FAQ

Questions about List Contacts.

What does the List Contacts action do in Zoho Books?

Lists contacts (customers and vendors) from Zoho Books with their balances and status. Used for AR/AP reports or contact pickers.

What inputs does List Contacts require?

Required: Organization ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Zoho Books returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Zoho Books returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does List Contacts support batch operations?

Run List Contacts inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Zoho Books's rate limits.
