Overview

Zoho CRM C# SDK offers a way to create client C# applications that can be integrated with Zoho CRM.

Registering a Zoho Client

Since Zoho CRM APIs are authenticated with OAuth2 standards, you should register your client app with Zoho. To register your app:

• Visit this page https://api-console.zoho.com/

• Click ADD CLIENT.

• Choose the Client Type.

• Enter Client Name, Client Domain or Homepage URL and Authorized Redirect URIs. Click CREATE.

• Your Client app will be created.

• Select the created OAuth client.

• Generate grant token by providing the necessary scopes, time duration (the duration for which the generated token is valid) and Scope Description.

Environmental Setup

C# SDK requires .netstandard framework 2.0 or above to be set up in your development environment.

Including the SDK in your project

You can include the SDK to your project using:

1. Install Visual Studio IDE from Visual Studio (if not installed).

2. C# SDK is available as a Nuget package. The ZOHOCRMDOTNETSDK-6.0 assembly can be installed through the Nuget Package Manager or through the following options:

   • Package Manager

     </ItemGroup>
     

Token Persistence

Token persistence refers to storing and utilizing the authentication tokens that are provided by Zoho. Token persistence enables the SDK to automatically refresh the access token after initialization using the refresh token without the need for user intervention. There are three ways provided by the SDK in which persistence can be utilized. They are DataBase Persistence, File Persistence, and Custom Persistence. Please note that the default method of token persistence provided by the Zoho CRM SDK is File persistence.

Table of Contents

• DataBase Persistence

• File Persistence

• Custom Persistence

Implementing OAuth Persistence

Once the application is authorized, OAuth access and refresh tokens can be used for subsequent user data requests to Zoho CRM. Hence, they need to be persisted by the client app.

The persistence is achieved by writing an implementation of the inbuilt ITokenStore interface, which has the following callback methods.

• FindToken(IToken token) - invoked before firing a request to fetch the saved tokens. This method should return an implementation of IToken interface object for the library to process it.

• SaveToken(IToken token) - invoked after fetching access and refresh tokens from Zoho.

• DeleteToken(string id) - invoked before saving the latest tokens.

• GetTokens() - The method to retrieve all the stored tokens.

• DeleteTokens() - The method to delete all the stored tokens.

• GetTokenById(string id) - This method is used to retrieve the user token details based on unique ID.

DataBase Persistence

Database persistence is a technique that involves storing and retrieving data from a database. In case the user prefers to use the default DataBase persistence, MySQL can be used.

• Create a table in your Database with required columns

  • id varchar(10)

  • user_name varchar(255)

  • client_id varchar(255)

  • client_secret varchar(255)

  • refresh_token varchar(255)

  • access_token varchar(255)

  • grant_token varchar(255)

  • expiry_time varchar(20)

  • redirect_url varchar(255)

  • api_domain varchar(255)

Note:

• Custom database name and table name can be set in DBStore instance

MySQL Query

CREATE DATABASE zohooauth;
CREATE TABLE oauthtoken (
  id varchar(10) NOT NULL,
  user_name varchar(255),
  client_id varchar(255),
  client_secret varchar(255),
  refresh_token varchar(255),
  access_token varchar(255),
  grant_token varchar(255),
  expiry_time varchar(20),
  redirect_url varchar(255),
  api_domain varchar(255),
  primary key (id)
);

Create DBStore object

/*
* Create an instance of ITokenStore.
* Host -> DataBase host name. Default value "localhost"
* DatabaseName -> DataBase name. Default  value "zohooauth"
* UserName -> DataBase user name. Default value "root"
* Password -> DataBase password. Default value ""
* PortNumber -> DataBase port number. Default value "3306"
* TableName -> Table Name. Default value "oauthtoken"
*/
ITokenStore tokenstore = new DBStore.Builder().Build();

//ITokenStore interface
ITokenStore tokenstore = new DBStore.Builder()
.Host("hostName")
.DatabaseName("dataBaseName")
.TableName("tableName")
.UserName("userName")
.Password("password")
.PortNumber("portNumber")
.Build();

File Persistence

In case of default File Persistence, the user can persist tokens in the local drive, by providing the the absolute file path to the FileStore object.

• The File contains

  • id

  • user_name

  • client_id

  • client_secret

  • refresh_token

  • access_token

  • grant_token

  • expiry_time

  • redirect_url

  • api_domain

Create FileStore object

//Parameter containing the absolute file path to store tokens
ITokenStore tokenstore = new FileStore("/Users/user_name/Documents/csharp_sdk_token.txt");

Custom Persistence

Users can create their own logic for storing and retrieving authentication tokens using the custom persistence technique. To use Custom Persistence, you must implement ITokenStore interface(Com.Zoho.API.Authenticator.Store.ITokenStore) and override the methods.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Com.Zoho.API.Authenticator;
using Com.Zoho.API.Authenticator.Store;

namespace Samples
{
    public class CustomStore : ITokenStore
    {
        public CustomStore()
        {
        }

        public IToken FindToken(IToken token)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        public IToken FindTokenById(string id)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        public void SaveToken(IToken token)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        public void DeleteToken(string id)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        public List<IToken> GetTokens()
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        public void DeleteTokens()
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }
}

Configuration

Before you get started with creating your C# application, you need to register your client and authenticate the app with Zoho.

The environment key contains the domain information to make API calls. The token key represents the OAuth info, including the clientID, clientSecret, grantToken, redirectURL, refreshToken or accessToken depending on the flow that you use. Refer to ##create an instance of OAuthToken## for more details.

• Configure the API environment which decides the domain and the URL to make API calls.

  /*
  * Configure the environment
  * which is of the pattern Domain.Environment
  * Available Domains: USDataCenter, EUDataCenter, INDataCenter, CNDataCenter, AUDataCenter,CADataCenter
  * Available Environments: PRODUCTION, DEVELOPER, SANDBOX
  */
  Environment environment = USDataCenter.PRODUCTION;
  

• Create an instance of OAuthToken with the information that you get after registering your Zoho client. In the context of token persistence, the grant token flow and refresh token flow involve storing and persisting the token. However, the access token flow does not involve token persistence and the access token is directly utilized for API calls. Depending on the tokens available with you, choose grantToken flow, refreshToken flow or accessToken flow.

  • By default, the findUser key is set to true, to set userSignature. However, this requires the ZohoCRM.users.READ and ZohoCRM.org.READ scopes to be mandatory. If you do not want to set userSignature, you must set the findUser key to false.

  • Use the following method for GrantToken flow:

      IToken token = new OAuthToken.Builder()
      .ClientId("clientId")
      .ClientSecret("clientSecret")
      .GrantToken("grantToken")
      .RedirectURL("redirectURL")
      .FindUser(false)// by default true
      .Build();
  

  • Use the following method for RefreshToken flow:

      IToken token = new OAuthToken.Builder()
      .ClientId("clientId")
      .ClientSecret("clientSecret")
      .RefreshToken("refreshToken")
      .FindUser(false)// by default true
      .Build();
  

  • Use the following method for AccessToken flow:

      IToken token = new OAuthToken.Builder()
      .AccessToken("accessToken")
      .FindUser(false)// by default true
      .Build();
  

  • Use the following method for Id flow:

      IToken token = new OAuthToken.Builder()
      .Id("id")// available in token store
      .Build();
  

• Create an instance of Logger Class to log exception and API information. By default, the SDK constructs a Logger instance with level - INFO and file_path - (sdk_logs.log parallel to bin/(Debug or Release) folder )

  /*
  * Create an instance of Logger Class that requires the following
  * Level -> Level of the log messages to be logged. Can be configured by typing Levels "." and choose any level from the list displayed.
  * FilePath -> Absolute file path, where messages need to be logged.
  */
  Logger logger = new Logger.Builder()
  .Level(Logger.Levels.ALL)
  .FilePath("/Users/csharp_sdk_log.log")
  .Build();
  

• Create an instance of ITokenStore to persist tokens, used for authenticating all the requests. By default, the SDK creates the sdk_tokens.txt file (parallel to to bin/(Debug or Release) folder) to persist the tokens.

  • Use the following method for DB Store

  /*
  * Create an instance of DBStore that requires the following
  * Host -> DataBase host name. Default "localhost"
  * DatabaseName -> DataBase name. Default "zohooauth"
  * UserName -> DataBase user name. Default "root"
  * Password -> DataBase password. Default ""
  * PortNumber -> DataBase port number. Default "3306"
  * TableName -> Table Name. Default value "oauthtoken"
  */
  //ITokenStore tokenstore = new DBStore.Builder().Build();
  
  ITokenStore tokenstore = new DBStore.Builder()
  .Host("hostName")
  .DatabaseName("dataBaseName")
  .TableName("tableName")
  .UserName("userName")
  .Password("password")
  .PortNumber("portNumber")
  .Build();
  

  • Use the following method for File Store

  ITokenStore tokenstore = new FileStore("absolute_file_path");
  

  • Use the following method for Custom Store

  ITokenStore tokenStore = new CustomStore();
  

• Create an instance of SDKConfig containing the SDK configuration.

  /*
  * By default, the SDK creates the SDKConfig instance
  * autoRefreshFields (default - false)
  * if true - all the modules' fields will be auto-refreshed in the background, every hour.
  * if false - the fields will not be auto-refreshed in the background. The user can manually delete the file(s) or refresh the fields using methods from ModuleFieldsHandler(com.zoho.crm.api.util.ModuleFieldsHandler)
  *
  * pickListValidation (default - true)
  * A boolean field that validates user input for a pick list field and allows or disallows the addition of a new value to the list.
  * true - the SDK validates the input. If the value does not exist in the pick list, the SDK throws an error.
  * false - the SDK does not validate the input and makes the API request with the user’s input to the pick list
  */
  SDKConfig config = new SDKConfig.Builder()
  .AutoRefreshFields(false)
  .PickListValidation(true)
  .Timeout(10)
  .Build();
  

• The path containing the absolute directory path to store user-specific files containing module fields information. By default, the SDK stores the user-specific files in a folder parallel to bin/(Debug or Release)

  string resourcePath = "/Users";
  

• Create an instance of RequestProxy containing the proxy properties of the user.

  /*
  * Create an instance of RequestProxy
  * host -> proxyHost
  * port -> proxyPort
  * user -> proxyUser
  * password -> password
  * userDomain -> userDomain
  */
  RequestProxy requestProxy = new RequestProxy.Builder()
  .Host("proxyHost")
  .Port(proxyPort)
  .User("proxyUser")
  .Password("password")
  .UserDomain("userDomain")
  .Build();

Threading in the C# SDK

Threads in a C# program help you achieve parallelism. By using multiple threads, you can make a C# program run faster and do multiple things simultaneously.

Multithreading in a Multi-User App

Multi-users functionality is achieved using SwitchUser() method.

new Initializer.Builder()
.Environment(environment)
.Token(token)
.SDKConfig(config)
.SwitchUser();

Here is a sample code to depict multi-threading for a multi-user app.

• The program execution starts from Main().

• The details of "user1" is given in the variables user1, token1, environment1.

• Similarly, the details of another user "user2" is given in the variables user2, token2, environment2.

• For each user, an instance of MultiThread class is created.

• When the Start() is called which in-turn invokes the run(), the details of user1 are passed to the SwitchUser function through the MultiThread object. Therefore, this creates a thread for user1.

• Similarly, When the Start() is invoked again, the details of user2 are passed to the SwitchUser function through the MultiThread object. Therefore, this creates a thread for user2.

• The program execution starts from Main() where the SDK is initialized with the details of user and an instance of MultiThread class is created .

• When the Start() is called which in-turn invokes the Run(), the moduleAPIName is switched through the method parameter. Therefore, this creates a thread for the particular method called with the MultiThread instance.
