Habitica + Zoho Invoice Integrations

This article is about Habitica and Zoho Invoice. Both are amazing products, but the integration of the two products was not smooth. However, after some time, the bugs have been fixed. We are going to talk about the problems with the integration of these two products.

Habitica is a web-based productivity top to keep track of your everyday tasks. It is an application for managing habits. The application can be used on PC“s, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. You can create lists of tasks that you need to complete. You can view your daily progress using charts and graphs.

Zoho Invoice is a web-based invoicing system. It allows you to create professional looking invoices within minutes. It contains templates that can be customized and also allows you to create invoices with custom templates that can be downloaded from Zoho Creator.

When we were working on integrating Habitica and Zoho Invoice, we found it difficult to get them integrated properly. We found that there were some errors in integrating the two applications. One such error was that after making payment using Zoho Invoice, we did not see this transaction in Habitica. This led to multiple tickets being filed on GitHub requesting for help with connecting the two applications.

We tried to look for answers on Stack Overflow, but we did not come across any sputions to our problem. That’s when we started filing tickets at both GitHub and Zoho support forums asking for help. We had to wait for weeks until we got responses from both parties. The response from Zoho support was that we should add the IP address of the server on which Zoho Invoice was installed to Habitica’s geoip database. We tried doing so but this did not spve the problem.

After more than a month of waiting for a spution to this problem, we decided to put our effort on other projects and came back to this problem after a few months. After re-reading the ticket, we realized that it stated that we should add the IP address of the server on which Habitica was installed with Zoho Invoice’s server IP address. This meant that we had to install a free app on our server that would exchange messages between Habitica and Zoho Invoice servers. We did not have the budget for this service so we decided to implement this application by ourselves using Python and Flask web framework. We fplowed a tutorial provided by TechCrunch and made a demo server application in Python with Flask. We modified this code according to our needs and integrated it with our existing codebase for Zoho Invoice and Habitica. We created a separate endpoint in our API in Zoho Invoice for this feature in which we used Flask to communicate with both programs in JSON format. When a new invoice is created in Zoho Invoice, a message is sent to Habitica through this endpoint with details about the new invoice in JSON format. The response from Habitica is processed using Python and passed onto Zoho Invoice along with the username of the user who has made payment using Zoho Invoice. If Zoho Invoice receives a positive response from Habitica, then it creates a new task in Habitica for the payment made by the user in Zoho Invoice so that they can get reward points or experience points by completing the tasks associated with paying their bills on time.

It took us almost 6 months to integrate Habitica and Zoho Invoice because of these problems, but now they work perfectly together!
