What Is QuickBooks?

QuickBooks is accounting software by Intuit used by millions of businesses to manage income, expenses, invoicing, payroll, and financial reporting. QuickBooks Online adds cloud-based access and webhook support for real-time data integration.

Why Connect QuickBooks to Dashello?

QuickBooks shows you the numbers. Dashello shows you what to do with them. By connecting QuickBooks to your Dashello dashboard, your financial data lives alongside your sales, marketing, and operations metrics - giving you a complete picture of your business in one place.

QuickBooks Data	Dashello Metric	What It Tracks
Total Income	Monthly Revenue	All income across accounts
Total Expenses	Operating Costs	All outgoing expenses
Invoice Total	Invoice Revenue	Revenue from invoices
Net Income	Net Profit	Revenue minus expenses
Accounts Receivable	Outstanding Invoices	Money owed to you

How to Set Up the QuickBooks Integration

Create a source connector in Dashello

Log into Dashello at app.dashello.co. Go to Settings → Integrations and click Add New App. Select QuickBooks. Give your connector a name like "QuickBooks Account" and save. Dashello creates a source connector with a unique ID.

Map your QuickBooks fields to Dashello metrics

In your connector settings, map QuickBooks fields to your dashboard metric boxes. For example:
• Map TotalIncome → "Monthly Revenue" metric box
• Map TotalExpenses → "Operating Costs" metric box
• Map Invoice.Total → "Invoice Revenue" metric box

You can map any QuickBooks field to any metric on your dashboard. Unmapped fields go to your Inbox for manual assignment.

Set up the webhook in QuickBooks

In your QuickBooks Online settings, go to Webhooks and add a new endpoint. Enter the Dashello webhook URL:

https://dashello.co/api/webhook/quickbooks?connector_id=your_connector_id

Replace your_connector_id with the ID from Step 1. Save the webhook endpoint in QuickBooks.

Alternatively, you can push data directly using the Dashello API from any middleware or custom integration:

curl https://dashello.co/api/ingest/metric \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dash_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "metric": "Total Income",
    "value": 85000,
    "source": "quickbooks"
  }'

Test and verify

Send a test event from QuickBooks (or use the API curl command above). Open your Dashello dashboard - your mapped metrics should update with the new data. If data doesn't appear in a mapped box, check your Inbox for unmapped events. Once verified, QuickBooks data will sync automatically.

Troubleshooting

Data sent but not appearing in dashboard

Check your Inbox in Dashello. If the QuickBooks field doesn't match a mapped metric box, data is stored there. Update your field mappings in Settings → Integrations.
