Note:
- API keys can be copied from the pop-up windows. Once a pop-up window is closed, the key cannot be retrieved. Only partially masked keys will be available in the API key table for identification.

Common questions
Does the plugin support multi-sites?
Yes, the Zoho Flow plugin is compatible with multi-site setups. Please note that connections are site-specific, meaning you must install plugins separately for all the required sites.
What should I do if the IP restriction is enabled on my site?
If your site has IP restrictions enabled, you can whitelist Zoho Flow’s IP addresses in your security plugin.
Does the plugin support custom post types?
Yes, starting from version 2.0.0, the Zoho Flow plugin supports custom post types and their associated metadata.
Can I use this plugin to connect my website, which is hosted on WordPress.com?
Yes, you can connect WordPress.com hosted sites by installing the Zoho Flow plugin. However, please note that you should use the WordPress.org integration instead of WordPress.com. WordPress.org covers advanced functionalities compared to its cloud version.
What can I do if the plugin I am looking for is not available in the Zoho Flow plugin?
Check whether direct integration is available on the Zoho Flow gallery. If the plugin is not listed in the gallery, you can request integration by clicking the "Request an app" button from the left side panel.
In the meantime, consider using WordPress.org integration, which supports custom post types and meta data. You can try using a post-related trigger or action to achieve your specific use case.
