Overview
The Zoho CRM Custom node for n8n allows you to interact with the Zoho CRM API. Specifically, when configured with the Resource: Lead and Operation: Delete, this node deletes a lead from your Zoho CRM account based on the provided Lead ID.
Common scenarios:
- Automating the cleanup of outdated or invalid leads in Zoho CRM.
- Removing leads as part of a data hygiene workflow.
- Integrating with other systems to automatically delete leads under certain conditions (e.g., after conversion or disqualification).
Practical example:
Suppose you have a workflow that identifies duplicate or unqualified leads. You can use this node to automatically remove those leads from Zoho CRM by passing their IDs.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Lead ID | String | ID of the lead to delete in Zoho CRM. This is required and uniquely identifies which lead will be deleted. |
Output
The output is a JSON object containing details about the deletion operation. Typically, it includes confirmation information such as the ID of the deleted lead and possibly a status message from Zoho CRM.
Example output:
{
"id": "1234567890",
"message": "record deleted",
"status": "success"
}
Note: The exact structure may vary depending on Zoho CRM's API response.
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to a Zoho CRM account.
- Authentication: Needs valid Zoho OAuth2 credentials configured in n8n (
zohoOAuth2Api). - n8n Configuration: Ensure the Zoho CRM OAuth2 credential is set up in your n8n instance.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid Lead ID: If the provided Lead ID does not exist, the node will return an error from Zoho CRM indicating the record was not found.
- Missing Credentials: If Zoho OAuth2 credentials are not configured or have expired, authentication errors will occur.
- Insufficient Permissions: The connected Zoho user must have permission to delete leads; otherwise, a permission error will be returned.
Error messages and resolutions:
"Record not found": Check that the Lead ID is correct and exists in Zoho CRM."Invalid OAuth token"or"Authentication failed": Reconnect or refresh your Zoho OAuth2 credentials in n8n."Permission denied": Ensure the Zoho user has sufficient rights to delete leads.
