## How agents use Zoho Books

Inside a Definable workflow, Zoho Books is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Zoho Books** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Zoho Books (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Zoho Books** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Zoho Books (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Zoho Books** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Zoho Books (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Zoho Books call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
