Kaizen #146 - Assigning values to different field types using Zoho CRM SDKs - Part IV


Welcome to another Kaizen week!

In our ongoing effort to enhance your Zoho CRM integration skills, we have been exploring various field types and demonstrating how to manage them using our different SDKs. So far, we have covered the Java, PHP, and Python SDKs in detail. Today, in Part IV, we will discuss field management using our remaining SDK offerings: NodeJS, Ruby, Scala, TypeScript, C#, and JavaScript. 
Here is a glimpse of how to manage the field data using these SDKs.

4. NodeJS SDK

For more details, please refer to the GitHub repository for our latest NodeJS SDK. Check out the sample codes here.

Standard Fields:

a. Import the Field Class:
  1. import * as ZOHOCRMSDK from "@zohocrm/nodejs-sdk-6.0";
  2. let record = new ZOHOCRMSDK.Record.Record();
b. Assign Values to Standard Fields:
The syntax for assigning values to standard fields uses the addFieldValue method of the Record object:
  1. await record.addFieldValue(Field.{module_api_name}.{FIELD_API_NAME},value);
Replace {module_api_name} and {FIELD_API_NAME} with the appropriate values for your specific use case. Please note that the FIELD_API_NAME should always be uppercase.

For instance, to assign value to a text field, use:
      await record.addFieldValue(ZOHOCRMSDK.Record.Field.Leads.LAST_NAME, "Last Name");
To assign a null value to the same field, use:
await record.addFieldValue(ZOHOCRMSDK.Record.Field.Leads.LAST_NAME, null);

Custom Fields:

To manage custom fields using NodeJS SDK:
a. Import the Record Class:
  1. import * as ZOHOCRMSDK from "@zohocrm/nodejs-sdk-6.0";
  2. let record = new ZOHOCRMSDK.Record.Record();
b. Assign Values to Custom Fields:
The syntax for assigning values to standard fields uses the addKeyValue method of the Record object:
  1. record.addKeyValue("{field_api_name}", value);
Replace {field_api_name} with the appropriate values for your specific use case. 

For instance, to assign value to a custom text field, use:
      record.addKeyValue("Single_Line_Field", "Text Single Line Value");
To assign a null value to the same field, use:
record.addKeyValue("Single_Line_Field", null);

5. C#

For more details, please refer to the GitHub repository for our latest C# SDK. Check out the sample codes here.

Standard Fields:

a. Import the Field Class:
  1. using Com.Zoho.Crm.API.Record.Field;
b. Assign Values to Standard Fields:
The syntax for assigning values to standard fields uses the AddFieldValue method of the Record object:
  1. record.AddFieldValue(Com.Zoho.Crm.API.Record.{module_api_name}.{FIELD_API_NAME}, value);
Replace {module_api_name} and {FIELD_API_NAME} with the appropriate values for your specific use case. Please note that the FIELD_API_NAME should always be uppercase.

For example, to assign a value to a text field, 
      record.AddFieldValue(Com.Zoho.Crm.API.Record.Leads.LAST_NAME, "Last Name");
To assign a null value to the same text field.
      record.AddFieldValue(Com.Zoho.Crm.API.Record.Leads.LAST_NAME, null);

Custom Fields:

To manage custom fields using CSharp SDK:
a. Import the Record Class:
  1. Com.Zoho.Crm.API.Record.Record record = new Com.Zoho.Crm.API.Record.Record();
b. Assign Values to Custom Fields:
The syntax for assigning values to standard fields uses the AddKeyValue method of the Record object:
  1. record.AddKeyValue("{field_api_name}", value);
Replace {field_api_name} with the appropriate values for your specific use case. 

For example, to assign a value to a text field, 
      record.AddKeyValue("Single_Line_Field", "Text Single Line value");
To assign a null value to the same text field.
      record.AddKeyValue("Single_Line_Field5", null);

6. Scala

For more details, please refer to the GitHub repository for our latest Scala SDK.

Standard Fields:

a. Import the Field Class:
  1. import com.zoho.crm.api.record.Record
  2. import com.zoho.crm.api.record.Field.{Leads}
  3. val record = new Record
b. Assign Values to Standard Fields:
The syntax for assigning values to standard fields uses the addFieldValue method of the Record object:
  1. record.addFieldValue(new Field.{module_api_name}.{field_api_name}, "Field Value");
Replace {module_api_name} and {field_api_name} with the appropriate values for your specific use case. 

For example, to assign a value to a text field, 
      record.addFieldValue(new Field.Leads().LastName, "Last Name")
To assign a null value to the same text field.
      record.addFieldValue(new Field.Leads().LastName, null)

Custom Fields:

To manage custom fields using Scala SDK:
a. Import the Record Class:
  1. import com.zoho.crm.api.record.Record
  2. import com.zoho.crm.api.record.Field.{Leads}
  3. val record = new Record
b. Assign Values to Custom Fields:
The syntax for assigning values to standard fields uses the addKeyValue method of the Record object:
  1. record.addKeyValue("{field_api_name}", value);
Replace {field_api_name} with the appropriate values for your specific use case. 

For example, to assign a value to a text field, 
      record.addKeyValue("Single_Line_Field", "Text Single Line value");
To assign a null value to the same text field.
      record.addKeyValue("Single_Line_Field", null);

7. Ruby 

For more details, please refer to the GitHub repository for our latest Ruby SDK. 

Standard Fields:

a. Import the Field Class:
  1. require 'ZOHOCRMSDK6_0'
  2. record = ZOHOCRMSDK::Record::Record.new
b. Assign Values to Standard Fields:
The syntax for assigning values to standard fields uses the add_field_value method of the Record object:
  1. record.add_field_value(ZOHOCRMSDK::Record::Field::{module_api_name}.{field_api_name}, "value")
Replace {module_api_name} and {field_api_name} with the appropriate values for your specific use case. 

For example, to assign a value to a text field, 
      record.add_field_value(ZOHOCRMSDK::Record::Field::Leads.Last_name, "Last Name")
To assign a null value to the same text field.
      record.add_field_value(ZOHOCRMSDK::Record::Field::Leads.Last_name, nil)
