1

Open the table where you want to use a QuickBooks action.

2

Add a new column by clicking the (+) plus symbol to the right of the table.

  • New columns added with the plus button will always appear on the right. If you’d like to add a column somewhere else in your data, you can select the dropdown menu on an existing column and choose Add column right. You can also click and drag columns to rearrange them.
3

Name your column.

4

Search for the QuickBooks action you want to use or navigate to Integrations → QuickBooks and select the action.

5

Configure the action fields based on the QuickBooks object and operation you’re performing. Depending on the action, you may need to create additional columns to store the results.

6

Select Save.

Working with JSON Responses

QuickBooks actions return data in JSON format. You may need to parse JSON response bodies to extract specific values. For more information about working with JSON data in Glide, check out our documentation on JSON.

Parsing data from JSON responses can require additional configuration. The complexity depends on the QuickBooks objects and data you’re working with.

Using the QuickBooks API

For advanced use cases, the Call QuickBooks API action allows you to make custom API requests. Learn more about Call API.

QuickBooks has its own API rate limits and usage restrictions based on your QuickBooks account. These limits still apply when using QuickBooks through Glide. Learn more about QuickBooks rate limits.
