Create Record in Zoho Project

Table of Contents

Note:

  • Each time the zoho.projects.create integration task is executed, it triggers an API request in the back-end. This call is deducted from the external calls limit available for the service from which the task is executed, based on your pricing plan.
  • Only actual executions that receive a response (whether success or failure) are counted, not the number of times the task appears in the script. For example, if zoho.projects.create integration task is placed inside a for each task that iterates five times, the number of external calls consumed will be five, even though the task appears only once in the script. 

Description

Note: For security reasons, if you execute Zoho Projects integration tasks for more than 100 times under 2 minutes, you will be restricted to execute any Zoho Projects integration task for the next 30 mins.
