How do I list records from a Zoho CRM module?
Short answer: You can list records in Zoho CRM by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Zoho CRM List Records action to a workflow, map its 6 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about List Records.
What does the List Records action do in Zoho CRM?
Lists records from a Zoho CRM module (Leads, Contacts, Deals, Accounts) with pagination. Used for periodic exports or for building module-wide segments.
What inputs does List Records require?
Required: Module. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Zoho CRM returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Zoho CRM returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does List Records support batch operations?
Run List Records inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Zoho CRM's rate limits.
