multiple sales channels, automatically update stock quantities, process sales orders, manage returns, and generate detailed reports, all in real-time. With Pipedream's serverless platform, crafting workflows becomes a breeze, letting you focus on scaling your business while reducing manual overhead.

Trigger Code#

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

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "zoho_inventory-new-contact",
  name: "New Contact",
  description: "Emit new event each time a new contact is created in Zoho Inventory",
  version: "0.0.3",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.zohoInventory.listContacts.bind(this);
    },
    getResourceType() {
      return "contacts";
    },
    generateMeta(contact) {
      return {
        id: contact.contact_id,
        summary: `New Contact ${contact.contact_name || contact.contact_id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(contact.created_time),
      };
    },
  },
};

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 Inventory	`zohoInventory`	`app`	This component uses the Zoho Inventory app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the Zoho Inventory API on this schedule
Organization	`organization`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Maximum Results	`maxResults`	`integer`	The maximum number of results to return at one time.

Trigger Authentication#

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

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

ZohoInventory.settings.READZohoinventory.FullAccess.all

Node Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#

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

export default {
  name: "Run Node Code",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "node-run-node-code",
  description: "Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the [Pipedream Node docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs) to learn more.",
  props: {
    node,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event;
  },
};
