Close a deal in Zoho CRM and invoice it in Zoho Books
One message updates the deal, creates the invoice and books the onboarding meeting.
Close the deal, send the invoice and answer the ticket in Zoho from one chat
Say “Mark the Acme deal as won, send them a $1,200 invoice and set up an onboarding meeting.” Manus updates Zoho CRM, creates the invoice in Zoho Books and books the meeting. It can also draft replies to open Zoho Desk tickets and check Zoho Projects. Ask it to list the changes first, and it waits for your OK. What it can do depends on your Zoho setup and permissions.
First, connect Zoho in Manus
Use Zoho MCP to run one request across Zoho apps
Say it once. Manus works as your Zoho AI agent: it can mark a deal as won in Zoho CRM, create the invoice in Zoho Books and book the onboarding meeting, then tell you what changed.

See which deals are paid, which invoices are overdue and which deals were never invoiced.
Add a new Zoho CRM customer to Zoho Books
Copy the contact details once, so the invoice goes to the right person.
Zoho CRM AI for deals and follow-ups
Use Manus as your Zoho CRM AI assistant, with no Zoho CRM AI agents to build. Ask which deals close this week, move a deal to the next stage or add a lead. Ask it to list the changes first, and it waits for your OK.

Zoho Desk AI that helps you reply to open tickets

Open Connectors
In Manus, open Connectors, choose Zoho and select Connect.
Sign in to Zoho
Follow the steps to sign in with your Zoho account and allow access. Manus then works with the apps and records your Zoho user can already use.

Questions about Zoho AI and MCP
How does Zoho MCP setup work in Manus?
Open Connectors in Manus, choose Zoho and select Connect. Follow the steps to sign in with your Zoho account and allow access. After that, mention Zoho in any task, for example “Which Acme invoices are still unpaid in Zoho Books?”
Which Zoho apps can Manus work with?
One Zoho MCP integration covers Zoho CRM, Books, Desk, Projects and more, so there’s no separate Zoho CRM AI integration or Zoho Desk AI integration to add. Which apps and actions you can use depends on your Zoho setup and permissions, and on what the connector supports in Manus today.
Will Manus change deals, invoices or tickets without asking?
No. Manus changes your Zoho data only when you ask. Ask it to list the changes first, and it waits for your OK before it updates a deal, creates an invoice, replies to a ticket or edits a task. Every example on this page does this. It can only do what your Zoho user is allowed to do.
Can one request cover several Zoho apps?
Yes. Ask in one message, for example “Mark the Acme deal as won, create a $1,200 invoice for them and set up an onboarding meeting.” Manus works as your Zoho AI agent: it handles each part in the right Zoho app and tells you what it changed.
How is Manus different from Zia, Zoho’s own AI?
Zoho’s built-in AI assistant works inside Zoho apps, and Zoho also offers a studio where you build your own Zoho AI agents. Manus works with your Zoho data through the connector, so there’s no agent to build: say what you need, and it can combine Zoho with the other tools you’ve connected in the same task.
Is this like a Zoho integration with Claude or ChatGPT?
Both use MCP. Zoho MCP is how AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT connect to Zoho apps, and Zoho in Manus is an MCP connector too. Connect it once in Manus Connectors, and any task can use it alongside the other tools you’ve connected.
I’m a Zoho consultant. Can I use this for my clients?
Yes, with the access each client gives you. Manus works as the Zoho user you sign in with, so it sees and changes only what that user can in the client’s Zoho organization. Check with the client’s Zoho admin before you start, since their settings and permissions decide what’s possible.
What can Manus see in Zoho?
Only what your Zoho user can see. If your role can’t open an app, a module or a record, Manus can’t either. You can disconnect Zoho in Manus Connectors at any time.
Can Manus send me a Zoho summary every week?
Yes. Ask for the summary once and say when to run it, for example every Monday at 8 AM. Manus runs it as an automation, so one message covers what a Zoho CRM AI assistant and a Zoho Books AI assistant would tell you: new won deals, invoiced totals, open tickets and overdue tasks.
Do I need to write code?
No. Zoho is already in Manus Connectors. Connect your account once and ask for what you need in plain words.
