url usage:

Zoho Office Integrator allows partners and businesses to save the data filled in the form to their specified storage server through "url" method.

A callback url is a publicly accessible web URL/Service to which Zoho will push the data filled in the form to the partner's server from Writer editor.

In order to use the 'url' method, partners should fulfill the below requirements:

Partner's remote servers need to expose one of their ports - port 443 (https) or port 80 (http) - from their location, for Zoho Writer to push the data back.
The 'url' value specified in the HTTPS/HTTP POST request should be a proper domain name and publicly accessible over the web. Example: https://yourdomain.com/save.php

Response on form submit:

When the form is submitted, we will be pushing back the information with the following key names:

Key Name	Type	Description
data	JSON	The dat filled in the fillable form.
document_info	JSON	The unique id and the display name of the fillable form.
user_info	JSON	The user id and the display name of the user.
