Write and Modify Data Records

Start by calling `get_form_fields` to understand the structure of a form. Then, use that knowledge to write code that calls `add_record` or `update_record`. You can build full components based on these API interactions.

List and Analyze App Structure

Need an inventory? Cline lets you run commands like `list_applications` to see every app in your Zoho Creator setup. It also reveals all available reports by calling `list_app_reports`, which is perfect for generating data models.

Retrieve and Manipulate App Data

Cline executes code that calls `get_record_details` to pull a single record's information. Alternatively, you can fetch batches of records from reports using `get_report_records`, letting you write complex data processing logic right in your environment.
