Zoho CRM Integration

Overview

Finscreener provides Zoho-ready lead data that you can push to your own Zoho CRM. We act as a DATA PROVIDER - formatting and serving data while you handle your own Zoho connection.

Finscreener API  →  Your System  →  Your Zoho CRM
(Data Provider)     (Fetch leads)    (Push leads)

Your system fetches leads from Finscreener API, then pushes them to your Zoho CRM using your own credentials.

Zoho CRM Setup Guide

Step 1: Create Zoho OAuth Client

Go to api-console.zoho.com
Click Add Client
Choose Server-based Applications
Fill details:
- Client Name: Finscreener Integration
- Homepage URL: http://localhost
- Authorized Redirect URI: http://localhost
Click Create
Save your CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET

Step 2: Generate Grant Token (One Time)

Open this URL in browser (for India DC):

https://accounts.zohocorp.in/oauth/v2/auth?
scope=ZohoCRM.modules.ALL
&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
&response_type=code
&access_type=offline
&redirect_uri=http://localhost

access_type=offline is mandatory to get refresh token. The grant code is valid for 3 minutes only!

Zoho Data Centers:

Region	OAuth URL	API Base
India	accounts.zohocorp.in	www.zohoapis.in
US	accounts.zohocorp.com	www.zohoapis.com
EU	accounts.zohocorp.eu	www.zohoapis.eu
AU	accounts.zohocorp.com.au	www.zohoapis.com.au

Step 3: Exchange Grant Token for Access + Refresh Token

curl -X POST https://accounts.zohocorp.in/oauth/v2/token \
  -d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
  -d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
  -d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -d "redirect_uri=http://localhost" \
  -d "code=GRANT_TOKEN"

Response:

{
  "access_token": "1000.xxxxx",
  "refresh_token": "1000.yyyyy",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "token_type": "Bearer"
}

Save securely: refresh_token (long-lived) and access_token (expires in ~1 hour)

Step 4: Refresh Access Token

Access tokens expire. Use refresh token to get new ones:

import requests

def get_zoho_access_token(refresh_token, client_id, client_secret):
    url = "https://accounts.zohocorp.in/oauth/v2/token"
    payload = {
        "refresh_token": refresh_token,
        "client_id": client_id,
        "client_secret": client_secret,
        "grant_type": "refresh_token",
    }
    r = requests.post(url, data=payload, timeout=30)
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()["access_token"]

Step 5: Push Leads to Zoho CRM

import requests

def create_zoho_lead(access_token, lead_data):
    url = "https://www.zohoapis.in/crm/v2/Leads"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Zoho-oauthtoken {access_token}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    }
    payload = {"data": [lead_data]}
    r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, timeout=30)
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()

# Example: Push lead from Finscreener
finscreener_lead = {
    "Last_Name": "ABC Pvt Ltd",
    "Company": "ABC Pvt Ltd",
    "Email": "contact@abc.com",
    "Phone": "9876543210",
    "City": "Mumbai",
    "State": "Maharashtra",
    "Lead_Source": "Finscreener",
}

result = create_zoho_lead(access_token, finscreener_lead)

Integration Flow

1. User creates/pays for order on Finscreener
              ↓
2. Fetch Zoho-ready leads via /api/crm/orders/{id}/leads
              ↓
3. Push leads to your Zoho CRM (using your credentials)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake	Solution
Forgetting `access_type=offline` in Zoho OAuth	Always include it to get refresh token
Using wrong Zoho DC (.com vs .in)	Match your Zoho account region
Hardcoding access token	Use refresh token to auto-generate
Not handling 401 errors	Refresh token and retry
Creating duplicate leads	Search by Email before creating
