What This Skill Does

The Zoho skill for OpenClaw is a powerful integration layer designed to unify your workflow across the Zoho ecosystem. It provides a seamless interface to manage CRM data, track project milestones, and retrieve meeting information directly through your AI agent. By leveraging the Zoho API, this skill allows users to perform complex administrative tasks such as updating deal statuses in the CRM, listing pending tasks in Zoho Projects, or accessing details from past meeting recordings. It abstracts away the complexity of OAuth authentication and token management, ensuring that your agent always has secure, reliable access to your workspace data without manual intervention.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, follow these steps:

1. Execute clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/shreefentsar/zoho in your terminal.
2. Access the Zoho API Console to create a Server-based Application.
3. Complete the OAuth flow as outlined in the documentation to generate your refresh token.
4. Configure your environment variables to store your Client ID, Client Secret, and Refresh Token.
5. Once configured, the zoho CLI wrapper will handle ongoing authentication and token refreshing automatically, allowing your agent to remain active for extended periods.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for sales teams needing real-time CRM updates, project managers overseeing complex timelines, and remote teams managing meeting documentation. You can use it to automatically update a contact's lead status based on an email thread, query the status of project tasks during a standup, or list all recordings from last week's client meetings to prepare for quarterly reviews.

Example Prompts

1. "Zoho, please list all high-priority tasks in the Marketing project for this week."
2. "Check the current pipeline in Zoho CRM and tell me which deals are in the negotiation stage."
3. "Summarize the key action items from the latest meeting recording found in Zoho Meeting."

Tips & Limitations

• Token Expiry: The access token expires every hour, but the skill handles this via the refresh token. Ensure your refresh token is stored securely.
• Data Centers: Always ensure the Accounts URL provided during authentication matches the data center where your organization is hosted.
• Rate Limiting: Zoho imposes API rate limits. Avoid high-frequency polling in automated scripts to prevent potential service disruptions.
• Permissions: Ensure your generated OAuth tokens have the necessary scopes defined in the setup documentation to prevent 'Access Denied' errors during execution.
