QuickBooks Online Integration

September 21, 2021

Overview

There is an Add-On feature in ClientTether to integrate with QuickBooks Online. Once that Add-On is activated and the first Sync is complete, a regular synchronization is done every two hours at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Mountain Time.

  • The synchronization is initiated when a Contact, with an existing proposal, is marked as Closed or CMPL.
  • A new invoice will be created in your QuickBooks Online account, with the same name and number as the ClientTether proposal.
    • If the client already exists in QuickBooks, then the invoice will be tied to that client.
    • If the client does not exist, then a new client record will be created in QuickBooks with the information from ClientTether and the invoice will be tied to that client.
  • Any “Product” that exist in ClientTether that do not exist in QuickBooks will be created.
  • Any payments recorded in ClientTether will be added to that invoice.
  • As payments are added in ClientTether they will be added to the existing invoice.

    NOTE: Our CSMs are NOT QuickBooks user. How you use the data once transferred, is up to you.
