# How to Register a Zoho Developer App and Get OAUTH2 Credentials
------
_August 23, 2024_

Zoho has many applications that we support integrations with; ZohoCRM, ZohoBooks, ZohoPeople, and ZohoRecruit. If you are a developer who wants to build data integrations for your SaaS software with any of the Zoho product suite, you will need to register a developer app and get credentials from Zoho.


In this article, I will show you how to do that in a few simple steps.


## Step 1: Create a Zoho Developer Account


The first step is to create a Zoho Developer account, if you don't have one already. You can sign up for free at [https://developer.zoho.com/signup](https://developer.zoho.com/signup).


Once you have created your account, you will be able to access the Zoho Developer Console, where you can manage your apps and credentials.


## Step 2: Register a Zoho Developer App


The next step is to register a Zoho developer app, which will allow you to access the Zoho API and data. To do that, follow these steps:

- Go to the [Zoho Developer Console](https://api-console.zoho.com/) and click on the "Add App" button.
- Choose "Server-Based" as the Client Type and click on "Create".
- Enter a name and a homepage for your app
- For your Authorized redirect URI, enter in [`https://api.unified.to/oauth/code`](https://api.unified.to/oauth/code) or `https://api-eu.unified.to/oauth/code`
- Click on "Create".
- You will see a confirmation message and a client ID and a client secret for your app. Copy and save them somewhere safe, as you will need them later.

Congratulations! You have successfully registered a Zoho developer app and got credentials. You can now use them to access the Zoho API and data from your SaaS software.


## Step 3: Activate your Zoho Apps in [Unified.to](https://unified.to/)

1. Navigate to [Active Integrations](https://app.unified.to/integrations)
2. Search for ZohoCRM, ZohoBooks, ZohoPeople, or ZohoRecruit
3. Click on the integration
4. Enter in the information from the previous step (client ID, secret)
5. Click on Activate
