Integrate Zoho Books with Zapier

Zapier is a web-based service that helps you automate different tasks in two different apps. Whenever a task is performed in one application, you can automate another task to be performed in another application.

Scenario: Patricia is the Sales Manager at Zylker Corporation, a web design company. She wants all the customers that are added in her Zoho Books account to be added to her MailChimp account as well so that she can send them promotional emails about the latest offers. To do this, she creates a Zap with the following details:
Trigger - New Customer (Zoho Books)
Action - Add/Update Subscriber (MailChimp)

Scenario: Bailey is the head of a startup that sells printed materials. She wants to add a new row to her Google sheet, whenever a new printing material (item) is added in her Zoho Books account. So she creates a Zap with the trigger and action as follows:
Trigger - New Item (Zoho Books)
Action - Create Spreadsheet Row (Google Sheets)
