Metro 2 Integration for Zoho Billing
Connect Zoho Billing through authenticated webhooks. Invoice, customer payment, credit note and refund events become entries in BureauRelay's account ledger. Changes and voids preserve the original entries and trigger a recalculation of balances, delinquency and payment history for subsequent reporting.
How It Works
Zoho Billing sends an authenticated webhook to BureauRelay. The customer identifier selects an existing reporting account, the event updates its ledger, and the next reporting file uses the recalculated values.
BureauRelayBenefits
Calculated reporting values
BureauRelay derives balances, aging and delinquency from billing transactions.
Auditable corrections
Original invoices, revisions and voids remain in the ledger when reporting values change.
Safe event replays
Repeated events reuse the same entries instead of creating duplicate charges.
Data Fields That Sync
BureauRelay maps these fields from Zoho Billing to Metro 2 format automatically.
- Customer identifier
- Invoice and due dates
- Invoice amounts
- Payment dates and allocations
- Credit notes and refunds
- Invoice revisions and voids
Get Set Up in 4 Steps
Match customer identifiers
Create or import reporting accounts whose account number matches Zoho customer_id, customer_number or your chosen custom field.
Create a BureauRelay API key
Use a Test API key while checking your mapping. Keep the key in the Authorization header, never the webhook URL.
Configure Zoho webhooks
In Zoho Billing, open Settings, Automation, Webhooks. Send POST requests with Default Payload and an Authorization: Bearer header to the URL in your dashboard setup.
Verify the first events
Send a test invoice, payment and void for a matching Test account. Review the response and resulting ledger before configuring Live reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when an invoice is voided?
The void targets the original invoice and recalculates the account. The original entries and calculation history remain available, and subsequent reporting uses the corrected values.
Does the webhook create reporting accounts?
First create or import the reporting accounts, with account numbers matching the selected Zoho customer field. Webhooks then update those accounts' ledgers.
