Overview
The Zoho CRM Custom node for n8n allows you to interact with the Zoho CRM API. Specifically, when using the Vendor resource and the Delete operation, this node enables you to delete a vendor from your Zoho CRM account by specifying the vendor's ID.
Common scenarios:
- Automating the cleanup of obsolete or duplicate vendors in your CRM.
- Integrating with other systems to remove vendors based on external triggers (e.g., when a vendor is deactivated in another system).
- Keeping your vendor list up-to-date as part of larger workflow automations.
Practical example:
Suppose you have a process that flags vendors for removal after a certain period of inactivity. You can use this node to automatically delete those vendors from Zoho CRM.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vendor ID | String | ID of the vendor to delete (required). |
Output
The output will be a JSON object containing details about the deleted vendor. The structure typically includes confirmation information such as the ID of the deleted vendor and possibly a success message or status. Example:
{
"id": "1234567890",
"message": "record deleted"
}
If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an error field with the error message.
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to the Zoho CRM API.
- Authentication: Needs valid Zoho OAuth2 credentials configured in n8n (
zohoOAuth2Api). - n8n Configuration: Ensure the Zoho CRM Custom node is properly installed and credentials are set up.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid Vendor ID: If the provided Vendor ID does not exist, the API will return an error indicating the record was not found.
- Missing Credentials: If Zoho OAuth2 credentials are not configured, the node will fail to authenticate.
- Insufficient Permissions: The connected Zoho user must have permission to delete vendors.
Error messages and resolutions:
"No record found with the given id": Check that the Vendor ID is correct and exists in your Zoho CRM."Invalid authentication": Verify that your Zoho OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up in n8n."You do not have permission to delete this record": Ensure the authenticated user has the necessary permissions in Zoho CRM.
