The CRM Zen Show Episode 222 – Night Of the Living Text

Zoho News

Implementation of the Week

  • Zoho Books to Stripe POS Integration
    • In this implementation, our goal was to enable our Customer to collect payment for a Zoho Books Invoice on the fly using a Stripe Credit Card Reader
    • To accomplish this, we added a custom button to the Invoice view page within Books. Pressing this button organizes the Invoice information and writes it to the Stripe API. This data includes metadata about the Books Invoice and Customer
    • After the card is successfully charged, Stripe posts data back to Zoho using a webhook to Zoho Flow. This data includes the Invoice and Customer ID from Zoho Books, so we are able to properly create a Payment record in Books for the specific Invoice that was paid

Code Share of the Week

  • Encoding a JSON Map for API calls
    • Most of the time, you can pass in a map to the body of an API call using the “parameters” argument in the Deluge invokeUrl task. 
    • However, sometimes an API doesn’t like how Deluge encodes its JSON objects. In those instances, you can encode your parameters and add them directly into the URL as a query parameter. 
    • Included is a code snippet that will covert your map into an encoded string you can attach to your API request.

This Week’s Read
