Zoho Creator API Toolkit

This toolkit lets LLMs interact directly with the Zoho Creator low-code platform, enabling full CRUD operations on records, forms, reports, and application metadata.

Capabilities

  • Record management: Add, retrieve, update, and delete individual or bulk records (up to 200 per request) across forms and reports, with custom validation respected on every write operation.
  • Bulk export: Initiate and inspect bulk read jobs to export large datasets from reports asynchronously.
  • Metadata introspection: Fetch meta information for applications, workspaces, forms, form fields, reports, and pages — covering structure discovery end-to-end.
  • Schema-driven execution: Write operations (insert, update, delete) expose a two-mode pattern — GET_REQUEST_SCHEMA to retrieve the expected payload shape, then EXECUTE to perform the operation — reducing malformed-request errors.

OAuth

This toolkit authenticates via OAuth 2.0 through the Zoho provider. See the Arcade Zoho auth provider docs for setup details.

Secrets

  • ZOHO_SERVER_URL — The regional base URL for the Zoho Creator API (e.g., https://creator.zoho.com, https://creator.zoho.eu, https://creator.zoho.in). Zoho hosts data in multiple regions; the correct URL depends on where your Zoho account/organization was created. Find your region in the Zoho Creator account under Settings → Developer Space → API details, or consult Zoho's API domain reference. Provide the full base URL without a trailing slash.

See the Arcade secrets guide for how to configure secrets, and manage them at https://api.arcade.dev/dashboard/auth/secrets.

Add multiple records to a Zoho Creator form efficiently. Use this tool to add up to 200 records at once to a specified form within your Zoho Creator application. Each JSON object in the input represents a record to be added, subject to validation. Suitable for situations needing bulk data import or batch entry creation. Note: Understanding the request schema is necessary to properly create the stringified JSON input object for execution. This operation also requires path, query parameters. Modes: - GET_REQUEST_SCHEMA: Returns the schema. Only call if you don't already have it. Do NOT call repeatedly if you already received the schema. - EXECUTE: Performs the operation with the provided request body JSON. Note: You must also provide the required path, query parameters when executing. If you need the schema, call with mode='get_request_schema' ONCE, then execute.
