• Construct the request object for ZOHODESK.request.
  
  {
  
        url : 'https://www.zohoapis.com/crm/v2/Contacts/39XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX89',
        headers : {'Content-type' : 'application/json'},
        type : 'GET',

        postBody : {},contentType: "application/json",dataType: "json",service : ""
  
  }
  
• Extract the required values from the response of the request.
  
• Use ZOHODESK.request to invoke Zoho Desk's "Create Contacts" API.
  
• Now use the data extracted from Zoho CRM to construct the request object for pushing the data into Zoho Desk.
