Setup

1. Install Requirements

• PHP 8.0+
• cURL extension

2. Configure Environment

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Zoho credentials

3. Register Zoho Application

1. Visit Zoho API Console
2. Create a new client
3. Select "Server-based Application"
4. Add your redirect URI
5. Copy Client ID and Client Secret to .env

4. Authenticate

# Generate authorization URL
php scripts/authenticate.php --service=projects

# Visit the URL, authorize, then exchange the code:
php scripts/authenticate.php --service=projects --code=YOUR_CODE

5. Run Export

# Manual export
php scripts/export_projects.php

# Include task details
php scripts/export_projects.php --include-tasks

# Export as CSV
php scripts/export_projects.php --format=csv

6. Setup Cron (Optional)

# Edit the cron script path
nano cron/hourly_export.sh

# Add to crontab (runs every hour)
crontab -e
# Add: 0 * * * * /path/to/cron/hourly_export.sh

Adding New Zoho Services

1. Add service config in config/config.php:

'desk' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'api_base' => 'https://desk.zoho.com/api/v1',
    'scopes' => 'ZohoDesk.tickets.READ',
],

2. Create service class implementing ZohoServiceInterface:

class DeskService implements ZohoServiceInterface
{
    // Implement required methods
}

3. Create export script for the service

Configuration

Edit config/config.php to customize:

• API domains (for EU/US data centers)
• OAuth scopes
• Export formats and locations
• Log levels

Troubleshooting

Token expired errors: Re-run authentication script

401 Unauthorized: Check OAuth scopes in config

Export directory not writable: chmod 755 storage/exports
