Create cash flow records from sent invoices for forecasting

Automatically monitor new sent invoices across Zoho Books and Tidely. Create and update invoice records in Tidely when sent invoices appear or invoice totals change or invoice references arriveβ€”so you can import receivables, refresh forecasting records, and keep open status without manual data entry.

How this automation updates your forecast records

When sent invoices remain unimported, receivables lag and forecasting becomes unreliable. This automation monitors Zoho Books for new sent invoices, transforms invoice fields, and imports them into Tidelyβ€”so your team can forecast with current open invoices.

  1. 1.Detect new sent invoice

    Integrate Zoho Books and accounting tools to watch for invoices in sent status and trigger record creation for forecasting.
