| Where | What you need |
| --- | --- |
| In Zoho | A Zoho CRM account (sign-up is free and self-service) with access to **api-console.zoho.com** — normally, the account's own administrator. |
| In Platform | Admin role to connect, activate actions or disconnect. Editor and Viewer roles can only see the connection's status. |

> **Notice — The authorization code expires in 3 minutes**
>
> Unlike HubSpot or Brevo, connecting Zoho has a step against the clock: the authorization code Zoho generates expires after **3 minutes by default**. Have the four fields from section 4 ready to paste BEFORE generating the code in Zoho — the recommended order is to complete section 3 all the way through, copy the four values somewhere temporary, and only then open the connection modal in Platform.
