Get All Datalinks - Zoho Show

Note:

  • This task is applicable to all services except Zoho Creator.
  • Each time the zoho.show.getAllDataLinks integration task is executed, it triggers an API request in the back-end. This call is deducted from the external calls limit available for the service from which the task is executed, based on your pricing plan.
  • Only actual executions that receive a response (whether success or failure) are counted, not the number of times the task appears in the script. For example, if zoho.show.getAllDataLinks integration task is placed inside a for each task that iterates five times, the number of external calls consumed will be five, even though the task appears only once in the script.
