Integrating Zoho People with We360.ai allows automatic punch-in and punch-out logs to be pushed directly to your Zoho account — saving time and ensuring accurate attendance tracking.
This guide walks you through the complete setup using Zoho's OAuth 2.0 API.
✅ Prerequisites
Admin access to Zoho API Console
Admin access to Zoho People
Admin access to We360.ai portal
🔄 Step-by-Step Configuration
Step 1: Create a Zoho API Client
Visit: https://api-console.zoho.in
Click ➕ Add Client
Choose Self Client
Set the scope to:
ZOHOPEOPLE.attendance.ALL
Click Create to generate the authorization code
Copy the generated code — you'll need it for the next step
📌 Refer to the screenshot for finding the Client ID and Client Secret in the API Console.
Step 2: Get Access and Refresh Tokens via cURL
Replace the placeholders below with your own:
curl --location --request POST 'https://accounts.zoho.in/oauth/v2/token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=<clientId>&client_secret=<clientSecret>&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Faccounts.zohoportal.in%2Faccounts%2Fextoauth%2F<Organisation ID>%2Fclientcallback&code=<Created code>' \
--header 'Accept-Language: en-GB,en-US;q=0.9,en;q=0.8'
🔁 Replace the following placeholders:
<clientId> → Your Zoho Client ID
<clientSecret> → Your Zoho Client Secret
