Add a new Quickbooks connection

Update Quickbook objects, move Form data to QBO records, and keep DataSources up to date with the GoFormz-Quickbook connection.

Updated over a week ago

When you add a new GoFormz-Quickbooks connection, you’ll be able to move data between your Forms and Quickbooks (QBO) records.

Additionally, you can create or update existing QBO objects - like customers and invoice, and keep DataSources up-to-date with your QBO data.

If you want to add a Quickbooks connection, you’ll need to contact Pro Services to complete the necessary training. After you’ve completed the necessary training, you’ll have the necessary access.

To add this connection you'll need access to a Quickbooks account. The account used will display as the user who completes any associated actions, so we recommend that you create a 'GoFormz Connection' for exclusive use with this connection.

This connection gives GoFormz access to your Quickbooks account to read and write files, but GoFormz will not have management access for any of your Quickbooks settings.

If you’re doing sandbox testing, then during step 3 below you’ll select Sandbox Authentication Method.

You’ll need to re-authenticate your connection each time you change your Quickbooks account password.

🗒️ Note: If you add your connection using Safari, you may need to allow pop-ups from GoFormz to successfully add your connection.

Navigate to the Workflows tab in the GoFormz web app where you'll access the Workflow Dashboard. Next, follow the steps below to add your new connection.

  1. Click the Manage Connected Apps card.
