Deprecation of Google Drive and Google Sheets connections in Zoho Finance Applications

Deprecation of Google Drive and Google Sheets connections in Zoho Finance Applications

Dear customers,

We want to inform you about important updates to the Google Drive and Google Sheets connections in the Zoho Finance apps.

Google has notified us about sensitive scopes within these two connections. As a precautionary measure, we have decided to deprecate these connections.

How does this affect you?

The Google Drive and Google Sheets services in Zoho Finance applications will soon reach their end of life. All connections created using these two default services will stop working soon.

What do you need to do?

We strongly recommend our Custom Services, which allow integration with third-party cloud services not covered by our built-in connections under Default Services. You can still utilize Google Drive and Google Sheets functionalities by creating custom service connections with the relevant scopes tailored to specific use cases. Kindly note that you will need to update all instances of the affected connections with the new connection in all functions manually.

We've recently published a post with a step-by-step video on creating a Gmail integration using custom connectors. This resource could be highly beneficial for setting up your Google Drive and Google Sheets connections.
For more information on creating custom services, read our Connections help document.

We understand that this change may require adjustments on your part, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Kindly make the necessary updates to your connections to avoid any potential disruptions.

Our goal is to make this transition as smooth and hassle-free as possible. We are here to support you every step of the way, feel free to post your queries in the comments, and we'll be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,
The Zoho Finance Team
