Zoho Billing connector

Set up the Zoho Billing connector in Kaivo: authentication, configuration, the 12 BigQuery tables it syncs, and answers to common questions.

Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Zoho Billing data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your payment and finance data instead of moving it.

What is the Zoho Billing connector

Sync your Zoho Billing data into BigQuery with Kaivo to analyse subscriptions, invoices, and recurring revenue.

Category	Finance & Payments
Authentication	API key
Setup	Self-service

Getting started with the Zoho Billing connector

Sign up for Kaivo and create a workspace.
Connect your Zoho Billing account.
Choose which tables to sync.
Wait for the initial sync to finish.
Query your data in BigQuery or your favourite AI or BI tool.

Authenticating Zoho Billing

Authenticate with your Zoho Billing credentials. You provide:

Field	Description
OAuth Client Secret	The Client Secret of your Zoho Billing developer application.
Refresh Token	The refresh token obtained after completing the OAuth authorization flow.

Prerequisites

Zoho Billing only supports OAuth, so you need your own Zoho developer application:

Go to the Zoho API Console, create a Self Client (the simplest option for a data sync), and note your Client ID and Client Secret.
Generate a grant token for the ZohoBilling.fullaccess.all scope, then exchange it for a Refresh Token (see Zoho Billing's OAuth docs). Use the accounts URL for your account's region, e.g. accounts.zoho.com (US) or accounts.zoho.eu (EU).

Then enter those values below.

Configuring the Zoho Billing connector

When you set up the connector, you provide:

Field	Description
OAuth Client ID	The Client ID of your Zoho Billing developer application.
Region	The region where your Zoho Billing account is hosted.

How the Zoho Billing sync works

After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Zoho Billing supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won't get duplicate rows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the initial sync take for Zoho Billing?

It depends on how much history is in your Zoho Billing account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they're much faster.

Can I sync only some tables or columns?

Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don't select are never copied to your warehouse.

What happens when Zoho Billing's schema changes?

New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven't selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table's sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what's currently in Zoho Billing, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.

Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Zoho Billing instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Zoho Billing connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.
