# Zoho CRM

Zoho CRM allows access to its services using OAuth, which is a way to authenticate Zoho users on other websites. This allows Zoho users to integrate and perform automated tasks on their account using the iMBrace platform.

To begin, you will need:

* A Zoho CRM account.

**STEP 1:** Go to the **Zoho API Console** (<https://api-console.zoho.com/>).

**STEP 2:** Go to **\[Get Started] > \[Server-based Applications]**.

**STEP 3:** In iMBrace, create a new credential of type **Zoho OAuth2 API** and identify the **OAuth redirect URL**.

**STEP 4:** In the Zoho Console, create a new client by entering the necessary information. Enter the redirect URL from iMBrace under **Authorized redirect URLs**.
