README

Zoho Desk Laravel provides an oauth2 client and sdk for Zoho Desk api.

Requirements

• Laravel 6+
• PHP 7.2.5+

Installation

Install via using composer

composer require ayles-software/laravel-zoho-desk

Setup

Publish the config.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="AylesSoftware\ZohoDesk\ServiceProvider"

You now need to populate the config/zoho-desk.php file with the credentials for your Zoho integration. You can create new API keys here. Add the following variables to your .env file.

ZOHO_DESK_REDIRECT_URL=
ZOHO_DESK_CLIENT_ID=
ZOHO_DESK_CLIENT_SECRET=
ZOHO_DESK_ACCESS_TYPE=
ZOHO_DESK_ORGANISATION_ID=
ZOHO_DESK_BASE_URL=

The config file also contains scopes for Zoho. The access_type=offiline scope is required to obtain a new access token. Access tokens expire after 60 minutes. For more information on scopes try the documentation.

Migrations

This package uses ZohoDeskAccess model to manage access tokens. Run the migration to create this table.

php artisan migrate

OAuth flow

First you must authorize the application, this will require a controller and route to be setup. Once the application has been authorized then access to Zoho is self managed within this package. Once the access token expires, a new one will be request as needed.

ZohoOAuth::class will provide the OAuth flow and regeneration of the access token.

Example of Controller for authorization.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use AylesSoftware\ZohoDesk\ZohoOAuth;

class ZohoOAuthController extends Controller
{
    public function __invoke(ZohoOAuth $zohoOAuth)
    {
        return $zohoOAuth->flow();
    }
}

Usage

use AylesSoftware\ZohoDesk\Facades\ZohoDesk;

# create a ticket
# for more options see https://desk.zoho.com.au/support/APIDocument.do#Tickets#Tickets_Createaticket
$response = ZohoDesk::createTicket([
    'subject' => 'Support message - Test user',
    'description' => 'This is the body of the ticket',
    'departmentId' => '0000000000000000', // this can be found within ZohoDesk
    'email' => 'contact@email.com',
    'contact' => [
        'email' => 'contact@email.com',
        'firstName' => 'Benjamin',
    ],
]);
