Zoho CRM APIs V8 Announcement

Zoho CRM APIs V8 Announcement

Hello everyone!!!
We hope you are all doing well.

Announcing Zoho CRM's V8 APIs! Packed with powerful new features to supercharge your developer experience.

Let us take a look at what's new in V8 APIs:
  • Get Related Records Count of a Record API: Ever wondered how many notes and attachments a Lead record holds? The Get Related Records Count API does exactly that for you. Use this API and get the number of related list records that are associated with a record.
  • Record-Level Sharing of Emails API: Need more control over email sharing? Using this API, you can now share or unshare emails at the record level, whether for specific records or multiple records, with other users within your Zoho CRM organization.
  • Get Rich Text Fields API: We have added a new endpoint to the Get Rich Text Fields API, using which you can retrieve rich text fields and their contents of multiple records using a single API call.
  • Data Sharing Rules API: Data sharing rules let you provide access to users from viewing your data in various modules. With Data Sharing Rules API, you can:
       Note: The following Data Sharing APIs will be released in the upcoming days: Activate Data Sharing Rule API, Deactivate Data Sharing Rule API, Rerun Data Sharing Rules API, and Delete Data Sharing Rule API.
Check out our What's New pages for more details. 

That's not all! We have also made enhancements to many of our existing APIs. For instance, you can now add multi-select lookup, multi-user lookup, rollup summary fields using the Create Custom Field API. From V8, you can convert local picklists to global picklists and vice versa using the Update Custom Fields API.

Check out our Changelog page to find out what other changes we have brought in V8.

  • Our Postman Collection is also updated to include the latest V8 APIs.
  • API Directory : Zoho CRM API directory has been updated with the newly introduced APIs in version 8.

Introducing "OpenAPI 3.0.0 Specification" support

Note: We are not deprecating any of the older versions at this time. Rest assured, we will keep you informed of any plans regarding version deprecation.
