The Togai and ZohoBooks Integration supports a bidirectional sync between Togai and ZohoBooks. This API guide will walk you through the steps to set up the integration, configure apps and flows, and enable automation for your business processes.

The integration between ZohoBooks and Togai requires only a one-time setup. Follow the steps below:

​
Installation of App Instances

  • Navigate to the Integrations section from the left navigation bar in Togai
  • Click on Apps to access the list of apps with integration support
  • Select ZohoBooks from the available apps
  • Click on the +Add connection button !](/docs[/integrations/images/e9f8816-image.png)
  • App link name: Provide a name for this connection
  • Client ID: Go to your ZohoBooks account and create a Self Client . Once you create this client, you’ll get the Client ID and Client Secret.
  • Self Client Code: You can then generate authorization code by filling valid scope details and setting the time duration under Generate Code.

Repeat the same process for Togai, treating it as a separate App within the integration.

Note: Togai is considered an app in our integration so it is easy for you to configure different keys for different flows. This way you can have specific permissions configured for a specific key, making it more secure. To create a secret key for Togai, go to the Admin Center on the left nav bar. Click on the API tokens tab. Then click on the ‘Generate new token’ button.

​
Flows and Automation

  • To enable flows, go to the ”Flows” section within Integrations
  • Select the desired flow from the available options or create a new flow to meet your requirements. You can create a new flow by clicking on the ”Create New Flow+” Button
  • To create a new flow:
  • Enter the flow name and description
  • Select the flow type from the dropdown
  • Inbound Flow - based on third party events(eg: ZohoBooks), actions are triggered in Togai
  • Outbound Flow - based on events occurring in Togai, changes are made to the connected third party app
  • Define triggers by choosing the source application from where the flow starts
  • Select a predefined trigger from the dropdown list
  • Next, define an action which makes the desired changes by selecting the destination app
  • Select a predefined action from the dropdown list. You can add multiple actions.
  • Lastly, preview the flow and save changes
    Else, choose an existing flow and select +Add Connection

Configure the triggers and actions by specifying the app instance (ZohoBooks or Togai) associated with each step.
