Hi @Anonymous   It seems like the issue might be related to the privacy level settings. When using Web.Contents with anonymous authentication, the privacy level should ideally be set to public to avoid conflicts.

 

 

Hope this helps!!

If this solved your problem, please accept it as a solution and a kudos!!

Hello @shafiz_p Thanks, I have tried by giving public, organization, and private but no luck.

Hi @Anonymous 
Zoho typically requires a dedicated connector or API with appropriate authentication to connect securely. Anonymous connection usually won’t work, as most Zoho services require authentication to access data. You might want to look into using an API key or OAuth authentication for connecting to Zoho People.

For more information please refer + try to get help from zoho support.

Thank you, @Ritaf1983 I am using the Zoho OAuth token only. I have validated it in Postman, and all the data is fetched correctly. The URL, endpoints, and Zoho OAuth token are correct.
