There is one more configuration option for the Zoho module:

By default, this is set to 10 minutes (600000ms). All the Zoho components need a list of available *fields* per each module (contacts, leads). This list of *fields* is defined by the user and their CRM settings. In order to reduce the number of Zoho API requests during the flow design phase (and avoid the possibility of using all API credits), Appmixer the list of fields into a cache. The default TTL on this cache can be changed through the Backoffice.
