Export data from Zoho CRM to MySQL database

Export data from Zoho CRM to MySQL database

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to export the whole Zoho CRM Database to MySQL or any other database by using the Zoho API. So far all tools such as Skyvia, Devart, CData are failing to do the job for me, as they are exporting only the zoho crm modules. What I need is to export also the related fields, users, groups, subforms and so on.

I need this in order to connect the Zoho CRM data to Power BI and build reports on it. So far I tried the CData connector but it fails to refresh the dataset, which makes it useless.

If anyone has succeeded in this, please share your approach. Thanks!
