Integrating Cliq with your HRMS software

Integrating Cliq with your HRMS software

This document will help you sync your HRMS software with Zoho Cliq.

Establishing authentication using Zoho Oauth

Authentication is crucial for secure data interactions, and Zoho OAuth offers a standardized protocol. So, before you can connect your HRMS software with Zoho Cliq, you must establish authentication between the two apps. 
To establish authentication with Zoho Cliq, please follow the steps in our API documentation.
First, you will need to establish an authentication connection between Zoho Cliq and your HRMS software. Zoho Cliq's Rest APIs follow the OAuth 2.0 protocol to authorize and authenticate requests. Each API request must include an OAuth token to receive a success response. All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP and using API without authentication will also fail.
Note: You must use domain-specific Zoho Cliq URL to generate and refresh tokens.

OAuth Token generation

To generate an OAuth token, follow these steps:

Step 1: Generate Client ID and Client Secret

Register your application as a new client by accessing this website:
Note: Make sure to use domain-specific Zoho Accounts URL while registering
  1. Click on Add Client ID and enter the following :
    1. Client Name
    2. Client Domain
    3. Authorized redirect URIs
  2. Click Create
Upon providing the necessary registration details, you will be given a set of OAuth credentials known as the client ID and client secret exclusive for your application. These credentials will be known to both Zoho and your application.

Step 2: Authorization by generating a grant token

Redirect the user to the authorization URL and authorization will be done when the user grants access to the "user consent" page. The authorization URL is: https://accounts.zoho.com/oauth/v2/auth

Step 3: Generating Access and Refresh Token

The value for the code parameter obtained in the response of Step 2 should be used to generate the access and refresh token.
