Create Zoho Project and assign a contact without account

Create Zoho Project and assign a contact without account

I’m trying to automate the creation of new projects in Zoho Projects using Zoho Flow. In my setup, I often need to assign projects to individual contacts who don’t have an associated Account/Company in Zoho CRM—just a personal contact.


When I create a project manually in Zoho Projects, I can link it to a CRM contact even without selecting an Account, although I get a warning that the contact isn’t associated with a company. I can just click past the warning, and everything works fine.


However, when trying to automate this with Zoho Flow, it seems that Projects expects an Account/Company to be set. Is there a way to create a Zoho Projects project via Zoho Flow and assign it to a contact without an Account? Or is there a workaround to bypass this requirement—just like in the manual process?


Any ideas or best practices? Thanks!
