When do I change my ZSC key in Zoho MarketingHub?

You need to change your ZSC key in Zoho MarketingHub under these two scenarios,

  • If you change the Zoho Invoice ZSC key.

  • If you change your primary email address of your Invoice account.

Change ZSC key

You can regenerate your ZSC (Zoho Service Communication) key by copying the ZSC key from your Zoho Invoice account and pasting it in your MarketingHub account.

To change your ZSC key,

1. Log in to Zoho Invoice.

2. Click  Settings at the top-right corner of the page and select Integrations.

3. Click Zoho Invoice ZSC key tab and then click Regenerate ZSC key.


Next you will need to log in to Zoho MarketingHub. 

1. From the Navigation toolbar, choose Leads and select Sync services. 

2. Under Zoho Invoice, select Active syncs.


3. Navigate to Settings tab.

4. Under Account details, click on the Edit icon next to existing ZSC key. 


5. Paste the ZSC key copied from Invoice in the  Update account details window that appears.


Use Case 

1. I am updating my ZSC key in my Zoho Invoice account. Will it impact on existing sync status?

Yes, the change will deactivate the existing syncs. In such cases, you need to activate all syncs manually. Once you regenerate the ZSC key, all previous syncs will become inactive, and you will need to enter the new ZSC key in your Zoho MarketingHub account to activate the periodic syncs.
