Zoho People AI Agent Actions
73 production-ready actions for your agent to do more on Zoho People.
73 Actions
Check In - Record an attendance check-in for a specific employee at a given time, with optional location tracking via map configuration
Check Out - Record an attendance check-out for an employee to complete the daily work hours entry, requiring a prior check-in
Single Attendance Record - User Report - Get a day-by-day attendance SUMMARY report for ONE employee over a date range (status, total hours, overtime, deviation). For raw punch entries use get_attendance_entries; for all employees use get_multiple_attendance_report
Multiple Attendance Records - User Report - Get a day-by-day attendance report for ALL employees ORGANIZATION-WIDE (100 per page) over a date range. Cannot be scoped to a department or employee list -- filter results client-side. For one employee use get_single_attendance_report
Get Attendance Entries - Retrieve RAW check-in/check-out punch entries (timestamps, locations) for a specific date, optionally for one employee. The canonical action when a task asks for attendance ENTRIES; for day-level summary reports use the report actions
Get Employee Shift Details - Retrieve shift configuration details of an employee for a given date range, including shift timings, holidays, and weekends
Bulk Import Attendance - Import attendance check-in and check-out records for multiple employees in a single batch API call
Fetch Latest Attendance Entries - Fetch attendance entries added or updated within the last N minutes, including regularisation entries. The canonical action for recent/latest attendance changes -- prefer over get_attendance_entries or get_records for recency-based queries
Update Employee Shift - Map or update the shift assigned to an employee for a specified date range
Get Regularization Records - Fetch attendance regularization request records within a date range, optionally filtered by employee or fetched by record ID
List Requested Cases - Retrieve HR cases that the authenticated user personally submitted (requested), with optional status filtering. Does NOT return cases assigned to you -- use get_my_cases for that
List My Assigned Cases - Retrieve HR cases where the authenticated user is the ASSIGNED AGENT (responsible for resolving), with optional filtering by status, search query, requestor, and time period. Does NOT return cases you submitted -- use get_requested_cases for that
List Unassigned Cases - Retrieve HR cases that have NO assigned agent (unassigned queue). Use this to find cases waiting for someone to pick them up
List Open Cases - Retrieve HR cases in an OPEN state that are relevant to the authenticated user (combines submitted and assigned). Broader than get_my_cases or get_requested_cases
List All Cases - Retrieve ALL HR cases across the entire organization regardless of who submitted or is assigned, with full filtering by status, category, search query, requestor, and time period
View Case - Retrieve full details of a specific HR case by its record ID, including status, category, comments, and resolution information
Create Case - Submit a new HR case with a category, subject, and optional description for employee service requests
List Case Categories - Retrieve all HR case categories configured in the organization, providing category IDs needed for creating new cases
List Clients - Retrieve a paginated list of all clients configured in the time tracker module
Get Client Details - Retrieve full details of a specific client by its ID, including optional record deletion permission info
Add Client - Create a new client in the time tracker module with name, currency, and optional contact details, address, industry classification, and billing configuration
Modify Client - Modify an existing client's name, contact details, address, industry classification, currency, or billing configuration
Delete Client - Delete one or more clients from the time tracker module by their IDs
Add Employee - Add a new employee to Zoho People with required fields (EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, EmailID) and optional profile/direct-add settings
Update Employee - Modify an existing employee's field values by record ID
Fetch Forms - Retrieve all system and custom forms configured in the Zoho People account, including their metadata and view details
Get Fields Of Form - Retrieve the field schema (labelnames, types, mandatory flags, picklist values) of a form. Needed ONLY before insert_record/update_record when field labelnames are unknown -- never required for read-only retrieval or report actions
Get Records - Retrieve paginated raw records from a Zoho People FORM VIEW (viewName like P_EmployeeView) -- a GENERIC fallback. Use the specialized action instead when one exists (leave balances/types, attendance, timesheets, job schedules)
Fetch Single Record - Fetch ONE record with all field values by formLinkName + recordId. Use when you already have a recordId (from get_records, get_bulk_records, or insert_record) and need that record's full detail -- not for listing or searching records
Insert Record - Insert a new record into any Zoho People form by providing form-specific field values as a JSON-encoded string
Update Record - Modify field values of a specified record in any Zoho People form
Default And Custom View - List all view names and IDs across Zoho People forms -- a discovery step needed ONLY as a prerequisite to get_records. Skip it when a specialized action covers the task (leave, attendance, and timesheet actions need no view names)
Get Bulk Records - Retrieve all records from a Zoho People FORM (using formLinkName like "employee"), grouped by section. Use get_records instead if you have a viewName; prefer specialized leave/attendance/timesheet actions when one covers the task
List Jobs - Retrieve jobs assigned to a specific employee with optional filtering by assigner, status, project, and client
Add Job - Create a new job in the time tracker module with name, dates, project assignment, and assignee configuration

Add Job Schedule - Create a NEW job schedule entry for a specific job, date, and time range, with optional repeat configuration. Does NOT publish existing entries -- when the task is to publish an already-created schedule, use publish_job_schedule
Edit Job Schedule - Modify an existing job schedule entry including date, time, description, repeat settings, and publish status
Delete Job Schedule - Delete a job schedule entry, with optional control over repeat series deletion
Publish Job Schedule - Publish EXISTING (already-created, unpublished) job schedule entries within a date range, making them visible to assigned employees. Does NOT create entries -- use add_job_schedule to create a new schedule
List Leave Types - (DEPRECATION WARNING) Retrieve leave type definitions for a specific employee, including type IDs, names, balance, and paid/unpaid classification. The only source of leave type IDs -- prefer over get_records or get_fields_of_form
List Leave Records - Retrieve leave request records within a mandatory date range, with optional filtering by employee, approval status, leave type, and data scope. Prefer this over get_records (P_ApplyLeaveView) for listing leave requests
Get User Report - Retrieve the current-leave-year balance summary for ONE employee. NOT for multi-employee, department, or booked-vs-balance reports over a custom date range -- use get_leave_booked_and_balance_report for those
Get Leave Booked And Balance Report - Retrieve per-leave-type BOOKED (used) days plus remaining BALANCE for one or more employees over a date range. The canonical leave-balance report -- prefer over get_user_report and get_records for any booked-vs-balance question

Zoho People integration FAQ
Do I need to create my own auth app to connect Zoho People to StackOne?
Yes, you need an auth app inside Zoho. Zoho calls this a "Server-based Application" (created at api-console.zoho.com). Once created with the StackOne redirect URI, paste the Client ID and Secret into the StackOne dashboard auth config for the Zoho People connector. Select your Zoho region at link time. See the Zoho People auth docs.
