This is a paid bot, and its usage will be counted toward your plan's credits limit. For more information about credit usage, refer to this article.

General

Automatically create new QuickBooks records and populate QuickBooks record fields with data from completed documents.

Use case example: you have a new potential customer and you want to create a new record with their personal data by sending a customer form to them.

How to set up


When the bot runs by default:


The Create QuickBooks records bot activates once documents are completed by the step after which the bot is set. To add the bot to your workflow, click the plus icon.

Then, select Bot from the list.

Search for the Create QuickBooks records bot. Then, install the bot to your workflow by clicking the corresponding button.

Connection settings:


To connect the bot to your QuickBooks organization, select Connect in the Connection settings section.

Then, select and connect a QuickBooks account. You can also create and connect a new account by clicking Add new connection.


If the Add new connection option has been selected, the modal window will open. Choose the environment where you want to connect your account. Then, select Apply.


Once selected, you’ll be redirected to the QuickBooks login page to enter your credentials.

Action settings:


In the Select objects and map fields section, select a base object in QuickBooks where you’d like to connect your workflow. A base entity is where the new record will be created and the data from a completed document will be populated.

Note: Configuring related parent or child objects of the selected base object is currently unavailable.

Map QuickBooks object fields to document fields. Field mapping means connecting the QuickBooks object fields with a document’s corresponding fields.

Best practices: Ensure that all fields that are required to create a record in a specific entity are mapped, otherwise records cannot be created.

Once done, select Continue to proceed.

Conditions

Define conditions for the bot to activate exactly as you need. When not defined, the bot will activate according to the default triggers (when a recipient completes the document).
