Zoho Projects Airdrop
The Zoho Projects Airdrop simplifies the migration from Zoho Projects to DevRev, supporting both one-time imports and periodic syncs.
Set up the Zoho Projects connection
Zoho Projects Airdrop uses OAuth 2.0 for a secure and easy connection between DevRev and your Zoho Projects account.
Supported objects
The following is a list of Zoho Projects objects and their corresponding DevRev equivalents. Objects marked as Sync to DevRev are eligible for import and sync.
Import from Zoho Projects
Follow the steps below to import from Zoho Projects:
- Go to Settings → Snap-ins → All Snap-ins, and search for Zoho Projects Airdrop.
- In the snap-in page, click the Add button at the top-right corner. This triggers the snap-in configuration and installation modal.
- Click on Install Snap-in to add it to your organization.
- Go to the Airdrops section from the navigation bar and click Airdrop (or Start Airdrop if it's your first).
- A pop-up opens to select the connection. Select Airdrop Zoho Projects Snap-in, click the dropdown, and choose + Add connection.
- Name the connection (for example, "Zoho Connection"), enter zoho in the Subdomain field, and click Sign in with Snap-ins.
- OAuth prompts you to verify scopes necessary to access your Zoho Projects data.
- Once the connection is established, click Start Airdrop.
- Select Airdrop Zoho Projects Snap-in and choose the connection you just created.
- From the list of available sync units, select the project you want to import and specify the DevRev part to use for the imported content.
- After extraction, you are prompted to map fields via the UI. Once done, the data is transformed and loaded into DevRev.
The import duration depends on the size of your Zoho Projects data. Projects with a few dozen items import quickly, while large projects may take hours. DevRev honors Zoho API rate limits and automatically resumes if interrupted.
Post import options
After a successful import, the following options are available:
-
Sync to DevRev
Sync any new or modified items from Zoho Projects to their counterparts in DevRev. -
View Report
Review detailed logs of the initial import and any subsequent syncs. -
Delete Import
Remove all imported data from DevRev. -
Edit Connection
Update the OAuth connection, useful if credentials expire or the original connector is no longer available.
Sync to DevRev
To perform a one-time sync from Zoho Projects to DevRev:
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Airdrops.
- Locate the previously imported project.
- Select ⇆ > ⇾ From Zoho Projects to DevRev.
A one-time sync may overwrite fields in previously imported items, even if they were modified in DevRev.
Historical Airdrops
To view currently running and previous Airdrops from various sources, do the following:
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Airdrops.
- Select the import you want to view.
- Click on the context menu (⋮) and select View Report.
Periodic sync
After successfully importing to DevRev, you have the option to enable a periodic sync. This allows for automatic synchronization with DevRev on a regular basis. By default, the sync occurs once an hour.
To configure periodic sync, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings > Integrations > Airdrops.
- Locate the previously imported project.
- Select the ⇆ > Set Periodic Sync option.
The Enable automations for synced items setting is optional and can be activated during periodic sync configuration. When enabled, newly created or updated items trigger events, which can initiate webhooks, notifications, Snap-ins, and other processes, as if the events originated directly in DevRev.
If this setting is disabled, updates will not trigger any event-driven processes. This behavior applies only to periodic syncs; no events are triggered during a first-time import or manual sync to or from DevRev.
Delete import
This deletes any content created by the import, including users and works.
An import and all the content it creates can be deleted from DevRev. This can be useful when running POCs or to change the recipe used during the import. Once an import has been deleted, all the content it created gets deleted, even if they were modified in DevRev. It's possible to import the project again after its deletion.
To delete an import and all the content it created, go to Settings > Integrations > Airdrops, find the previously imported project, and select ⋮ > Delete Import.
