Zoho books

Zoho books MCP integration

Checks invoices and recorded payments, re-sends invoice emails and overdue reminders, and applies credit notes while the customer is still in the chat.

265actions available

Three actions you can hand over today

Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.

  • Create customer payment refund

    Lyro reverses an overpaid invoice for a customer, instantly updating their account balance and processing the refund to their original payment method. The transaction is logged for audit and the customer sees the credit immediately.

  • Send contact email

    Lyro composes and sends a professional email directly to a customer contact without leaving Zoho Books, keeping all communication in one searchable thread. No external tools needed.

  • Apply credit note to invoice

    Lyro matches available credit against an unpaid invoice, reducing the customer's balance in a single action. Both team and customer records reflect the applied credit instantly.

How businesses use Zoho books + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Zoho books actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Answer a billing question from the ledger

    Lyro finds the contact, lists the invoices open against them, and reads back the payments already applied, so a customer asking whether their transfer landed gets the recorded answer rather than a callback.

  • Turn an accepted quote into an invoice

    When a customer accepts an estimate mid-conversation, Lyro marks it accepted, raises the invoice from the resulting sales order, and emails it out without waiting on the finance queue.

  • Chase what is overdue and close what is not collectable

    Lyro sends a reminder on a single late invoice or a whole batch of them, applies the credit note that was agreed on the call, and writes off the balance finance has already given up on.

  • Reconcile a payment the customer says they made

    Lyro imports the latest bank statement, pulls the transactions matching the amount and date the customer gave, and categorises the uncategorised one so the payment stops reading as missing.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Zoho books actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Zoho books

    Authorize the Zoho books account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Zoho books actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Zoho books

Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Zoho books.

  • Yes. Every record in Zoho Books belongs to one organisation, and List Organizations and Get Organization return the ones the connected account can see, so a lookup is pinned to the right set of books rather than searched across all of them.
