# Zoho Books

Use **Zoho Books** from your AI agent through [ClawLink](https://claw-link.dev) — browser login, no API key to paste, no config to edit. Connect Zoho Books once and the agent can read and act on it. Works in any agent that can run shell commands (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, and more).

## Setup

Run these once — the agent can run them for you:

```bash
npx @useclawlink/cli login              # opens browser → approve (mints + stores a key)
npx @useclawlink/cli connect zoho-books   # opens browser → authorize Zoho Books
```

No API key to create or paste — `login` stores the credential at `~/.clawlink/credentials.json`.

## Using Zoho Books

```bash
npx @useclawlink/cli actions zoho-books "<what you want to do>"   # find an action
npx @useclawlink/cli describe zoho-books <action-id>             # see its inputs (before writes)
npx @useclawlink/cli run zoho-books <action-id> --input '<json>' # execute
```

Reads first; confirm with the user before any write.

## Available actions

| Action | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `zoho_books_list_invoices` | List all invoices in Zoho Books |
| `zoho_books_list_bills` | List all bills in Zoho Books |

## Notes

- **No API key for Zoho Books itself** — ClawLink holds the OAuth token; the agent only holds your ClawLink credential.
- Not connected yet, or access expired? Re-run `npx @useclawlink/cli connect zoho-books`.
- The action list above is a snapshot; `npx @useclawlink/cli actions zoho-books` is always current.
