Example Use Cases#
Employee Onboarding Automation: Trigger a workflow in Pipedream when a new employee is added to Zoho People. The workflow can send a welcome email through SendGrid, create a new user in your Active Directory, and add the employee to relevant Slack channels automatically.
Leave Request Approval: Set up a Pipedream workflow where leave requests in Zoho People trigger an approval process. The request can be pushed to a Slack channel for a manager's approval, and once approved, it can update the leave status in Zoho People and notify the employee via Twilio SMS.
Daily HR Report Generation: Configure a daily scheduled workflow in Pipedream that fetches the previous day's employee activity from Zoho People, compiles a report, and then sends this report through Gmail to the HR department, providing insights into attendance, time-off, and other HR metrics.

Troubleshooting#
Issues Connecting My Account: IP Allowlist
If your Zoho security policy includes an IP Allowlist, update it to connect your account:
- Add this IP Range:
44.223.89.56-44.223.89.63. - Include your current IP Address because the initial OAuth authorization request originates from your browser.
- Set up a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on Pipedream. Add the static IP address to Zoho's IP Allowlist. Note: VPCs are available with Pipedream's Business Plan or higher. See pricing for details.
After connecting your account, make sure to run the workflow within a VPC.
Authentication#
Zoho People uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Zoho People account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Zoho People 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 People API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
