Zoho Flow Connector for Moodle

Plugin type: Local plugin
Component name: local_zohoflow
Moodle versions supported: 4.0 and above

Overview

The Zoho Flow Connector for Moodle plugin connects your Moodle site with Zoho Flow, a powerful no-code integration platform that lets you automate workflows across hundreds of applications — all without writing any code.

The plugin sends major Moodle events - including user creation, enrolment updates, course changes, completions, login activity, and grading events — as triggers to Zoho Flow. These triggers can instantly update CRMs, send notifications, sync data, or connect to any supported application.

It also enables inbound actions, allowing Zoho Flow to add or update users, manage enrolments, and retrieve user details in Moodle. With Zoho Flow’s drag-and-drop builder, logic controls, and extensive app ecosystem, this plugin adds a flexible no-code automation layer to your Moodle environment.
