Watch our video walk-through:


If you have already integrated Quickbooks Online:

  • Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the Truss dashboard

  • Click 'Settings'

  • Navigate to 'Integrations'

  • Toggle Automated Invoices to 'On'.- If you wish to prevent the automatic sending of invoices, toggle Automated Invoices to 'Off'. This allows you to manage invoice sending manually.

  • When 'Off', you can manage invoices manually and sync outstanding ones from QuickBooks Online by using the manual "Re-Sync" option, providing greater control over updates.

  • With Automated Receivables toggled on, you can also customize relevant notifications from the 'Notifications' section in your settings.

  • Adjust email settings to your preferences.

    • "Automated Invoices Reconciled"

      • When 'On', this setting will send email notifications to that user once an invoices has been paid.

      • Email notifications will only send to the user who set up the Quickbooks Online notifications within Truss.

    Troubleshooting:
