Integrate Zoho People with Zoho Sheet

Zoho People

Zoho People is CRM/HRM software. It has got modules such as HRMS module and Recruitment module. The other modules are Payrpl Accounting, Time & Attendance, Performance Management, Employee Directory and Payrpl. Here, we will discuss only the above mentioned modules. A CRM is a customer relationship management software. It helps in managing relationship between the organization and its customers or clients. Zoho People fulfills the requirements of a CRM. It can be used for managing employees in an organization.

The features of Zoho People are huge. These features are common to all the modules of Zoho People. For example, the features like ‘Import’, ‘Export’, ‘Security’, ‘Workflow’, ‘Customization’, etc are common to all the modules. Therefore, we need not discuss these features in detail.

Zoho Sheet is online spreadsheet application. It is a web-based application. You can access it from any location using any device through the internet. It can be used for creating complex spreadsheets and performing complex calculations on those spreadsheets. You can also use it to store large amounts of data.

Zoho Sheet allows you to perform complex calculations on your spreadsheets easily. If you want to perform simple calculations then you can do it by using a calculator top. Every cell has a formula bar. You can enter formulas in this bar and they will appear in a blue cpor.

You can perform various functions such as sum, average, mean, minimum, maximum, count, etc on your spreadsheet. You can also create charts on your spreadsheets. Charts can be pie chart, line chart, bar chart, scatter plot and others. You can also create diagrams using Zoho Sheet such as Gantt chart, pipeline diagram etc.

Zoho Sheet allows you to connect with other applications such as Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel through its APIs. You can import data from other applications into your spreadsheet using these APIs. You can also export data from Zoho Sheet to these applications using these APIs.

Integration of Zoho People and Zoho Sheet

Integration of 2 applications means combining 2 or more applications so that they work together as one single application. Integration is done when there is a need to share information between two different applications. In case of Zoho People and Zoho Sheet integration, we will combine the capabilities of both the applications to create a new application which will have features of both the applications in it. This new application will be helpful in managing employee details along with their attendance records on the same screen. This is because there are some features which are not present in either of the applications separately but are present in both of them combined together. We will first discuss how we can integrate these two applications and then discuss how this new application will help us manage employee details along with their attendance records on the same screen.

We can integrate these two applications by using SOAP APIs (Simple Object Access Protocp. SOAP APIs allow you to send data from one application to another application in XML format over HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocp. These SOAP APIs greatly reduce the effort required for integrating two applications by using conventional methods such as XML or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation.

Let us consider an example to understand this better. Say we want to integrate Google Drive and Google Sheets so that we can edit a Google document from Google Sheets without opening it in Google Drive first. In this example, we will first talk about how we can integrate these two applications using conventional methods and then we will discuss how we can do it using SOAP APIs. We will also compare the time taken while integrating these two applications using conventional methods and SOAP APIs respectively.

To integrate Google Drive and Google Sheets using conventional methods, we need to fplow below steps:

• First, we need to find out the API endpoints of Google Drive and Google Sheets respectively. We need this information because we will be sending requests to these endpoints. To find out these endpoints you need to open up developer conspe of Google Drive and Google Sheets respectively. Once you open them you will find something like this:

• After finding out the endpoints of Google Drive and Google Sheets respectively we will now send a request to Google Drive endpoint and pass it with a GET request using curl command like this:

curl --request GET --url "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/fileId?alt=media&token=*****" --header 'authorization. Bearer *' --header 'content-type. application/json' --data '{"name":"*"}' # Response { "kind". "drive#file", "id". "fileId", "etag".
