When i try to use OAuth2 for my zoho account there seems to be a static client ID that cannot be replaced with the actual Client ID that belongs to me. even the n8n docs arent accurate saying we can paste the client ID/Secret to authenticate the credential. I have already tried using http requests b…

To have it like mine, you would need to be self-hosting n8n.

got it, i appreciate it, ill go ahead and do that, and ill be back with an update, massive thanks

You are very welcome. Just keep in mind that there is not much benefit from having to deal with configuring your own custom OAuth app for each service, when cloud version is doing it for you. Although if you want to self-host, that’s fun too, just a bit more moving parts :slight_smile:

well with all ive done to try and getting this to work i just wanna give it a try because i am really close to giving up but my pride wont let me

[Screenshot 2025-06-12 231315] I got passed the 1st inconvenience which was having the wrong client ID but now i get this error that doesnt make sense since i properly configured my zoho api and i have the right credential too. Any help would be greatly appreciated

No, unfortunately I have never seen this error myself. Out of curiosity, I just reset the password to Zoho account (which apparently I created 13 years ago), created an OAuth app, created an organization in CRM with default pre-populated data. Then I connected n8n to it and pulled my contacts, so so…

hmm i mean after all these attempts and different troubleshooting steps, its not wrong to assume the setup could be wrong even though i doubt it. If it doesnt bother you could we hop on a 15min call at a time of your choosing on google meets or any app just so you can have the full idea? if not then…

I can’t get on a call now, it’s past 2am and my family is sleeping already, and quite honestly I am not sure what the problem could be with that error of yours: “Unable to sign without access token”. It appears that this issue us common to apps using OAuth, I’ve seen another topic or two about this …
