Import Customers from Zoho Finance Suite Apps

Users with Finance permission and Client permission can import customers directly from the Zoho Finance Suite apps (Zoho Books & Zoho Invoice). This can be done at an org level or within a project. Along with customers, the associated contacts will also be imported. 
Customer and contact data is a two-way sync between Projects and Books. Create, Update, & Delete operations performed on contacts and update & delete on Customers will be synced.
