Often paired with
Tools Tally usually needs to talk to.
-
Tally and Airtable
A relational database with a spreadsheet face, used as the operations base for teams who have outgrown sheets.
-
Tally and Razorpay
Payments, payment links and payouts, widely used by businesses selling in India and Southeast Asia.
-
Tally and WhatsApp Business API
The channel customers in most markets reply on, with templates, sessions and consent rules.
-
Tally and Google Sheets
The spreadsheet most operations start in, and the one most integrations have to respect.
In every build
The same standards, whichever tool.
Under the hood
- Upserts keyed on the record
Every write is matched on the source ID. A retry or a re-fire updates the existing record instead of creating a second one.
- Retries with backoff
Rate limits and timeouts are retried with increasing delays, then parked for review, never dropped.
- Idempotent, loop-safe writes
Two-way flows carry a marker so a change written by the sync does not re-trigger the sync.
- Reconciliation
A nightly job compares counts and totals on both sides and lists any record that differs.
- Audit log
Every run records input, mapping result, action taken and who or what triggered it. Searchable by record.
For the team
- Slack or email notifications
The alerts go to a named person, not a channel nobody reads. You choose Slack, email, WhatsApp or all three.
- A runbook
One document per integration: what it does, what each alert means, and what to do in the first ten minutes.
- Training
A live session with the people who will use the review queue, recorded for whoever joins later.
- Handover
Admin access, billing and code sit in accounts in your name from day one. If we leave, it keeps running.
- Sixty days of hypercare
The engineers who built it stay on call after go-live, fix what breaks and tune what the team asks for.
Keys and data
- Keys live in a vault, never in code
API keys and tokens are stored in the orchestration layer's encrypted credential store or the platform's secret manager. None are written into workflows, repos, spreadsheets or chat.
- One credential per connection
Each integration gets its own key, scoped to the objects and actions it needs. A lead sync cannot read invoices. Revoking one key stops one thing.
- Service accounts, not personal logins
Connections use a dedicated service user in your account, so nothing breaks when a person leaves and nothing runs under someone's name.
- Two-factor on every account
Every platform account we set up has two-factor authentication on, with recovery codes handed to you, not kept by us.
- Rotation on handover and on request
Keys are rotated when the build is handed over, when anyone with access leaves, and at any time you ask.

Questions
What people ask about Tally.
Tally has no cloud API. How does this work?
A small bridge on the machine that runs Tally talks to its XML gateway and to the cloud, handles Tally being closed, and retries. We install and monitor it.
