Zoho CRM in Microsoft Power Automate Custom Connector

Zoho CRM in Microsoft Power Automate Custom Connector

Hi everyone,

I’m building a Power Automate flow that integrates Microsoft Bookings with Zoho CRM. The goal is to automatically create a meeting (event) in Zoho CRM whenever a new appointment is booked via Microsoft Bookings.

To achieve this, I created a Custom Connector in Power Automate:
Base URL: /crm/v2
Endpoint: /Events
Method: POST
Authentication: OAuth 2.0 using Zoho EU (https://accounts.zoho.eu/oauth/v2/token)
Scope: ZohoCRM.modules.ALL

In the connector’s test tab, I enabled Raw Body and used the following payload:

{

      "data": [

            {

            "Subject": "Consultation with John Doe",

            "Start_DateTime": "2025-08-12T10:00:00+02:00",

            "End_DateTime": "2025-08-12T10:30:00+02:00",

            "Description": "Booked via Microsoft Bookings"

            }

      ]

}


However, when I test the operation, I receive a 400 INVALID_REQUEST error from Zoho CRM with the message: "unable to process your request. please verify whether you have entered proper method name, parameter and parameter values."

The Headers of the error message is:

{

  "cache-control": "private,no-cache,no-store,max-age=0,must-revalidate",

  "content-length": "192",

  "content-security-policy": "default-src 'none';frame-ancestors 'self'; report-uri https://logsapi.zoho.com/csplog?service=crm",

  "content-type": "application/json;charset=UTF-8",

  "date": "Tue, 12 Aug 2025 10:14:26 GMT",

  "expires": "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT",

  "pragma": "no-cache",

  "referrer-policy": "strict-origin",

  "strict-transport-security": "max-age=64072000; includeSubDomains; preload",

  "x-content-type-options": "nosniff",

  "x-download-options": "noopen",

  "x-frame-options": "SAMEORIGIN",

  "x-ms-apihub-cached-response": "true",

  "x-ms-apihub-obo": "false",

  "x-ms-dlp-ef": "-|-/-|-|-",

  "x-ms-dlp-gu": "-|-",

  "x-ms-dlp-re": "-|-",

  "x-ms-environment-id": "default-80ed74fa-8f44-4a36-9520-c03e719ed98a",

  "x-ms-mip-sl": "-|-|-|-",

  "x-ms-tenant-id": "80ed74fa-8f44-4a36-9520-c03e719ed98a",

  "x-xss-protection": "0; mode=block"

}

 

The Body of the error message is:

{

  "code": "INVALID_REQUEST",

  "details": {},

  "message": "unable to process your request. please verify whether you have entered proper method name, parameter and parameter values.",

  "status": "error"

}

 

I’ve confirmed the endpoint is /crm/v2/Events, the headers are correct (Content-Type: application/json, Accept: application/json), and authentication is successful.

What could be causing this error, and how can I resolve it?
Thanks a lot to anyone who can help!

Best, 
Martin

If the same user's status is then set to "Paused," they should be added to the list "Paused Users" and removed from the list "Active Users." This works fine for the first go
