What can an AI agent do with Zoho Books?

A Zoho Books AI agent can read invoices, expenses, contacts, and financial reports, then surface insights like overdue balances or unusual spending. It can also draft invoices, record expenses, and send payment reminders, all write actions require your explicit approval before anything is saved.

Will my AI agent make changes to my books without asking?

No. Any action that creates or modifies data - such as creating an invoice or recording an expense - is a write action and requires your approval. Read-only actions like fetching reports or listing invoices run without interruption.

Can I schedule the AI agent to run on a recurring basis?

Yes. You can set up a scheduled task to run daily, weekly, or monthly. Common examples include a Monday morning cash flow digest or an end-of-month invoice batch for recurring clients.

Is my financial data stored by the platform?

Financial data is accessed only during task execution and is not stored permanently. Task outputs such as summaries and reports are saved to your run history, but raw invoice or transaction data is not retained.
