Note:

Each time the zoho.writer.getMergeTemplates integration task is executed, it triggers an API request in the back-end. This call is deducted from the external calls limit available for the service from which the task is executed, based on your pricing plan.
Only actual executions that receive a response (whether success or failure) are counted, not the number of times the task appears in the script. For example, if zoho.writer.getMergeTemplates integration task is placed inside a for each task that iterates five times, the number of external calls consumed will be five, even though the task appears only once in the script.

Description

The zoho.writer.getMergeTemplates task lists all the merge templates created by the user. This task is based on the Zoho Writer Get Merge Templates API.

Note: Applicable to all services except Zoho Creator.
