Zoho OAuth Integration
Connect Zoho to your application without building and maintaining the OAuth flow.
Zoho is a suite of business apps, including Zoho CRM. Each user connects their own Zoho account through your OAuth app. Pathfix manages the authorization flow, stores and refreshes their tokens, and authenticates the requests your application makes to the Zoho API. What your integration does with that access is up to your code.
How Pathfix helps
- 01
OAuth authorization
Pathfix runs the authorization flow with your Zoho OAuth app, so users approve access on Zoho’s own consent screen.
- 02
Token management
Each user’s access and refresh tokens are stored by Pathfix rather than in your application.
- 03
Token refresh
Where Zoho issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.
- 04
Authenticated API passthrough
Your application sends Zoho API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Zoho.
You own the Zoho OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.
