# Zoho Invoice

> Connect DialNexa calls to Zoho Invoice for lead, contact, company, deal, activity, task, or account-owner alert workflows.

Zoho Invoice simplifies billing, recurring payments, and expense management, helping freelancers and small businesses send professional invoices.

<Note>
  Use Zoho Invoice with DialNexa when a buyer, customer, partner, or account contact gives information that should change pipeline, ownership, qualification, or follow-up.
</Note>

## Where Zoho Invoice fits in a DialNexa workflow

Zoho Invoice should receive DialNexa output when the conversation affects a lead, contact, company, deal, activity, task, or account-owner alert. The handoff should explain what the caller asked for, what DialNexa learned, which record or object is affected, and who owns the next step.
