How do you integrate Zoho Sheets with your application.

1. Create a zoho sheets.
2. Take the resource ID, Each Zoho sheet has a unique identifier called a resource ID.
3. The first step is to retrieve the zoho sheet using the API.

 4(a). If you want to fetch the data from the sheet

resourceId = "zoho sheet resource id";
searchmap = Map();
searchmap.put("method","worksheet.usedarea");
searchmap.put("worksheet_name","Sheet1");
UsedCells = invokeurl
[
type :GET
parameters:searchmap
connection:"crm_conn"
];
info UsedCells;

// Get the used area from the sheet.
used_row_index = UsedCells.get("used_row_index");
used_column_index = UsedCells.get("used_column_index");


 4(b). If you want to set the value in a particular cell

paramMap5 = Map();
paramMap5.put('method','cell.content.set');
paramMap5.put('worksheet_name','Sheet1');
paramMap5.put('row',1);
paramMap5.put('column',1);
paramMap5.put('content',smaplevar);
response5 = invokeurl
[
type :POST
parameters:paramMap5
connection:"crm_conn"
];
info response5;

 4(c). If you want to clear the sheet.
Cleadatamap = Map();
Cleadatamap.put("method","range.content.clear");
Cleadatamap.put("worksheet_name","Sheet1");
Cleadatamap.put("start_column","1");
Cleadatamap.put("end_column",used_column_index);
Cleadatamap.put("start_row","3");
Cleadatamap.put("end_row",used_row_index);
ClearData = invokeurl
[
type :POST
parameters:Cleadatamap
connection:"crm_conn"
];

5. When you create your data map to generate a sheet, use the Create API for Zoho Sheet.

paramMap2 = Map();
paramMap2.put('method','worksheet.records.add');
paramMap2.put('worksheet_name',"Sheet1");
paramMap2.put('header_row',2);
paramMap2.put('json_data',dataList11);
response1 = invokeurl
[
type :POST
parameters:paramMap2
connection:"crm_conn"
];
info response1;
