Sales teams can track payment status and trigger workflow rules based on financial events without leaving CRM.

Multi-LLM Zia in CRM Record Assistant

Zoho CRM now lets you configure multiple LLMs at once and switch between them inside the Zia Record Assistant using a dropdown. Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or other models via API key. Zoho’s hosted model remains the default. Users pick the model that works best for each task without leaving the CRM record.

Avalara remains available for businesses with advanced compliance needs.

Zia Agents as Digital Employees in CRM

Administrators now have the capability to deploy Zia Agents, functioning as digital employees within the system, complete with the ability to assign specific roles and permissions to these agents. It’s important to note, however, that the implementation of this feature is currently restricted to organizations utilizing standalone CRM plans.

AI Tools Control Zoho Workspace via MCP

Zoho Cliq now connects directly to any MCP-compatible AI agent, including Claude, Cursor and Windsurf.

If your team is building AI-assisted workflows, this changes how Zoho fits into the stack.

BYO-key AI in Zoho Creator apps

Zoho Creator’s Developer Console now includes a Zia AI section that lets developers integrate external AI providers; OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, directly into custom business applications using a bring-your-own-key model. Zoho GenAI is included at no additional cost as the default. For businesses that have built custom workflows or portals on Creator, this means enterprise-grade AI can now be embedded into those apps without switching platforms or rebuilding from scratch.

FSM Job Costing: profit per job

Zoho FSM has launched Job Costing, which pulls technician timesheet hours, travel costs, and parts line items together to calculate total job cost and net profit directly inside each Work Order. For businesses running field operations — maintenance, installations, repairs — this means you no longer need a separate spreadsheet to know whether a job made or lost money. It also gives management the data needed to reprice services and identify where margins are being lost.

Running field operations and still tracking profit in spreadsheets? We turn on FSM Job Costing, map your labour rates and parts catalogue, and surface margin per job.

February 2026 updates

FEBRUARY 2026

Custom Visualizations and Drill Actions arrive in Analytics

Zoho Analytics shipped Custom Visualizations and Drill Actions in its February 2026 release. Custom Visualizations lets teams go beyond the built-in chart library and bring in third-party JavaScript libraries or custom scripts for industry-specific diagrams, specialised plots, or non-standard visual formats. Drill Actions lets users open records, create entries, update information, or trigger workflows directly from a report without switching contexts. The same release added Databridge Sharing for collaborative data pipeline management and multiple import schedules for Elasticsearch, Data Lakes, and OData sources.

Link to the Full Story

Hit the wall of what built-in Zoho Analytics charts can show? We plug in custom JS visualisations for the views your business actually needs, then wire Drill Actions so reports trigger real work, not just conversations.

FEBRUARY 2026

Zia writes Zoho CRM formula fields from plain English

Zoho CRM introduced the Zia Formula Expression Generator as part of its Q1 2026 update. Instead of memorising function syntax, field API names, and bracket placement, users describe the formula they need in plain language and Zia builds the entire expression. Admins and ops staff can then review, tweak, and drop it into the formula field. It is aimed at every CRM team that has ever lost an hour chasing a missing parenthesis or the wrong field reference.

Link to the Full Story

Have a long list of CRM formula and rollup ideas that never quite get built? We use Zia Formula Expression Generator to ship them fast, validate against your data model, and document each one so your team actually uses them.

FEBRUARY 2026

AI bank reconciliation auto-fills categories and vendors

Zoho Books rolled out AI-powered bank reconciliation in February 2026. Earlier, transaction dates and amounts were prefilled but users still had to manually enter categories, accounts, and vendors. With AI Field Prediction, Books now auto-suggests these values based on past transaction behaviour, and falls back to bank statement context when historical data is thin. The release also added a running balance on bank statement transactions to help spot discrepancies faster, plus user-level bank account segmentation for tighter access control.

Still doing month-end bank matching line by line in Zoho Books? We enable AI Field Prediction, tune category mappings to your chart of accounts, and set up the access controls so your close runs faster with fewer hands on it.

January 2026 updates

JANUARY 2026

Corporation Tax and Final Accounts ship for UK Zoho Books

Zoho Books rolled out Corporation Tax and Final Accounts support for the UK edition in January 2026. Limited companies can now calculate corporation tax liability from existing transactions and generate Final Accounts plus the Corporation Tax return in the format required for submission to HMRC and Companies House. It is aimed at UK businesses that want year-end compliance handled inside the accounting platform rather than passed to external tax software.

Link to the Full Story

Running a UK limited company on Zoho Books and want corp tax and Final Accounts handled in one place? We configure the calculation, validate CT600 output against your ledger, and set up the HMRC submission flow so year-end stops being a fire drill.

JANUARY 2026

E-file Form 1099 directly to the IRS from Zoho Books

Zoho Books added direct Form 1099 e-filing to the IRS in its January 2026 release for the US edition. When creating or editing a vendor, users can flag them with Track payments made to this vendor for filing Form 1099. Books then auto-tracks every payment, generates the 1099 from existing vendor and payment data, and lets users review reported amounts and federal/state categorisations before submitting electronically to the IRS.

Dreading 1099 season in Zoho Books? We configure vendor tracking, validate your payment categorisations, and walk your team through the first filing so January closes clean.

Zoho CRM gets structured address fields built in

Zoho CRM introduced a new structured address field type in January 2026. Instead of stitching together multiple text fields or relying on freeform entries, users now capture address data in a single field with proper structure underneath. The new field type rolled out first to Indian DC users on Professional edition, with broader DC rollouts continuing through March 2026.

Link to the Full Story

Tired of bad address data breaking your routing, territory rules, or mailings? We migrate your CRM to the new structured address field, clean up the existing records, and re-wire any automation that depends on location data.

Ask Zia now Exports, Shares, and Schedules in Analytics

Zoho Analytics extended Ask Zia with new actions in December 2025. Users running Zoho’s hosted LLM can now Export, Share, and Schedule reports directly through natural-language prompts, capabilities that were previously limited to OpenAI-backed setups. The release also added Multi-Table Auto Analysis on star-schema models, Live Connect for Databricks and ClickHouse, and an NPM-installable Analytics MCP server.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax lands in Books

Zoho Books added Making Tax Digital for Income Tax support for UK sole traders in its November 2025 release. Users can keep digital records of business income and expenses, connect their organisation to HMRC, and see submission obligations and quarterly deadlines surfaced directly in Books. It is built for self-employed people with qualifying income who need to file every three months instead of once a year.
