Use QuickBooks actions in HubSpot workflows

With the QuickBooks Online integration, you’re able to create QuickBooks invoices, estimates, and sales receipts using HubSpot workflows. 

Please note: QuickBooks actions in HubSpot workflows are only available for customers based in the United States. 

Contact and line item information in HubSpot is used to create invoices, sales estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks.

• For contacts: the First Name, Last Name and Email address contact properties are required to match a HubSpot contact record to a QuickBooks contact. A new contact will be created in QuickBooks if no match is found. If there are multiple contact records associated with the quote or deal record in HubSpot, the first associated contact will be used.
• For line items: line items in HubSpot must be associated to the quote or deal records enrolled in the workflow to create an invoice, sales estimate, or sales receipt in QuickBooks. HubSpot will match a line item in HubSpot with the product in QuickBooks. If no match is found, the invoice, sales estimate, or sales receipt will not be created. 

It is recommended that product sync in turned on in your QuickBooks settings, and QuickBooks products are used for deal and quite line items to ensure that an invoice, sales estimate, or sales receipt is created.
