Overview
The Zoho CRM Custom node for n8n allows users to interact with the Zoho CRM API. Specifically, when configured with the Resource: Purchase Order and Operation: Delete, this node deletes a purchase order from your Zoho CRM account based on its unique ID.
Common scenarios:
- Automating the cleanup of obsolete or erroneous purchase orders.
- Integrating with approval workflows where rejected purchase orders are automatically removed.
- Keeping external systems in sync by deleting purchase orders in Zoho CRM when they are deleted elsewhere.
Practical example:
Suppose you have an automated process that reviews purchase orders and flags those that are duplicates or invalid. This node can be used to delete such flagged purchase orders directly from Zoho CRM as part of your workflow.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase Order ID | String | ID of the purchase order to delete. Required field. |
Output
The output is a JSON object containing details about the deleted purchase order. The structure typically includes confirmation data returned by Zoho CRM after deletion, such as the ID of the deleted record and possibly a success message.
Example output:
{
"id": "1234567890",
"message": "record deleted",
"status": "success"
}
Note: The exact fields may vary depending on Zoho CRM's API response.
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to the Zoho CRM API.
- Authentication: Needs valid Zoho OAuth2 credentials configured in n8n (credential type:
zohoOAuth2Api). - n8n Configuration: Ensure the Zoho CRM Custom node is properly installed and credentials are set up in your n8n instance.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid Purchase Order ID: If the provided ID does not exist, the node will throw an error indicating the record was not found.
- Authentication errors: If the OAuth2 credentials are missing or expired, you may see errors related to authorization failure.
- Insufficient permissions: The connected Zoho user must have permission to delete purchase orders.
Error messages and resolutions:
"Record not found": Double-check the Purchase Order ID for typos or ensure it exists in Zoho CRM."Unauthorized"or"Invalid Credentials": Re-authenticate or update your Zoho OAuth2 credentials in n8n."Permission denied": Make sure the Zoho user has the necessary rights to perform deletions.
