In this webinar we’ll walk you through:

  • The structure of the v2 API
  • Constructing an API call with v2 API in a third-party application
  • Using v2 Deluge tasks in other Zoho products

Please note that certain sessions require prior knowledge of third-party languages such as JS, Java and Node.js. We hope to make such webinars a regular part of our schedule every month. Don't forget to register! Please like, share and let us know what you think!
