Dependencies
- Requires an active Zoho TeamInbox API OAuth2 credential configured in n8n for authentication.
- Depends on the Zoho TeamInbox API being accessible and the user having appropriate permissions to create contacts within the selected organization and team.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or expired API credentials may cause authentication failures.
- Selecting an incorrect or unauthorized organization or team will result in permission errors.
- Missing required fields like Contact Name or Email Address will cause validation errors.
Error Messages:
- Authentication failed: Check that the API key or OAuth token is valid and has not expired.
- Permission denied: Verify that the authenticated user has rights to create contacts in the chosen organization/team.
- Validation error: Ensure all required fields are filled correctly, especially Contact Name and Email Address.
Resolving these usually involves verifying credentials, permissions, and input data correctness.
