Hi all,

I’m running into some limitations with the Zoho CRM node in n8n and was wondering how others have handled this:

From what I see, the standard Zoho CRM node in n8n doesn’t allow you to add or update tags when creating or updating contacts/leads.

Tags are crucial for tasks such as starting drip campaigns, segmentation, or triggering automations in Zoho CRM or Zoho Campaigns. Currently, it appears that the only option is to use an additional HTTP Request node and directly call the Zoho API to add tags to a record—but this approach feels somewhat clunky and lacks a low-code approach.

My questions:

Has anyone successfully added or updated tags on Zoho CRM records using the built-in n8n node?
Is there a setting or hidden feature I’ve missed?

Does anyone have a smoother workaround or best practice for handling tag-based automation (besides the HTTP Request/API method)?

Have you found a way to reliably trigger Zoho CRM workflows or email drip campaigns using API-created records (for example, by updating a field/value or using tags)?

Is there a known reason why tag support is missing in the node, or is there a timeline for when this might be implemented?

I’m not the only one running into this. I would love to hear how others have solved it, or if you have an example workflow to share!
