Once connected, feeds will be fetched into Zoho Expense as soon as transactions are made. Next, the fetched feeds will be matched with the existing expenses or they will be created as new expenses automatically.

Once integrated, based on your company’s policies, your employees can choose their preferred flights and hotels from a range of options and submit them for approval in Zoho Expense. After approval, they can complete the booking through myBiz. Also, expenses will be automatically created in Zoho Expense for the booking made using myBiz. Learn More

New Notification Preferences for Purchase Request

Now, you can choose to send email and in-app notifications to your employees when purchase requests are on-hold, marked as processed, reverted the processed status, added comments, or canceled. It helps your employees stay informed about the procurement process and make better decisions in your organization.
