QuickBooks Online Integration
September 21, 2021Overview
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.
How to Set up QuickBooks Online integration
This is done in a few quick steps
- Go to Add-Ons tab in setting and check the box for Quickbooks (this is a premium option.
- Go to the new Quickbooks tab and click on Provided links
- Sign into your Quickbooks account.

- Lastly, there is an option to map three fields to your custom QB fields.

- Click the blue button that appears that says “Authorization with google”

- If you opt to send full Contact Payload your sheet needs to be designed to have headers for every piece of the contact’s payload
- If you want to only send specific information from the Contact, you need to map your Sheet’s Columns to the specific data being sent. Be sure to place the data you are sending in the same order of the Sheet’s Columns. For easy mapping, put the same name of the Sheet’s column header as the Key Name. Then select the corresponding Contact Token as the Value to be sent. Click Save after each Key Name-Value pair you create.
- You can also set a fixed Value without a token, but that value will always be what is sent.
- Click “Save Action” once you are done with editing the step

Angi Leads (Home Advisor)
March 22, 2021Overview
Our Angi Lead integration allows you to instantly get ALL information from new leads from Angi Leads, formerly Home Advisor, brought straight into ClientTether.
You can also easily monitor all incoming leads from Angi Leads via our API Monitor.
All information is stored and easily accessible within the Contact Profile for the lead.
Based on your settings you can arrange for an Action Plan to instantly fire off once the lead has come into the system.
There are two parts to getting this integration going and they must be done in the following order:
- Activating within ClientTether
- Activating with Angi Leads
Here is the link to the slide deck used in this presentation.
Topics
- Activating Angi Leads Integration within ClientTether
- Activating Angi Leads Integration with Angi Leads
Activating Angi LeadsIntegration within ClientTether
We have made our side of this integration as simple as possible.
- Go to Settings
- Go to Add-Ons tab
- Check the box next to Activate Angi Leads
- Click on the tab that appears called “Angi Leads”
- Select your lead sources for “With an Appointment:” and “Without an Appointment”
- Even if you don’t ever expect to get a lead with an appointment or without an appointment always set the lead source for both anyways.
- Click on the Unique Endpoint at the top of the page to copy it.
Here is the link to the slide deck used in this presentation.
Activating Angi Leads Integration with Angi Leads
To activate the Angi Leads API on the Angi Leads side you will need to send an email to: crmintegrations@homeadvisor.com (This is still correct even they have changed name to Angi Leads).
This email needs to contain:
- A Subject with the number of Accounts you wish to add to the API
- {{Your Company Name}} X Number of Accounts for API Set up
- We strongly recommend not doing more than 10 at a time, and testing those 10 accounts, because Angi Leads manually enters the data on their end and have made errors on entries before.
- Create a table with the columns for the account owners first name, last name, Angi Leads’ Account ID, and the Unique Endpoint you copied from ClientTether.

- Make sure to specify for them to turn off any parser emails coming into ClientTether from Angi Leads
- Otherwise you will have the same lead come in via the API integration and the parser, which will cause you to get a lot of duplicates.
- Send the email
- Please be aware Angi Leads Standard Operating Procedure is to send you a test contact once the account is connected. This test contact will be a duplicate of an existing contact. If you wish for them not to do this please specify it in your email.
Here is the link to the slide deck used in this presentation.
