Use Cases

Order fulfillment conversations automated

Real scenarios where AI agents bridge the gap between your warehouse operations in Zoho Inventory and the customers asking about their orders.

Shipping Updates Without Checking the Dashboard

A customer messages 'Where is my package?' Your AI Agent searches their sales order in Zoho Inventory, finds the associated package record, retrieves the carrier tracking number and shipment date, and responds with a delivery estimate. The customer gets instant tracking information without your team manually looking up orders.

Invoice Resends Handled in Seconds

A customer says 'I never received my invoice, can you resend it?' Your AI Agent locates the invoice in Zoho Inventory by customer name or order number, triggers the email invoice function, and confirms delivery to their inbox. What used to require a support ticket and back-office lookup now resolves in one exchange.

Product Availability Confirmed Before Purchase

A B2B buyer asks 'Do you have 500 units of item X in stock?' Your AI Agent checks the item record in Zoho Inventory, verifies current stock levels across warehouses, and reports exact availability along with the unit price. The buyer places their order with confidence, and your team avoids overselling inventory.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI agent check stock across multiple Zoho Inventory warehouses?

Yes. Zoho Inventory's item API returns stock levels by warehouse when multi-warehouse tracking is enabled. The agent can report availability at specific locations or aggregate stock across all warehouses. This helps your team and customers understand where inventory is physically available.

How does the agent handle composite items and product bundles?

The agent queries Zoho Inventory's composite item endpoints to retrieve the bundle structure, including individual component items and their quantities. It can report whether all components are in stock to fulfill the bundle. If any component is out of stock, the agent flags it in the response.

What Zoho Inventory permissions does Tars need?

Tars connects through Zoho's OAuth 2.0 flow and requests access to your Inventory organization's modules including sales orders, invoices, items, contacts, and packages. You authorize these during setup and can revoke access from your Zoho account security settings at any time.

Does Tars store inventory data from my Zoho account?

No. The agent queries Zoho Inventory in real time during each conversation. Stock levels, sales orders, and invoice data are fetched live and used only for the current response. No inventory or order data is cached in Tars databases.

Can the agent create new sales orders in Zoho Inventory?

The current integration focuses on reading sales order data, managing invoices, and handling item information. Creating new sales orders requires your Zoho Inventory plan to support API write access. The agent can list existing orders and update invoice-related actions.

How is this different from Zoho Inventory's customer portal?

The customer portal requires login credentials and navigation. Through Tars, customers ask questions in natural language on WhatsApp, your website, or SMS, and get immediate answers about their orders, invoices, and shipments. No portal login needed, and the conversation feels personal rather than transactional.

What happens if a customer asks about an order that was processed in a different system?

The agent only accesses data within your Zoho Inventory organization. If an order was processed elsewhere, the agent will not find a match and can gracefully inform the customer while offering to connect them with a human agent or suggesting they check with an alternative reference number.

How do I connect Zoho Inventory to my Tars AI Agent?

In your Tars dashboard, navigate to Tools and select Zoho Inventory. Click 'Connect' to start the OAuth flow with your Zoho account. Select your organization if you have multiple. Once connected, attach the tool to your AI Agent Gambit. The agent begins answering order and inventory questions during customer conversations.
