Connections - Word of the day #108
Connections is a simple authentication mechanism to connect your Zoho CRM account with any third-party application. Connections can be used to invoke any third party applications’ REST APIs and get access to your authenticated data from your functions or widgets.
Zoho offers integration support for a wide range of third-party applications, including core Google services (Contacts, Calendar and Google Ads) and Microsoft software (MS Office, MS Outlook, etc.). However, there are some services that cannot be integrated directly with your CRM, such as Dropbox, PandaDoc, and Google Drive. In these cases, you can use a connector to expand Zoho's third-party support. Connector uses OAuth 2.0 protocol to facilitate this integration.
