Kaizen #19- C# SDK

Kaizen #19- C# SDK

Hello everyone!
Welcome back to another week of Kaizen!
This week, we will discuss the C# SDK.

What is the C# SDK for Zoho CRM?

C# SDK allows you to create client C# applications that you can integrate with Zoho CRM, effortlessly. It serves as a wrapper for the REST APIs, thus making it easier to use the services of Zoho CRM.

Here is a sample of how the SDK acts as a middleware between Zoho CRM and a client C# Application.


What can you do with the C# Software Development Kit?

  • You can use C# SDK to exchange data between Zoho CRM and the client Java application. 
  • The authentication process becomes hassle-free with C# SDK. Since it is handled in the SDK code by default, you need not worry about generating the grant token, access/refresh tokens every time you sync data between Zoho CRM and your client. 
Environment Setup
  • Client app must use .net framework 4.6.1 or above. You can download .net framework through: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/. The .net core is present by default in Mac and Linux OS.
  • The C# SDK is available as a NuGet package. You can install it in three ways:
    • Packet Manager (Windows OS)
      Goto visual studio > View > Other windows > Package manager console.
      Using the following commands, you can install the C# SDK.
      Install-Package ZCRMSDK
      Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
      Install-Package MySql.Data
      Install-Package System.IO.Compression.ZipFile -Version 4.3.0
      Install-Package System.IO.Compression -Version 4.3.0
    • .NET CLI
      Install the .NET core CLI by clicking here. Further, in command prompt, navigate to your project and using the following commands, install the C# SDK.
      dotnet add package ZCRMSDK
      dotnet add package Newtonsoft.Json
      dotnet add package MySql.Data [Only if DB persistence is used]
      dotnet add package System.IO.Compression.ZipFile --version 4.3.0
      dotnet add package System.IO.Compression --version 4.3.0
    • Visual Studio
      For Mac OS
      Goto Visual Studio > Project > Dependencies > NuGet > Manage Nuget  Packages > Search for ZCRMSDK and install it.
      For Windows OS
      Goto Visual Studio > Project > References > Manage NuGet packages > In  the browse tab search for ZCRMSDK and install it.
How to Start using the C# SDK?
In this section, we will discuss how to start using the C# SDK for your application (authenticated via self-client) which uses Zoho CRM: 
Step 1: Register your application 
      1.a. For self-client
      1.b. For web-based client
Step 2: Configure your application
      2.a. For .Net Core applications
      2.b. For other applications 
Step 3: Add persistent classes
      3.a. File Persistence
      3.b. DB Persistence
      3.c. InMemory Persistence
Step 4: Initialization
      4.a. Generating grant token
      4.b. Generating access and refresh token using the grant token
      4.c. Generating access token using the refresh token
Let us now discuss these steps in detail.

Step 1: Register your application

All the Zoho CRM APIs are authenticated by the OAuth2.0 standards. It is mandatory to authenticate your application with Zoho.
You can register your application either as a Self Client (single user app) or a web-based app (multiple users app).

1.a. Self Client
  1. Go to https://api-console.zoho.com.
  2. Click ADD CLIENT
  3. Choose the Client Type as Self Client, and click CREATE.
  4. You will receive a client ID and a client secret upon successful registration.


1.b. Web-based Client
  1. Go to https://api-console.zoho.com.
  2. Click ADD CLIENT
  3. Choose the client as Web-based and click CREATE NOW.
  4. Specify the client name, homepage URL of your application's UI, and a redirect URI to which you want to redirect the users after they grant consent to your application.
  5. Click CREATE.

Your Client ID and Client Secret will be displayed.


Step 2: Configure your client application

2.a. For .Net Core applications

Specify the application configuration details in the app.config file. Add a section named oauth_configuration and ensure that the section has the attribute type as 'ZCRMSDK.CRM.Library.Common.ConfigFileHandler.ConfigFileSection, ZCRMSDK', which is a namespace in C# that consists of the code to read the app.config file. 

<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <section name="oauth_configuration" type="ZCRMSDK.CRM.Library.Common.ConfigFileHandler.ConfigFileSection, ZCRMSDK"></section>
        <section name="zcrm_configuration" type="ZCRMSDK.CRM.Library.Common.ConfigFileHandler.ConfigFileSection, ZCRMSDK"></section>
    </configSections>
    <oauth_configuration>
        <settings>
            <add key="client_id" value="1000. xxxxxxx" />
            <add key="client_secret" value="xxxxxxxx" />

            <add key="iamUrl" value="https://accounts.zoho.com" />
            <add key="persistence_handler_class" value="com.zoho.oauth.clientapp.ZohoOAuthDBPersistence" />
            <!--for database. "com.zoho.oauth.clientapp.ZohoOAuthFilePersistence" for file, user can also implement own persistence and provide the path here-->
            <add key="mysql_username" value="username" />
            <add key="mysql_password" value="password" />
            <add key="mysql_database" value="zohooauth" />
            <add key="mysql_server" value="localhost" />
            <add key="mysql_port" value="3306" />
            <add key="oauth_tokens_file_path" value="/path/to/file.log" />
            <!--Ex:/User/Document/testapplication/src/file.txt). The file can be .txt or .config-->
        </settings>
    </oauth_configuration>
    <zcrm_configuration>
        <settings>
            <add key="apiBaseUrl" value="https://www.zohoapis.com" />
            <add key="photoUrl" value="https://profile.zoho.com/api/v1/user/self/photo" />
            <add key="apiVersion" value="v2" />
            <add key="logFilePath" value="/path/to/file.log" />
            <!--path must be absolute(Ex:/User/Document/testapplication/src/file.log)-->
            <add key="timeout" value="3000" />
            <add key="minLogLevel" value="WARNING" />
            <add key="currentUserEmail" value="patricia@zylker.com" />

2.b. For other applications like ASP.NET, ASP Web App, ASP Website, and so on

Specify the application configuration details in the configuration dictionary. In this case, you can specify the properties of <oauth_configuration> and <zcrm_configuration> in a single section.

Sample:

public static Dictionary<string, string> config = new Dictionary<string, string>()
 {
 {"client_id","1000.XXXX"},
 {"client_secret","b477XXXX"},
 {"redirect_uri","null"},
{"persistence_handler_class","ZCRMSDK.OAuth.ClientApp.ZohoOAuthDBPersistence, ZCRMSDK"},
  
{"oauth_tokens_file_path","/path/to/file.txt"}, //file can be .txt or .config file
  {"mysql_username","root"},

"},
  {"apiVersion","v2"},
  {"logFilePath","/path/to/file.log" }, //absolute path
  {"timeout","3000"},
  {"minLogLevel","WARNING"},
  {"domainSuffix","com"},
  {"currentUserEmail","patricia@zylker.com"}
 };
ZCRMRestClient.Initialize(config);

Step 3: Add persistence classes

Your application should retain tokens (grant, access, and refresh tokens) to automate the process of data sync between your C# application and Zoho CRM.

You can choose to persist (store) the tokens in three ways.
      3.a. File Persistence
      3.b. DB Persistence
      3.c. In Memory Persistence

3.a. File Persistence

If you want to store the tokens in a file, provide the absolute path of the directory containing this file in the oauth_tokens_file_path key in <oauth_configuration> section in the app.config file (or) config dictionary. The file persists the tokens of a single user. So, it is best used for the 'self-client' type of authentication since it involves only one user.  

Ex: 
<add key = "oauth_tokens_file_path" value = "/User/Document/testapplication/src/file.txt" /> 

The file can be a .txt or .config file.

3.b. DB Persistence

Pre-requisites:

  1. MySQL must be running in the same machine serving at the default port 3306.
  2. The database name should be zohooauth.
  3. There must be a table oauthtokens with the columns useridentifier (varchar(100)), accesstoken (varchar(100)), refreshtoken (varchar(100)) and expirytime (bigint).
To use custom DB persistence, you must
Implement IZohoPersistenceHandler interface, and write a custom implementation of the following functions:
  • GetOAuthTokens: invoked to fetch the saved tokens. This method should return the ZohoOAuthTokens object for the library to process it.
  • SaveOAuthTokens: invoked to store the tokens.
  • DeleteOAuthTokens: invoked to delete the tokens.
Include "persistence_handler_class" in the app.config file (2.a) or configuration dictionary (2.b), along with other mandatory keys. 
Ex: 
a. app.config file: 
<add key = "persistence_handler_class" value = "ZCRMSDK.OAuth.ClientApp.ZohoOAuthDBPersistence"/> 

b. Configuration dictionary: 
{"persistence_handler_class","ZCRMSDK.OAuth.ClientApp.ZohoOAuthDBPersistence, ZCRMSDK"}

If the persistence handler class is not specified, the InMemory Persistence handler handles the persistence implementation by default. Pre-defined persistence handler classes belong to the assembly ZCRMSDK.

3.c. InMemory Persistence

This type of persistence uses a singleton class to store and retrieve tokens. The InMemory persists the tokens of a single user. So, it is best used for the 'self-client' type of authentication since it involves only one user. 

The below table contains the list of keys you must include in the configuration dictionary based on the type of persistence.

Mandatory Keys
File Persistence
DB Persistence
InMemory Persistence
client_id

Step 4: Initialization

Intializing your application involves the following steps:

      4.a. Generating grant token
      4.b. Generating access and refresh token using the grant token
      4.c. Generating access token using the refresh token

4.a. Generating grant token

For Self Client Applications
  1. Log in to Zoho and go to Zoho Developer Console.
  2. Select your Self Client.
  3. Provide the necessary scopes separated by commas, along with the scope aaaserver.profile.READ
  4. Select the Time Duration from the drop-down. This is the time the grant token is valid for.
  5. Add a description. Click GENERATE.
  6. Copy the grant token.
For Web-based Applications

It is the responsibility of your client app to generate the grant token for the users trying to login.
Your Application's UI must have the Login with Zoho option to open the grant token URL of Zoho, which would prompt for the user's OAuth2.0 authorization.
Upon the successful login of the user, the grant token will be sent as a parameter to your registered redirect URL.

4.b. Generating an access and refresh tokens from the grant token

Use the below code snippet in your main class to generate the access and refresh tokens for the first time. As discussed earlier, the C# SDK will automatically generate the grant token, access/refresh tokens every time you sync data between Zoho CRM and your client.

ZCRMRestClient.Initialize(config);
ZohoOAuthClient client = ZohoOAuthClient.GetInstance();
string grantToken = <paste_grant_token_here>;
ZohoOAuthTokens tokens = client.GenerateAccessToken(grantToken);
string accessToken = tokens.AccessToken;
string refreshToken = tokens.RefreshToken;

Note:
  • The code snippet to generate the access token from the grant token is valid only once per grant token. If the grant token expires before you generate the access token, you must generate a new grant token only.
  • Generating access and refresh tokens is a one-time process. After the tokens are generated for the first time, the SDK persists them based on the keys defined in the configuration dictionary and refreshes the access token as and when required.
4.c. Generating an access token from the refresh token

Use the below code snippet when you already have a refresh token in place, and you want to use it to generate access token:

ZCRMRestClient.Initialize(config);
ZohoOAuthClient client = ZohoOAuthClient.GetInstance();
string refreshToken = <paste_refresh_token_here>;
string userMailId = <provide_user_email_here>;
ZohoOAuthTokens tokens = client. GenerateAccessTokenFromRefreshToken(refreshToken,userMailId);

Starting the application
The SDK requires the following line of code to be invoked every time your app gets started. This method should be called from the main class of your c# application to start the application. It needs to be invoked without any exception.
ZCRMRestClient.Initialize(config);
The parameter passed is the configuration dictionary name (config), if you are using an app.config file, mention null.

Sample code

Here is a sample to insert records. You can find the code in the attachment.


The isTokenGenerated Method

You need to add this method to check if the access token has already been generated or not. It returns a Boolean value.

true - The access token has already been generated. 
false - The access token has not been generated previously, thus, it shifts the control to the code snippet that leads to access token generation.

For more sample codes, refer to REST API samples.

Cheers!

Right now, CRM uses some (in my opinion nonsensical) fields as search criteria for duplicate records which do nothing except dilute the results.

I have searched here and not found anything relevant, but If I overlooked, then please set me straight.  We have staff that do nothing but close tickets in desk all day long. These tickets represent their timesheet. Is there a way to have this information sync or for a tech to go into their timesheet themselves and sync it with their tickets of the same timeframe?? We waste a ton of time doing timesheets and the old "Clock in/Clock out" isnt detailed enough for us!!

                                                                                                              I am evaluating Zoho Creator. However, I am seeing almost no layout control on a form.  Just a basic 1 or 2 column format that is then imposed on the entire form.  That's not going to work for many, many real world cases. We need multiple columns per line, and we need each line/section to occupy a single column or be able to span the columns.   Someone please tell me that I'm missing something and the capability is actually there.
