1. Connect Cliq with Zoho Projects by giving your connection a name followed by specifying the scopes.
2. The scopes required to add a task in Zoho Projects are,
- ZohoProjects.portals.READ
- ZohoProjects.projects.READ
- ZohoProjects.users.READ
- ZohoProjects.tasks.CREATE
3. The required method is POST and the URL to connect Zoho Projects with Cliq is
4. Once after you initiate the connection use the deluge code generated, in your script.
5. To know more about the scopes available in Zoho Projects head on over here.
The bots menu handler and form submit handler code to add a task in Zoho Projects is attached here. Try copying the code in your deluge editor and execute it.
