Create Tasks in arbitrary Zoho Project triggered from CRM [Zoho Projects]

Create Tasks in arbitrary Zoho Project triggered from CRM [Zoho Projects]

Community, hello

What I'm trying to do is to create a Zoho Project when a Deal is created in CRM and then to be able to add tasks to this Project also from Zoho CRM with the trigger (Blueprint/ Workflow).

I succeeded in creating Project using Zoho Flow, although I'm struggling with adding tasks using Zoho Flow - the project for task creation must be specified beforehand (mandatory dropdown without manual entry) and cannot be assigned at runtime automatically.

Is there a way to do that without API calls? Because I can code whatever is necessary, but what's the point in automation?

Thank you
