How to connect multiple Zoho books accounts to Claude

Claude's built-in Zoho books connector works well if you use one Zoho books account. But when you connect a second account, it replaces the first.

If you manage separate Zoho books accounts for different products, regions, or business units, that quickly becomes frustrating.

Composio fixes this by keeping each Zoho books account separate and giving it a simple name, such as zoho_books-1, zoho_books-2, or zoho_books-3. Claude can then use the right Zoho books account when you mention that name.

• One Composio connector in Claude
• Two or more Zoho books accounts connected behind it
• A clear name for each account
• The ability to work in the right Zoho books account from a single Claude chat

For example:

Search my zoho_books-1 and zoho_books-2 Zoho books accounts for anything that needs my attention from the last 7 days. Tell me which account each item came from.

Using the zoho_books-1 account, list unpaid invoices for this month.

• A Claude account
• A free Composio account
• Access to each Zoho books account you want to connect

If you use Claude Free, you can have one custom connector. If you already use that slot, you will need to remove the existing custom connector first.

If you use Claude Team or Enterprise, an Owner may need to add the connector for the organisation. Each member can then connect their own accounts.

Step 1: Add Composio to Claude (one-time process)

1. Click the button below. This will take you to the Claude Custom Connector modal.

Add to Claude

2. Click Continue

3. In the next modal, click Add

4. It will take you to the authentication page. Sign in to Composio and approve the connection.

Then return to Claude and make sure Composio is enabled.

Step 2: Connect your first Zoho books account

In a new Claude chat, type:

Connect my zoho_books-1 Zoho books account to Composio. Call it zoho_books-1.

Claude will give you a sign-in link.

1. Click the link.
2. Sign in to your zoho_books-1 Zoho books account.
3. Review and approve Zoho books's permission request.
4. Return to Claude.

Claude should confirm that the account is connected.

The name zoho_books-1 is how Claude knows which Zoho books account to use. Choose short, obvious names. Good examples include:

• zoho_books-1
• zoho_books-2
• zoho_books-3

Step 3: Connect your second Zoho books account

In the same Claude chat, type:

Connect another Zoho books account. Call it zoho_books-2.

Claude will give you a new sign-in link.

1. Open the link.
2. Sign in to the second Zoho books account.
3. Review and approve Zoho books's permission request.
4. Return to Claude.

Claude should confirm that zoho_books-2 is connected.

Important: Check that Zoho books is showing the second account before you approve access. If the wrong account appears, sign out or open the link in an incognito or private window.

Repeat this step for every other Zoho books account you want to add. Give each connection a short, descriptive name such as zoho_books-1, zoho_books-2, zoho_books-3, or client-acme.

Step 4: Check your connected Zoho books accounts

Ask Claude:

List my connected Zoho books accounts in Composio. Show each account's name and connection status.

You should see every account you added, and each connection should show as ACTIVE.

For an extra check, ask:

Show the account email or ID and the account name for each connected Zoho books account.

This helps you confirm that every label points to the correct Zoho books account and that you did not connect the same account twice.

Step 5: Use the right Zoho books account

Mention the account name whenever you ask Claude to work with Zoho books. This is especially important when an action could change data.

Review activity across accounts

Check zoho_books-1 and zoho_books-2 for anything new in Zoho books from the last 14 days. Group the results by account.

Create a new expense entry today

Using the zoho_books-1 account, create a new expense entry today.

Send payment reminder to a client

Using the zoho_books-2 account, send payment reminder to a client.

Find something across accounts

Search all connected Zoho books accounts for customer@example.com. Show which account it appears in and summarise the latest activity.

For actions such as creating, changing, or deleting data, ask Claude to show you the planned action first and wait for your confirmation.

Add this to your Claude preferences or project instructions, replacing the examples with your own account names:

My Zoho books accounts are: zoho_books-1 = my main account, zoho_books-2 = my second account, and zoho_books-3 = a client account. Always use the named account when I specify one. If I do not name an account, ask me which one to use. Before creating, changing, or deleting anything, show me the planned action and wait for confirmation.

If Claude's built-in Zoho books connector is also enabled, Claude may use it instead of Composio. For a clearer setup, turn off the built-in connector or explicitly tell Claude to use Zoho books through Composio.

The chat method is the quickest way to connect accounts. Use the dashboard when you want to add, rename, reconnect, or remove a connection.

1. Go to dashboard.composio.dev.

2. Sign in with the same Composio account you connected to Claude.
3. Open For You from the product switcher.
4. Find Zoho books.
5. Click Connect and complete the Zoho books authorisation flow.
6. Click Connect again to add another Zoho books account. Composio keeps it as a separate connection instead of replacing the first.
7. Give each connection a clear label, such as zoho_books-1, zoho_books-2, or zoho_books-3.

If Zoho books opens the wrong account during authorisation, sign out first or use an incognito or private window.

From the dashboard, you can also:

• Rename a connection when a default label such as zoho_books-2 is no longer useful.
• Disconnect or delete an account you no longer want Claude to access.
• Re-authorise an expired or revoked connection.
