Post messages, manage channels, teams, reminders and files in Zoho Cliq, across every Zoho data centre.
Zoho Cliq ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 32 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.zoho-cliqZoho Cliq is Zoho’s team chat. This app puts it into a workflow: post messages to channels, group chats, bots and individual users (with replies and bot identities), edit and delete messages, read chat history, create and manage channels and their members, look up users and teams, share files, and create and complete reminders.
Zoho hosts every organization in one of nine regional data centres, each with its own Cliq API host and its own OAuth accounts host, so each region gets its own connection method rather than one that could silently send an EU organization’s requests through the US region. Canada is the one region where BOTH hosts break the naming pattern (cliq.zohocloud.ca, accounts.zohocloud.ca), and this app points at the real hosts.
Organization-level APIs only: Cliq network (external collaboration) endpoints, events/calendars, user and role administration, databases, custom domain/email, extensions and the CSV maintenance exports are deliberately left out.
Three routes to the same 32 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Zoho Cliq's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
channel-list List channels in the organization, filtered by name, status, level or membership.
channel-member-add Add users to a channel by user id or email address (max 100 per call).
channel-member-remove Remove users from a channel by user id or email address (max 100 per call).
channel-update Rename a channel, change its description or its configuration settings.
chat-list List direct, group and bot chats (not channels — use List Channels). Page backwards with 'Modified before'.
file-share-channel Upload a file into a channel by channel id or unique name, optionally as a bot.
file-share-user Send a file to a user as a direct message, by email address or Zoho user id.
message-post-bot Send a message to a bot's subscribers (or to chosen subscribers) as that bot.
message-post-channel Post a message to a channel by channel id or unique name, optionally as a bot or as a reply.
message-post-chat Post a message to a chat (group chat, direct chat or thread) by chat id.
message-post-user Send a direct message to a user by email address or Zoho user id (zuid).
reminder-create Create a reminder for yourself, for up to 4 other users, for a chat/channel, or on a message.
reminder-list List reminders in a category (mine, mine-completed, others, others-completed).
user-list List the users in the Zoho Cliq organization, optionally searched by name or email.
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying Zoho Cliq's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Zoho Cliq, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to Zoho Cliq. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.zoho-cliq#channel-create",
"input": {
"name": "<name>",
"level": "<level>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's Zoho Cliq connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
Zoho Cliq's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Zoho Cliq itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
Zoho Cliq declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
