Zoho Projects Make integrationAutomate Zoho Projects with Make.
What could your projects run on their own if tasks, bugs and time logs moved by themselves? The Zoho Projects Make integration gives you 52 modules to watch, create and update project data. This guide connects your account, builds a first scenario and explains every module.

What does the Zoho Projects Make integration do?
The Zoho Projects Make integration links your Zoho Projects account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself, a chain of modules). Make can spot new projects, tasks, bugs or time logs, then create, update, fetch or delete items in your portal and pass the data to your other apps.
Every new project starts with the same skeleton. Watch Projects picks up the project, Create Tasklist adds the standard list and Create Milestone places the kickoff date. Nobody rebuilds the structure by hand, and the first scenario below walks through exactly this flow.
Bugs from other tools land in the right place. When an issue shows up in a support or developer tool, Create Bug files it in the matching project, and Update Bug keeps its status aligned afterwards. Watch Bugs works the other way, sending each new bug to a chat channel or a spreadsheet.
Hours feed your billing. Watch Time Logs sees each new entry and hands it to your invoicing or reporting app, while List Time Logs gathers every entry of a project when you need a full recap.
The Make documentation lists these modules flat, with no groups and no published limits, so the notes below stick to what each module does. If an endpoint has no dedicated module, Make an API Call covers it with the same connection. The same app also has an n8n node: the n8n vs Make comparison lays out both tools, and our Make review and Make training help you go further.
How do you connect Zoho Projects to Make?
- 01
Add a Zoho Projects module
Log in to Make, open your scenario and add any Zoho Projects module. You need an active Zoho Projects or Zoho BugTracker account; Make then asks for a connection, meaning your account linked to Make once and reused by every module.
- 02
Create the connection
Click Create a connection. Give it a clear label in Connection name if you manage several portals. The Advanced settings switch is optional and only needed if you bring your own client credentials.
- 03
Save and authorize
Click Save. If Zoho asks you to sign in and confirm access, accept it. Back in Make, the module can now list the projects and objects your account can read.
Your first scenario: set up every new project automatically
GoalWhen a new project is created in Zoho Projects, Make adds a tasklist and a kickoff milestone to it.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Search for Zoho Projects and pick Watch Projects.
- 02
Connect and set the trigger
Click Create a connection and authorize your account. Once linked, Make lists what it can read from your portal, so you pick options from menus instead of typing IDs.
- 03
Add the tasklist
Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Create Tasklist. Map the project from the previous module so the list lands in the project that was just created.
- 04
Add the kickoff milestone
Add Create Milestone after it and map the same project. Each project that arrives as a bundle, one item passed from module to module, now gets its list and its milestone.
- 05
Test with Run once
Create a test project in Zoho Projects, then click Run once. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles it received and check the tasklist and milestone in Zoho.
- 06
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on the first module: a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, 15 minutes being the floor on the Free plan. Keep or change the interval, then switch the scenario on.
What can start a Zoho Projects scenario?
7 modules start a scenario when something happens in Zoho Projects. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Zoho Projects as soon as it happens.
Watch Bugs
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new bug/issue is created.”
Watch Bugs hands your scenario every newly reported bug or issue, so a defect never waits unseen in a project until someone opens the tracker.
Watch Documents
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new document is added.”
Every file added to a project reaches your scenario through Watch Documents, which lets you archive, share or announce documents without checking folders by hand.
Watch Milestones
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new milestone is created.”
You get each new milestone the moment Make next checks, handy for keeping calendars, roadmaps or client updates aligned with the dates your project managers set.
Watch Projects
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new project is created.”
Watch Projects starts your scenario whenever a new project appears in the portal, which is the natural entry point for setting up structure, folders or records elsewhere.
Watch Tasklists
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new tasklist is created.”
New tasklists flow into your scenario one bundle at a time, so a fresh phase of work can trigger its own setup without anyone copying things over.
Watch Tasks
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a task is created.”
Each task created in a project arrives in Make, ready to notify, copy or enrich wherever your team actually works.
Watch Time Logs
Scheduled triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new time log is created.”
Logged hours become data you can bill or report on: Watch Time Logs sends each new time entry to the next module each time Make checks.
What can Make do in Zoho Projects?
Zoho Projects gives you 45 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Add Document
ActionIn Make“Adds a document in the folder.”
Add Document places a file in a folder of your project, so contracts, briefs or exports produced elsewhere end up next to the work they belong to.
Add Forum Category
ActionIn Make“Adds the forum category.”
With Add Forum Category you create a new category in a project's forums, which keeps discussions sorted before people start posting in them.
Create Bug
ActionIn Make“Creates a bug in the given project.”
Create Bug files a new bug or issue in the project you choose, turning reports that start in other tools into items your team can track in Zoho.
Create Event
ActionIn Make“Creates an event in the given project.”
Need a meeting or deadline on the project calendar without opening Zoho? Create Event adds that event to the project you pick, with the details mapped from earlier modules.
Create Forum
ActionIn Make“Creates a forum in the given project.”
This action opens a new forum discussion inside a project, which gives an automated announcement or recap a place where the team can reply.
Create Milestone
ActionIn Make“Creates a new milestone in the given project.”
Create Milestone puts a new milestone into the given project, so key dates exist in Zoho as soon as a deal, contract or brief confirms them.
Create Project
ActionIn Make“Creates a new project.”
A won deal or signed order can open its own project with Create Project, so delivery starts without anyone creating the workspace by hand.
Create Subtask
ActionIn Make“Creates the subtask in the given project.”
Create Subtask breaks an existing task into smaller steps, attaching each subtask to its parent so the checklist stays in one place inside the project.
Create Task
ActionIn Make“Creates a new task in the given project.”
The workhorse of the app: Create Task adds a new task to the project you choose, filled with data from a form, an email or another tool.
Create Tasklist
ActionIn Make“Creates a new tasklist in the given project.”
Your project gets a new tasklist in one step, so each phase or sprint has its container before tasks start flowing in from other scenarios.
Create Time Log
ActionIn Make“Creates the time log to a task.”
Create Time Log records hours against a task, so time tracked in another app or captured by a form ends up in Zoho Projects timesheets.
Delete Bug
ActionIn Make“Delete a bug in the given project.”
Delete Bug removes a bug from the given project, useful to clear out test entries or duplicates that another scenario created by mistake.
Delete Document
ActionIn Make“Deletes the document.”
When a file should no longer sit in a project, Delete Document takes it out, keeping folders tidy after a newer version has been added.
Delete Event
ActionIn Make“Deletes an event in the given project.”
Delete Event takes an event off a project's calendar, so cancellations made elsewhere do not leave ghost meetings for your team.
Delete Forum
ActionIn Make“Deletes a forum in the given project.”
This module removes a forum discussion from the project, handy when an automated announcement was posted by mistake or is no longer relevant.
Delete Milestone
ActionIn Make“Deletes the milestone in the given project.”
Delete Milestone clears a milestone from the given project, for dates that no longer exist once a contract or phase has been cancelled.
Delete Project
ActionIn Make“Deletes the project.”
Delete Project removes an entire project from the portal, which is the heaviest action in this app and belongs in carefully tested scenarios only.
Delete Task
ActionIn Make“Deletes the tasks in the given project.”
Tasks that should not exist anymore can be removed with Delete Task, which acts inside the project you specify.
Delete Tasklist
ActionIn Make“Deletes the tasklist in the given project.”
Delete Tasklist drops a whole tasklist from the given project, for phases that were planned automatically and later cancelled.
Get Bug
ActionIn Make“Gets the details of the bug.”
Get Bug returns the full details of one bug, which you need when a trigger or a search only hands you its ID and you want the rest.
Get Document
ActionIn Make“Fetches the details of the document.”
This module fetches the details of a single document, so the next steps know what the file is before sharing, moving or deleting it.
Get Forum
ActionIn Make“Gets the details of a forum.”
Get Forum reads the details of one forum discussion, useful to reuse its content or check it before an update or a deletion.
Get Milestone
ActionIn Make“Gets all the details of the milestone.”
Get Milestone brings back every detail of one milestone, so a scenario can compare its current state with what a client report or calendar shows.
Get Project
ActionIn Make“Lists all the details of the project.”
All the details of one project come back with Get Project, giving later modules the information that a simple project ID does not carry.
Get Task
ActionIn Make“Gets all the details for the task.”
Get Task returns all the details of one task, handy when a scenario has to decide what to do based on the task's current state.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Zoho Projects API with the connection you already set up, for everything the listed modules leave out.
Reorder Task
ActionIn Make“Reorders the tasks in the given project.”
Reorder Task changes the order of tasks in the given project, so priorities set elsewhere show up in the sequence your team reads in Zoho.
Update Bug
ActionIn Make“Updates a bug in the given project.”
With Update Bug you change an existing bug in the given project, keeping its status or details aligned with what happens in another tracker.
Update Event
ActionIn Make“Update an event in the given project.”
Update Event edits an event already on a project's calendar, so rescheduled meetings stay correct without anyone fixing them in Zoho.
Update Forum
ActionIn Make“Updates a forum in the given project.”
This action edits a forum discussion already posted in the project, for corrections or new information added to an automated announcement.
Update Milestone
ActionIn Make“Updates the milestone int the given project.”
Update Milestone changes a milestone in the given project, so a new deadline agreed with a client reaches Zoho without manual edits.
Update Project
ActionIn Make“Updates the project.”
Update Project edits an existing project, keeping its information in step with the deal, contract or client record it came from.
Update Task
ActionIn Make“Updates the task in the given project.”
Update Task changes an existing task in the given project, the right choice to move work forward without deleting its history.
Update Tasklist
ActionIn Make“Updates the tasklist in the given project.”
Update Tasklist edits a tasklist in the given project, so a renamed phase or a shifted plan is reflected where the team organizes its tasks.
List Bugs
SearchIn Make“Lists all the bugs in the given project.”
List Bugs returns the bugs of a given project as separate bundles, one per bug, ready to be counted, filtered or copied elsewhere.
List Documents
SearchIn Make“Lists all the documents in the given project.”
Every document of a project comes back through List Documents, one bundle per file, so you can back them up or build an index.
List Events
SearchIn Make“Lists all the events in the given project.”
List Events gathers the events of a given project, which lets you rebuild a calendar view or find the event you want to update.
List Forums
SearchIn Make“Lists all the forums in the given project.”
List Forums returns the forum discussions of a given project, useful to find a thread before reading, editing or removing it.
List Milestones
SearchIn Make“Gets all the milestones in the given project.”
This search collects all the milestones of a given project, the easiest way to publish a timeline or check dates against a client plan.
List Project Activities
SearchIn Make“Lists all the recent activities of the project.”
List Project Activities returns the recent activity of a project, a quick way to see what changed without opening Zoho.
List Projects
SearchIn Make“Gets all the projects in the portal for the logged in user.”
List Projects hands you every project the connected user can see in the portal, each as its own bundle (one item passing through the scenario), so you get the full picture without opening them one by one.
List Subtasks
SearchIn Make“Lists all the subtasks of the given task.”
List Subtasks brings back the subtasks hanging under one task you point it to, so the steps inside a larger piece of work become usable data in your scenario.
List Tasklists
SearchIn Make“Gets all the tasklists in the given project.”
List Tasklists returns the tasklists (the groups that organize tasks) of a chosen project, which shows how that project is structured before you add or move anything.
List Tasks
SearchIn Make“Gets all the tasks in the given project. It fetches only the main tasks and not the subtasks.”
With List Tasks, the main tasks of one project arrive in Make as separate bundles, ready to be filtered, counted or sent to another tool such as a spreadsheet or a chat app.
List Time Logs
SearchIn Make“Lists all the time logs in the given project.”
List Time Logs collects the time logs recorded in a given project, turning the hours your team entered into data you can total, check or pass on to billing.
