What’s the best way to integrate third-party apps like Google Workspace, Shopify, or QuickBooks with Zoho?


Info

To integrate third-party platforms with Zoho, you have several options based on the use case:

  1. Zoho Flow:
    Use prebuilt connectors to link apps like Gmail, Sheets, Slack, Shopify, or QuickBooks.
    ➤ Example: Create a contact in CRM when a new order is placed on Shopify.

  2. APIs & Webhooks:
    For advanced or custom integrations, Zoho’s REST APIs and webhook support allow developers to create real-time data syncing or actions.

  3. Zoho Marketplace Extensions:
    Search for ready-to-install apps in the Zoho Marketplace (e.g., QuickBooks Connector, Shopify CRM Integration).

  4. Custom Middleware via Creator or Zapier:
    Use Zoho Creator or third-party tools like Zapier if you need to format or validate data during transfer.

Example: When a form is submitted in Typeform, it creates a lead in Zoho CRM and sends a confirmation email via Zoho Campaigns.

This empowers your business to run on your preferred tools while centralizing operations within Zoho.
