Connecting to QuickBooks

Connecting to QuickBooks

QuickBooks simplifies small business accounting and automates tasks such as bookkeeping, invoicing, time tracking, sales tax management, budgeting, bank reconciliation, and inventory tracking.

These processes can be further streamlined with apps from our platform that can create or update data in QuickBooks, such as contacts, invoices, tracking categories, and timesheets.

To connect Appenate to QuickBooks, you first need to set up a Connection. This allows Appenate to send and receive information from your QuickBooks account.

Once the connection is established, you can use Form Connectors to send data to QuickBooks or Data Source Connectors to pull information from it.

Adding

The Data Hub area of the platform is where you can add connections for connectors. Navigate the side menu to Data Hub > Connections.

On the Connections page:

  • Click the ADD CONNECTION button in the top-right-hand corner to bring up a list of connections.
  • Click on the QuickBooks Online option.

Authenticate a Connection

Once you’ve added a QuickBooks Connection, hit the Authorize button and sign into your QuickBooks account to allow Appenate to push or pull data from your account.

After logging in, click the Save button at the top right of the page. The connection will show “connected” status, confirming that Appenate can now communicate with your QuickBooks account.

You can now add QuickBooks Form and Data Source Connectors to push and pull data from your QuickBooks account.

Sandbox Account

Allows for testing via a QuickBooks sandbox account.

Website as a Service?

If you run a branded website, you must enable QuickBooks Connections before you can add Connections.
