Power of Automation ::  Automatically sync the Timesheets with Zoho Creator

Power of Automation ::  Automatically sync the Timesheets with Zoho Creator

Hello Everyone,


A custom function is a software code that can be used to automate a process and this allows you to automate a notification, call a webhook, or perform logic immediately after a workflow rule is triggered.


Lets consider the below use case from a customer - 


Once the user adds timesheets in a project, these logs should be automatically synced with Zoho Creator.


This requirement can be accomplished using Schedule Function which allows you to execute custom functions based on a specified schedule such as hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. 


Below is the script to be used 


TODO: Please create a connection for the Zoho Projects service with the scopes "Zohoprojects.timesheets.all" to replace ‘connectionprojects’ with the connection name. Click this link below to learn how to create the connection. Please find the attached screenshot of Schedule Functions. 


endPointV3 = "https://projects.zoho.com/api/v3/portal/";

currentDate = zoho.currenttime;

moduleTemplate = Map();

moduleTemplate.put("type","task");

timesheetParam = Map();

timesheetParam.put("view_type","day");

timesheetParam.put("module",moduleTemplate);

timesheetParam.put("start_date","2024-08-01");

taskTimesheetResponse = invokeurl

[

url :endPointV3 + portalId + "/timesheet"

type :GET

parameters:timesheetParam

connection:"connectionprojects"

];

info taskTimesheetResponse;

moduleTemplate = Map();

moduleTemplate.put("type","general");

timesheetParam = Map();

timesheetParam.put("view_type","day");

timesheetParam.put("module",moduleTemplate);

timesheetParam.put("start_date","2024-08-01");

generalTimesheetResponse = invokeurl

[

url :endPointV3 + portalId + "/timesheet"

type :GET

parameters:timesheetParam

connection:"connectionprojects"

];

info generalTimesheetResponse;

moduleTemplate = Map();

moduleTemplate.put("type","issue");

timesheetParam = Map();

timesheetParam.put("view_type","day");

timesheetParam.put("module",moduleTemplate);

timesheetParam.put("start_date","2024-08-01");

issueTimesheetResponse = invokeurl

[

url :endPointV3 + portalId + "/timesheet"

type :GET

parameters:timesheetParam

connection:"connectionprojects"

];

info issueTimesheetResponse;
