Google Sheets to FreshBooks integration

Your spreadsheet of invoices, booked in FreshBooks

CRM Connector reads your Google Sheet, or an Excel or CSV file, and books every client, invoice and estimate in FreshBooks, with the line items and the same total. Edit a row and the change follows, a paid one with its payment.

  • Google sign in, or an Excel or CSV upload
  • FreshBooks stays the system of record

It happens in Google Sheets, then in FreshBooks

  • A new row

    • Looked for in FreshBooks on the exact email and updated when found.
    • Otherwise a new client is created.
  • Rows with the same email

    Rows that share the key column you picked, an email by default, make one contact, so a customer listed on several rows is never created twice.

  • A cell changes

    The same change is made to the FreshBooks client on the next sync, where FreshBooks takes it.

  • A row is deleted

    The client stays in FreshBooks: a sync never deletes.
