Zoho CRM's V8 APIs are here!

Hello everyone!!!
We hope you are all doing well.

Announcing Zoho CRM's V8 APIs! Packed with powerful new features to supercharge your developer experience.

Let us take a look at what's new in V8 APIs:
  • Get Related Records Count of a Record API: Ever wondered how many notes and attachments a Lead record holds? The Get Related Records Count API does exactly that for you. Use this API and get the number of related list records that are associated with a record.
  • Record-Level Sharing of Emails API: Need more control over email sharing? Using this API, you can now share or unshare emails at the record level, whether for specific records or multiple records, with other users within your Zoho CRM organization.
  • Get Rich Text Fields API: We have added a new endpoint to the Get Rich Text Fields API, using which you can retrieve rich text fields and their contents of multiple records using a single API call.
  • Data Sharing Rules API: Data sharing rules let you provide access to users from viewing your data in various modules. With Data Sharing Rules API, you can:
       Note: The following Data Sharing APIs will be released in the upcoming days: Activate Data Sharing Rule API, Deactivate Data Sharing Rule API, Rerun Data Sharing Rules API, and Delete Data Sharing Rule API.
  • Calls Preferences API: Enable the Calls Preferences option using Update Call Preferences API to view the "From" and "To" numbers of a call. 
  • Workflow APIs: Create, update, or manage workflow rules that automate actions in Zoho CRM.
  • Actions APIs: Enable you to define and manage specific actions executed by Workflow Rules, Blueprints, or Approval Processes, such as sending emails, updating fields, or triggering webhooks.
    • Field Updates APIs: Configure field update actions and allowing workflows to automatically modify record values.
    • Email Actions APIs: Create and manage email notifications triggered by workflow rules.
    • Automation Task Actions APIs: These APIs used to create and manage tasks and that are automatically assigned through automation rules.
    • Webhook Actions APIs: APIs that manage webhook actions triggered by workflows to send data from Zoho CRM to external applications.
  • Link Deal and Unlink Deal APIs: You can now link or unlink deals directly to a contact’s emails, making it easier to track deal-related conversations and keep your sales context organized.
  • Recycle Bin APIs:
    • Get Recycle Bin Record Count API: You can now easily find out how many records are in your Recycle Bin, helping you monitor deleted data before restoring or permanently removing it.
    • Restore Recycle Bin Records API: Accidentally deleted records? You can now restore one or multiple records from the Recycle Bin easily.
    • Empty Recycle Bin API: Need to clean up your Recycle Bin? You can now permanently delete all Recycle Bin records in one action. Once deleted, these records cannot be recovered.
  • Zia Assistant API: It enables AI-powered, context-aware responses using your organization data or globally available information through chat-based inputs.
Check out our What's New pages for more details. 

That's not all! We have also made enhancements to many of our existing APIs. For instance, you can now add multi-select lookup, multi-user lookup, rollup summary fields using the Create Custom Field API. From V8, you can convert local picklists to global picklists and vice versa using the Update Custom Fields API.

Check out our Changelog page to find out what other changes we have brought in V8.
