How do you integrate Zoho Sheets with your application.

1. Create a zoho sheets.
2. Take the resource ID, Each Zoho sheet has a unique identifier called a resource ID.
3. The first step is to retrieve the zoho sheet using the API.
4. Set the parameters (you need to pass the Parameter Map) according to your requirements.

 4(a). If you want to fetch the data from the sheet

resourceId = "zoho sheet resource id";
searchmap = Map();
searchmap.put("method","worksheet.usedarea");
searchmap.put("worksheet_name","Sheet1");
UsedCells = invokeurl
[
type :GET
parameters:searchmap
connection:"crm_conn"
];
info UsedCells;

// Get the used area from the sheet.
used_row_index = UsedCells.get("used_row_index");
used_column_index = UsedCells.get("used_column_index");


 4(b). If you want to set the value in a particular cell

paramMap5 = Map();
paramMap5.put('method','cell.content.set');
paramMap5.put('worksheet_name','Sheet1');
paramMap5.put('row',1);
paramMap5.put('column',1);
paramMap5.put('content',smaplevar);
response5 = invokeurl
[
type :POST
parameters:paramMap5
connection:"crm_conn"
];
info response5;

 4(c). If you want to clear the sheet.
Cleadatamap = Map();
Cleadatamap.put("method","range.content.clear");
Cleadatamap.put("worksheet_name","Sheet1");
Cleadatamap.put("start_column","1");
Cleadatamap.put("end_column",used_column_index);
Cleadatamap.put("start_row","3");
Cleadatamap.put("end_row",used_row_index);
ClearData = invokeurl
[
type :POST
parameters:Cleadatamap
connection:"crm_conn"
];

5. When you create your data map to generate a sheet, use the Create API for Zoho Sheet.

paramMap2 = Map();
paramMap2.put('method','worksheet.records.add');
paramMap2.put('worksheet_name',"Sheet1");
paramMap2.put('header_row',2);
paramMap2.put('json_data',dataList11);
response1 = invokeurl
[
type :POST
parameters:paramMap2
connection:"crm_conn"
];
info response1;
