Zuora Query

With the Zuora Query function, you can send query operations to Zuora Billing and retrieve the response for further enrichment. This enrichment can provide more context and details to the subscription billing data, enabling deeper insights, improve decision-making, and for more efficient operations. Enriched data from the Zuora Query function can be passed down for further processing by the next function in the stream.

The function sends requests using the POST method and then receives the responses, which are routed to the next function in the stream. This function supports two APIs Data Query and ZOQL.

You can configure the function by entering the following details:

The maximum value allowed is 3600 seconds.
