Run discovery now

--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Reads every module and field of the connection ?connector= names, through its stored grant, and writes a snapshot. Existing annotations are preserved; a field the CRM no longer returns is flagged as removed rather than deleted, so a template that mapped it still explains itself.

This route needs that connection to hold a working grant, because it runs with no browser present. It is not the only way to discover: connecting a CRM (POST /auth/orgs/{org}/connect) reads it with the token Zoho issues on the way through, which is how a new connection is discovered at all.

org
required

The organisation id the session was issued for. A token for one organisation can never read another.

string
Example
org_9f3c

The organisation id the session was issued for. A token for one organisation can never read another.

connector

The connection this is about, by id: one of the organisation’s, or your own. REQUIRED: absent or empty is 400 CONNECTION_REQUIRED, listing the connections this bearer may name, because nothing picks one for a request that does not say (design §14.8). Any other — another organisation’s, or another person’s — is 404 CONNECTION_NOT_FOUND.

string
Example
con_8f2a

The connection this is about, by id: one of the organisation’s, or your own. REQUIRED: absent or empty is 400 CONNECTION_REQUIRED, listing the connections this bearer may name, because nothing picks one for a request that does not say (design §14.8). Any other — another organisation’s, or another person’s — is 404 CONNECTION_NOT_FOUND.

The snapshot that was written, and how it differs from the one before it.

The request named no connection (code: CONNECTION_REQUIRED, with connections: the ones this bearer may name). Nothing picks one for a request that does not say (design §14.8).

No bearer, or one that no longer resolves: a session that is unknown or expired (code: AUTH_REQUIRED), or an API token that was revoked or expired (TOKEN_REVOKED, TOKEN_EXPIRED), whose organisation is gone (ORG_NOT_FOUND) or whose member or user row is (MEMBERSHIP_GONE).

The bearer’s role is too low (code: ROLE_REQUIRED), or it was issued for a different organisation; the organisation has been closed (code: ORG_CLOSED, either kind of bearer); the person is banned (code: BANNED, a session); or it is a session that is signed in but in no organisation (code: NO_ORG): one that never joined one, or whose person was taken out of the one it was in, or left it. Signing in again changes nothing for NO_ORG; choosing or making an organisation does.

The connection holds no working grant — disconnected, or Zoho stopped honouring it — so there is nothing to read with. Reconnecting it reads the CRM straight away.

Zoho is throttling how often this connection’s access is renewed — ten tokens from one grant in ten minutes — so the CRM was not asked (code: CONNECTION_THROTTLED). Retry-After says when to ask again; the connection is kept.

The CRM could not be read (code: DISCOVERY_FAILED); the message says why, bounded to 500 characters. Or: Zoho could not renew the connection’s access — it did not answer, or it refused Sloose’s own client — so the CRM was not asked (code: CONNECTION_UNAVAILABLE). The connection is kept.

The restore switch is on (code: MAINTENANCE): every route but /health and /robots.txt is refused before anything is read, except the operator’s own POST /staff/people/{id}/delete with the ADMIN_TOKEN. Sloose is down for maintenance. Please try again in a few minutes.
