Overview
The Zoho CRM Custom node for n8n allows users to interact with the Zoho CRM API. Specifically, when configured with the Resource: Account and Operation: Delete, this node deletes an account from your Zoho CRM instance based on a provided Account ID.
Common scenarios:
- Automating the cleanup of outdated or duplicate accounts in Zoho CRM.
- Integrating with other systems to remove accounts as part of a business process (e.g., after a customer churns).
- Building workflows that maintain data hygiene by programmatically deleting accounts.
Practical example:
Suppose you have a workflow that identifies inactive customers. You can use this node to automatically delete their corresponding accounts in Zoho CRM.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Account ID | String | ID of the account to delete. Can be found at the end of the account's URL in Zoho CRM. |
Output
The output is a JSON object containing details about the deleted account operation, as returned by the Zoho CRM API. The structure typically includes confirmation fields such as the ID of the deleted account and status information.
Example output:
{
"id": "1234567890",
"status": "success"
}
Note: The exact fields depend on Zoho CRM's API response.
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to Zoho CRM.
- Authentication: Needs valid Zoho OAuth2 credentials (
zohoOAuth2Api) configured in n8n. - n8n Configuration: Ensure the Zoho CRM API credentials are set up in your n8n instance.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid Account ID: If the provided Account ID does not exist, the node will throw an error indicating the resource was not found.
- Authentication errors: If the Zoho OAuth2 credentials are missing or expired, authentication failures will occur.
- Insufficient permissions: The connected Zoho user must have permission to delete accounts.
Error messages and resolutions:
"Resource not found": Double-check the Account ID; ensure it exists in Zoho CRM."Unauthorized"or"Invalid Credentials": Re-authenticate or update your Zoho OAuth2 credentials in n8n."Permission denied": Verify the Zoho user has sufficient rights to perform deletions.
