Zamino can connect to a growing catalog of business systems — accounting, banking, POS, ERP, documents, and custom webhooks. You don't need to wire them all up on day one. Start with one, let it prove itself, and add more as your questions get richer.
🤔 What are you trying to see first?
💰 You want financial visibility
Connect your accounting tool first. This is the most common starting point — it gives Zamino the spine of your business.
- QuickBooks Online — the deepest integration, with optional Live mode for real-time questions (no nightly sync wait).
- Xero — full read access to invoices, bills, contacts, and your chart of accounts.
You'll be able to ask about revenue, margin, expenses, AR/AP aging, vendor spend, and customer profitability within minutes.
🏦 You want a clean cash picture
Connect your bank accounts and credit cards through Plaid. Plaid covers 12,000+ institutions in the US, UK, and EU, so wiring up your operating account, payroll account, and Amex usually takes one OAuth flow per bank.
Best for: monitoring cash on hand, catching unusual transactions, and reconciling spend against the books.
🛒 You run retail or hospitality
Connect your POS so order-level data flows in immediately.
- Clover — orders, items, payments, refunds, and tip data.
- Coming soon: Square, Shopify, Stripe.
Best for: top-SKU analysis, daypart trends, refund-rate monitoring, and same-store comparisons.
🏭 You run a manufacturer or operations-heavy business
Connect MRPEasy for ERP data — purchase orders, manufacturing orders, customer orders, stock items, and returns. Or connect MySQL if you have your own operational database (read-only with auto schema discovery).
📄 You have docs to mine
Connect Google Drive to let Zamino read PDFs, spreadsheets, and contracts in your shared drives. Useful when the answer lives in a vendor agreement or a board deck rather than a transactional system.
🛠️ You have a system Zamino doesn't list
Use the Custom Webhook connector. Push events from any system that can send HTTP — internal tools, niche SaaS, ad platforms — and Zamino will treat them as a first-class source.
What the connect flow looks like — every time
- Pick from the catalog
🔌 Connectors → Browse → Connect. Each tile shows what scope Zamino requests and a brief feature list.
- Approve via OAuth
You sign in to the source's normal login. No API keys to hunt for. Zamino only ever requests read scopes.
- Wait for the initial sync
2–10 minutes for most sources, longer for years of bank history or high-volume POS. You'll get an in-app notification when the source is ready.
- Start asking questions
Switch back to 💬 Chat. Zamino joins data across sources automatically — so when you connect Plaid alongside QuickBooks later, questions like "what's my gross margin on SKU X versus what hit the bank" get richer with no extra config.
