We have integrated Zapier into the Invoicing module. Using which you can send all the invoices created in ReportGarden to QuickBooks effortlessly!

What is Zapier?

Zapier is a tool which is used to connect applications to save time.

Why Zapier in ReportGarden?

  • As we heard from you that you are using Quickbooks and other financial softwares to get the financial things done.

NOTE

  • A user should have his/her own Zapier account in order to connect ReportGarden with Quickbooks.

  • The user cannot edit an Invoice after sending it to the Zapier.

  • To send an Invoice to Zapier, the email id of the client should match with the email id given in Quickbooks. Otherwise, the action will fail.
