Track your FreshBooks invoices in Bootstrap

October 1st, 2008 Kevin

Since launching a few months ago, customers have been asking for the ability to track invoices in addition to payments received. In keeping with our goal to be the simplest and most open accounting and bookkeeping software for small businesses, today we released an easy-to-use integration with FreshBooks’ online invoicing application.

By simply entering two pieces of information about your FreshBooks account, you will enable Bootstrap to regularly download all of your invoices, payments and clients directly from FreshBooks. Now, you can not only track the money that you’ve been paid, but also keep tabs on money you’ve earned but haven’t yet received.

Just go to the settings tab and click on the FreshBooks menu item. Once you check the box to enable FreshBooks invoicing, all you need to do is enter your FreshBooks login ID and API token (just follow the on-screen help to learn where to find this.) That’s all there is to it.

    Now it’s getting serious! I love this as I use Freshbooks for invoicing. Setting up was extremely simple. Now I can’t wait for other features. Thanks!

    Hey I use freshbooks and love the intergation. Why don’t you also synch up expenses?

    Hey Dean, thanks for the great feedback and question. Right now, FreshBooks doesn’t expose expenses in their API, so we can’t grab them. However, lots of customers have been asking for it and FreshBooks is aware of the feedback, so we’re hoping they’ll include them in the next update to the API.

    Thanks for the explanation. Another Question:

    is there a way to import expenses?

    We don’t have it yet, but it’s something we’re working on. Stay tuned!
