# Zoho account

## Description

The **Zoho Account** entity represents company-level information in Zoho CRM, such as business name, industry, and location. It is used to track organizations you're doing business with, often linked with contacts and deals.

The **Zoho Account** activity allows workflow-based interaction with the Zoho CRM _Accounts_ module. It supports the following operations:

- Get a specific account by ID
- Get all accounts
- Create a new account
- Create many accounts using mapped input
- Update an account by ID
- Delete an account by ID

> Use Case:
> Business account data, once extracted using QueryExecution, can be uploaded to Zoho via ZohoAccount. These accounts form the foundation for associating related contacts or deals. Workflows can then segment accounts based on industry or revenue range using GroupLongTailValues and create region-wise reports using PivotColumns.

## Input

- **Data** – Required for `Create Many`, and `Update` operations.
