Connecting Zoho FSM to Zoho Analytics | Field Service Analytics Guide

Connecting Zoho FSM to Zoho Analytics

The Zoho FSM Advanced Analytics connector brings your field service management data directly into Zoho Analytics, enabling you to build detailed reports and dashboards covering service trends, workforce performance, and operational metrics. Once connected, your Zoho FSM data syncs automatically so your analysis is always based on current information.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the integration, ensure you have the following in place:

  • An active Zoho Analytics account with sufficient permissions to create workspaces.
  • Account Admin and Organisation Admin privileges within your Zoho FSM account.
  • Access to the Zoho FSM data you wish to analyse.

Setting Up the Connection

Follow these steps to connect Zoho FSM with Zoho Analytics:

  1. Open Zoho Analytics. Log in and navigate to your Analytics home page.
  2. Start a new import. Select Import Your Data from the home screen.
  3. Choose Zoho Apps. In the import wizard, select the Zoho Apps category, then choose Zoho FSM.
  4. Name your workspace. Enter a name and an optional description for the new Analytics workspace that will hold your FSM data.
  5. Select your organisation. Choose the Zoho FSM organisation whose data you want to import.
  6. Configure modules and fields. Pick the specific modules and data fields you want to bring into Analytics. You can adjust these selections later.
  7. Set sync frequency and initiate the import. Choose how often Zoho Analytics should refresh your data, then confirm to begin the initial import. The time taken for the first sync depends on the volume of data in your account. You will receive both an email and an in-app notification once the import is complete.
