Is it possible to sync data every 5–10 minutes in Zoho Analytics (CRM or Excel imports)?

Is it possible to sync data every 5–10 minutes in Zoho Analytics (CRM or Excel imports)?

Hello Team,

I want to know if Zoho Analytics supports near real-time syncing of data from different sources.

My requirements:

  1. I am importing data from Zoho CRM → Zoho Analytics

  2. I also have some datasets maintained in Excel/CSV

  3. I want both data sources to sync automatically every 5 minutes or 10 minutes

My questions:

  1. Does Zoho Analytics support syncing CRM data every 5–10 minutes?

  2. If not directly, can this be done using Zoho Flow, APIs, or any other Zoho service?

  3. Can Excel/CSV files (local drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, Zoho WorkDrive, etc.) be auto-synced every 10 minutes?

  4. What is the minimum refresh interval Zoho Analytics allows for CRM and external file sources?

At the moment, I only see hourly or manual refresh options.
I want to confirm if shorter intervals like 5–10 minutes are possible by any method.

Thank you.

This surprised me as why would you have 2 units with the same name. Please consider adding a feature which prevents this as it seems to serve no purpose.
