Example 1: Encode query parameters using encodeUrl function
Consider you want to add leave in Zoho People using Deluge. You can achieve this by making an API call to
Zoho People - Add leave API
using
invokeUrl task
. This API requires leave details to be supplied as query parameters. In order to send values as query parameters, the values must be URL encoded. Query parameters if supplied without being encoded may cause an internal error and affect the invokeUrl task execution.
encodeUrl
Deluge function encodes the query parameters so they contain only the characters that are allowed to be in a URL. The following script encodes the query parameters and makes an API call to add leave in Zoho People using
invokeUrl task
.
-
// Store the input query parameters in the variable - param
-
param = "<Request><Record><field name=\"Employee_ID\">105893000000212005</field><field name=\"From\">25-Jul-2020</field><field name=\"To\">26-Jul-2020</field><field name=\"Leavetype\">105893000000287019</field></Record></Request>";
-
// Encode the input query param using encodeUrl function
-
encoded_param = encodeUrl(param);
-
// Supply the encoded query parameters to invokeUrl task
-
response = invokeurl
-
[
-
url : "
https://people.zoho.com/people/api/leave/records?xmlData=
"+
encoded_param
-
type :POST
-
connection:"zoho_people_connection"
-
];
-
info response;
Example 2: Generate a base64 encoded username and password that can be sent in the header of a basic authentication type API request
The following example encodes username and password using zoho.encryption.base64Encode function and constructs a text in a format that can be sent in the header of basic authentication type API request:
-
// store the user name and password in the variables username and password respectively
-
username = "shawn_123";
-
password = "MyPassword@123";
-
// Encode the username and password in base64 format
-
encoded_username = zoho.encryption.base64Encode(username);
-
encoded_password = zoho.encryption.base64Encode(password);
-
//Structure the encoded username and password in basic authentication format. This text can be supplied as header in basic authentication type API request.
-
basic_authentication = "basic " + encoded_username + ":" + encoded_password;
//Returns basic c2hhd25fMTIz:TXlQYXNzd29yZEAxMjM=

Function #41: Sync Associated Subforms!
Welcome back everyone! The last custom function showed how to update a Contact with Product details from it's Related list in Deals. This week, let's look at a function that lets you update subform records in two modules simultaneously when one of them is updated. Business scenario Let's look at how subform helps in an education institution that has deployed Zoho CRM. National Public School, Austin (made up, of course!) has set up Zoho CRM and it follows the same relationship pattern of "Students",
