- Changes on either side travel
- Nothing bounces back and forth

Your choice
Two way or one way
Keep both systems identical, or let one feed the other. You decide per record type.
One way
One system feeds the other. Pick CompanyCam or Zoho Books as the source; the other receives.
- Good for a migration, in either direction
- A read copy for a colleague or partner
- Switch a record type to two way later
Fine tune it:Only estimates accepted from a date you pickEvery 30 minutes up to every 3 days

The same change is made to the Zoho Books client on the next sync.

Conflicts
When both sides changed the same record
- For each two way record type you choose whether CompanyCam or Zoho Books leads. The leading side always runs first in a sync.
- It only matters when the same record changed in both systems between two syncs. Every other change simply travels.
- A record is never moved backwards by a sync: a paid invoice is not reopened, a decided quote is not undecided.
Between two syncs
The phone number of the same contact is changed in both systems
Leading system
+1 415 555 0101+1 415 555 0199Two different values. Run the sync to see which one both systems end up with.

FAQ
Questions about CompanyCam and Zoho Books?
Every answer below is true for the app as it runs today. If something is not covered, ask us and we will answer in plain words.
Customers, yes: they sync in both directions and you choose which system leads when the same person changed on both sides.
No. Only an accepted one does, and only from the start date you choose. Open, declined and expired estimates never do.
At the customer's address. Without a full address (street, city, state, postal code and country) the project is not made until the address is filled in.
No. Photos, notes and everything the crew adds stay in CompanyCam. Only customers travel both ways.
No. Before anything is created in CompanyCam or Zoho Books, the platform looks for the same record first and updates that one instead. Records synced before stay linked.
The platform notices on the next sync, pauses the integration and sends you one message with a reconnect button. Reconnecting takes one step, and syncing picks up where it left off without creating anything twice.
From every 30 minutes up to every 3 days, depending on your plan. Every plan includes a 7 day free trial.
