Zoho CRM + Bruin

Source

Ingest Zoho CRM data into your warehouse with incremental loading, quality checks, and full lineage. Defined in YAML, version-controlled in Git.

For business teams

What you get

Sales analytics beyond the CRM
Join Zoho CRM pipeline data with marketing spend and product usage. Know which campaigns actually drive revenue.
Clean contact data
Quality checks deduplicate contacts, catch missing emails, and validate pipeline stages on every sync.
Revenue forecasting you trust
Feed clean Zoho CRM data into forecasting models. Bad CRM data makes bad forecasts — Bruin catches issues first.
Marketing attribution that works
Connect Zoho CRM closed-won deals back to ad spend and campaigns. Finance gets numbers they can actually trust.

For data & engineering teams

How it works

Deduplication built in
Bruin handles incremental loading with merge strategy. Contacts and deals are deduplicated automatically on every sync.
YAML-defined, Git-versioned
Your Zoho CRM pipeline is a YAML file. Review in PRs, deploy with CI/CD, roll back with git revert.
Custom SQL quality checks
Validate pipeline stage values, check for orphaned deals, and enforce referential integrity with custom SQL.
End-to-end lineage
Trace Zoho CRM data from ingestion through every transform to final dashboards. Know what breaks when schemas change.

Before you start

Zoho CRM account with API access

Self-client or server-based OAuth app

Refresh token with required scopes

Step 1

Add your Zoho CRM connection

Connect using Zoho CRM OAuth credentials. Add this to your Bruin environment file — credentials are stored securely and referenced by name in your pipeline YAML.

Parameters

client_idZoho API client ID
client_secretZoho API client secret
refresh_tokenOAuth refresh token

connections:
  zoho_crm:
    type: zoho-crm
    uri: "zoho-crm://client_id:client_secret@organization_id?refresh_token=token"

Step 2

Create your pipeline

Define a YAML asset that tells Bruin what to pull from Zoho CRM and where to land it. This file lives in your Git repo — reviewable, version-controlled, and deployable with CI/CD.

Available tables

leadscontactsdealsaccountstasksactivities

name: raw.zoho_crm_leads
type: ingestr

parameters:
  source_connection: zoho_crm
  source_table: 'leads'
  destination: bigquery

# Syncs contacts, deals, and activities
# with incremental loading and deduplication.

Step 3

Add quality checks

Validate Zoho CRM data on every sync. Catch orphaned deals, duplicate contacts, and invalid pipeline stages before they corrupt your analytics.

Validate pipeline stage values against accepted list

Catch orphaned deals with no contact attached

Ensure contact emails are never null

columns:
  - name: id
    checks:
      - name: not_null
      - name: unique
  - name: email
    checks:
      - name: not_null
  - name: stage
    checks:
      - name: accepted_values
        value: ['lead', 'qualified', 'proposal', 'closed_won', 'closed_lost']

custom_checks:
  - name: no orphaned deals
    query: |
      SELECT COUNT(*) = 0
      FROM raw.zoho_crm_contacts deals
      LEFT JOIN raw.zoho_crm_leads contacts
        ON deals.contact_id = contacts.id
      WHERE contacts.id IS NULL

Step 4

Run it

One command. Bruin connects to Zoho CRM, pulls data incrementally, runs your quality checks, and lands clean data in your warehouse. If a check fails, the pipeline stops — bad data never reaches downstream.

Backfill historical data with --start-date

Schedule with cron or trigger from CI/CD
