Creating a new Zoho CRM instance
Hi,
Our team is currently using Zoho CRM to manage sales. Recently we have been developing a new mobile application that connects to the CRM API and handles some business processes. Due to this new use case, we would like to have a production and a development CRM where we can test the mobile application without breaking production.
We saw that when you create the API key, there is an option to select production CRM, so hopefully we can add a development one. We didn't see in the help page any information on how to do this. Can you point to us how it should be done?
Thanks in advance.
