I want to extract the data from the Invoice and post it into zoho books via http request
https://www.zoho.com/invoice/api/v3/invoices/#create-an-invoice
Hey @Arudhra,
What error are you seeing when you run your workflow and is the Schedule Trigger node running or is the workflow being called by another workflow?
I used schedule trigger, because zoho token will expiry every one hour so in one of the post MuteJam advised to run the scheduled trigger every 30 min.
This is error i am getting, i am not knowing how to pass the JSON body with data
Hey @Arudhra,
That looks like Zoho is not happy with the data you are sending, It might be worth sending the request to something like webhook.site so you can inspect the data and check that it matches what the API is expecting.
can you give me one example, to try
Hey @Arudhra,
If you go to webhook.site it gives you a url, You can then paste this into the http request node as the url and check the site this will then show you what you are sending.
I have scheduled one workflow, as per the output the token should change every time it gets executed, Can you please help me here what is the wrong in this workflow
Hey @Arudhra,
What error are you seeing? Also don’t forget to remove anything sensitive from your workflows like client ids, client secrets and refresh tokens.
Ok sure, I am got getting error
But when the workflow or node is executed, it should generate a new access token so that i can pass it to another HTTP request node which is Invoice Create Http node
Currently i am not able to see the new access token which was suppose to generate after every scheduled execution
Hey @Arudhra,
Have you followed the documentation for OAuth with zoho? I would have expected the parameters to be in the body not the query. It also looks like you don’t have a url query option for access_type=offline
Thanks will check once
ERROR: Header name must be a valid HTTP token - currently i am trying to pass manually the auth token. But unable to know how to pass the access token.
I tried also Bearer $token - but it did not work
Hey @Arudhra,
Auth Zoho is what you have the header name set to there, You will need to set it to whatever name Zoho is expecting.
ERROR: Authorization failed - please check your credentials
401 - “{"code":57,"message":"You are not authorized to perform this operation"}”
But it is working in postman
Hey @Arudhra,
That looks like your authentication is still not correct, have you verified that what you are doing in n8n is the same as what you are doing in Postman? It looks like you are getting the response back from Zoho so this will be an authentication issue.
Why are you using header auth as an option? Does the OAuth2 credential not cover what you need for this?
N8N zoho Oauth2 are linked to zoho CRM, but most of the customers will not use CRM, customers will be having individual Zoho modules. So trying to connect with Zoho invoice module
Hey @Arudhra,
We have an option in n8n to use a custom OAuth2 credential, Have you tried using that?
This lets you set all of the options without having to try and implement the OAuth handshake yourself.
yes, trying it out
