Zoho Analytics Q1 2026: 9 new connectors and direct actions from reports

Zoho Analytics has rolled out its Q1 2026 update with expansions that make the tool even more versatile for businesses wanting to combine data from multiple sources.

9 new connectors

The update adds nine new data sources that Zoho Analytics can connect to directly:

This means you can now bring financial data, customer data, e-commerce data and marketing data together in one Analytics environment — without manual exports.

Drill Actions: act from the report itself

The most notable new feature is Drill Actions. This lets you take action directly from a report or dashboard, without switching applications. You see in a report, for example, that a deal has been in the pipeline too long, and can immediately create a task or send an email — from within Analytics.

This closes the gap between *insight* and *action*, which were traditionally two separate steps.

US Hex Bin Projection

For geographic analyses, Zoho Analytics introduces the US Hex Bin Projection: a map view where each state is shown as an equal-sized hexagon. This ensures fairer comparisons where small states aren't overshadowed by large ones.

Zoho DataPrep: Code Studio and 50+ connectors

Zoho DataPrep — the data shaping and preparation tool — has also received a major update. Code Studio lets users write Python and SQL directly within data pipelines, and the number of connectors grows to 50+.

What does this mean for you?

If you use multiple tools alongside Zoho — an external accounting package, PayPal, or an e-commerce platform — you can now easily combine that data in Zoho Analytics. FlowBee helps you configure the right connectors and build dashboards that are immediately usable for management and operations.
