Posted in your Tally.
The Tally Bridge is a small Windows app that sits next to your Tally. When you approve a bill in TaskAutomate, the bridge posts the voucher into Tally Prime or ERP 9 for you. No XML files, no importing by hand.

Tally Bridge questions
Does the Tally Bridge work with both Tally Prime and Tally ERP 9?
Yes. The Bridge uses Tally’s standard HTTP-XML interface on port 9000, so Tally Prime and Tally.ERP 9 can both receive vouchers from it once that port is turned on.
Where does the Tally Bridge run — on the cloud or on our office computer?
On a Windows PC inside your office network, next to Tally. It runs as a background Windows service, so it starts when the computer starts. It only makes outgoing secure connections to TaskAutomate, so nothing needs to be opened on your router.
Is the Tally Bridge secure?
Each Bridge uses its own device key, created in Settings → Tally → Bridge Devices and shown once. The key only lets the Bridge collect your approved vouchers and report back. The connection to Tally stays inside your office network. If a PC is lost or replaced, remove that device and its key stops working.
What happens if Tally is closed or the network is down?
The voucher cannot post until Tally is reachable. It shows in the push queue, and once Tally is back you can retry it from there. Nothing is lost and you never re-enter the bill.
Does it handle GST ledgers and voucher types?
Yes. The CGST/SGST/IGST split, the ledger names and the voucher type are worked out in TaskAutomate before anything is sent. Ledger names come from each bill’s expense type, so there is no mapping table to maintain, and if a ledger the voucher needs does not exist yet, it is created in Tally along with the voucher.
Can I review and approve vouchers before they post?
Yes. Only vouchers you have approved in TaskAutomate are sent to the Bridge.
How is this different from a CSV export or XML import into Tally?
An export still needs someone to download a file, switch to Tally, import it and fix mapping errors. With the Bridge, an approved voucher lands in Tally within seconds with its ledgers and tax already in place.
What does it cost? Is it a separate add-on?
It is included with every TaskAutomate plan and the free trial. There is no separate licence and no per-voucher charge. You only need a Windows PC on the same network as Tally.
Included on every paid plan.
The Tally Bridge isn’t an add-on. It comes with Starter, Professional and Enterprise, and with your free trial.
