Zoho Authtokens to be expired and its impact on Deluge

Zoho Authtokens to be expired and its impact on Deluge

Hello everyone,

We hope you are aware that we have stopped new authtoken generation throughout the Zoho suite. Following this, in order to thoroughly move to OAuth authentication, we are now intending to stop the working of existing Zoho authtokens. On 1 April, 2021, all the existing Zoho authtokens will expire. 

Impact of Zoho authtokens expiry on Deluge

After this deadline, all integration operations that are based on authtokens performed using Deluge will cease to work. Here is how we have planned handle them:
  1. Pre-defined integration tasks:

    We will internally migrate all the integration tasks that currently follow authtoken authentication to OAuth. Hence, you need not essentially revisit the authtoken based integration tasks that you've used in your Deluge scripts (if any).

    However, it is advisable to use your own OAuth Deluge connections to authenticate integration tasks. To do so,  create a connection for the required Zoho service and supply its link name as value to the last param (connection param) of the integration task.

  2. Zoho authtoken based default connections:

    All authtoken based Zoho connections created using default services will stop working after this deadline.

    Therefore, we kindly request you to replace all your Zoho authtoken based custom connections (if any) with Zoho Oauth based connections.

    To migrate the Zoho authtoken based default connections to Zoho OAuth based default connection:

    1. Navigate to connections page.
    2. Edit the connection that you need to migrate. The edit page of the connection will list the OAuth scopes of all Zoho services.
    3. Choose the required scopes and connect. So, the authtoken based connection will be migrated to an OAuth based connection and the Deluge functions that utilize this connection will continue to work uninterruptedly.

  3. Custom services that are based on Zoho authtokens and the connections created using them:

    All connections created using user-created custom services that are based on Zoho authtokens will stop working after this deadline.

    Therefore, we kindly request you to replace all your Zoho authtoken based custom connections (if any) with Zoho Oauth based connections.

  4. Hard-coded authtokens in webhook tasks (invokeUrl/ getUrl/ postUrl/ putUrl/ deletUrl): 

    We will not be able to auto-revise your webhook scripts that use hard-coded Zoho authtokens.

    Therefore, we kindly request you to update all your webhook scripts that use hard-coded authtokens (if any). 

    To replace a hard-coded Zoho authtoken with Zoho OAuth connection using Deluge's connections:
    1. Create a connection for the required Zoho service.
    2. Supply the created connection's link name as value to the param - connection in the invokeUrl script.
    3. Remove the hard-coded authtoken that had been supplied to the header/URL of the invokeUrl script.

    Note:
    - Connection cannot be used in getUrl, postUrl, putUrl and deleteUrl tasks. Alternatively, you can use invokeUrl task.
    - The getUrl, postUrl, putUrl and deleteUrl tasks are older version webhook tasks and will be deprecated. All operations performed using these tasks can be achieved using the invokeUrl task.
Please spare some time to analyze and update your Zoho authtoken based custom services, Zoho authtoken based connections, and Deluge functions that use hard-coded authtokens before 1 April, 2021. 

Write to us at support@zohodeluge.com for further assistance.

Thank you,
Deluge team

    • Prevent stripping of custom CSS when creating an email template?

      Anyone have a workaround for this? Zoho really needs to hire new designers - templates are terrible. A custom template has been created, but every time we try to use it, it strips out all the CSS from the head.  IE, we'll define the styles right in the <head> (simple example below) and everything gets stripped (initially, it saves fine, but when you browse away and come back to the template, all the custom css is removed). <style type="text/css"> .footerContent a{display:block !important;} </style>

It appears that task lists are being used as the Kanban columns, which makes sense from the implementation point of view but not the logical one.  Kanban columns are statuses that a task can flow through, while a task list has been a logical way to organize related tasks and relate them to a mislestone. In other words a task in a particular task can go through several stages while remaining in the same task list. After doing some research
