A connection to your Quickbooks account is needed so we can sync it with our platform.

There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

▪️ In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).

▪️ While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

In this documentation, we will explain how to create a connection in “My apps” section, it is essentially the same as when creating it on-the-go.

  • On the left panel of Wiresk user interface, go to “My apps” and click on the (+) button. 
  • Search “Quickbooks” in the search field or scroll down the list of apps and choose the Quickbooks icon.

  • Select the checkbox Quickbooks (permissions for authorization).
  • Select the “Authorize” button. You will be redirected to Quickbooks connection page.

If you haven’t logged in yet, you’ll need to connect to your QuickBooks account by entering your credentials and completing the identity verification steps.

Now that Quickbooks is linked to Wiresk, you’re ready to start building Flows.

How to create a Flow (select to expand ↓ )
  • Select your Group, then on the Flow management screen click on “Create Flow”.

A – Select the Trigger

Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
  • Name the Flow that you want to create.
  • Add your Trigger by clicking on the red plus (+) Add button.
  • On the Trigger selection screen, search your app or select it from the list below the screen.

  • Select your preferred Trigger on the next screen and customize its settings (for Quickbooks Triggers, refer to the Trigger settings below).

As mentioned in “How to connect your app to Wiresk” above, during your Trigger settings, you can create a new connection to your apps at this stage.

B – Add an HTTP Trigger to your Flow

An HTTP Trigger allows you to manually activate your Flows.

  • Click on the red plus button (+) again to add a Trigger for testing your Flow, then click on the button “HTTP Trigger”.

C – Add a Method to your Flow

The Method will perform a specific task on a particular app or service you’ve connected to Wiresk like get info or send emails.

You can add at least 1 or multiple Methods for complex Flows (a maximum of 255 Methods).

  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) next to the Trigger icon.

If you want to build a complex Flow, Wiresk offers a selection of tools at your disposal. Refer to Wiresk’s Tools

To add Tools in your Flow, Follow the same step as adding the Methods. On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) then just click on the “Tool” tab and select the Tool that you want to add.


What will start your automation…

Setting up the recurrence rule or scheduler of your Trigger (if the Trigger is not a Webhook):

  • Regular intervals will monitor your Trigger by intervals in minute
  • Daily recurrence will monitor your Trigger by day and hour
  • Monthly recurrence will monitor your Trigger every month on a defined date and hour
  • Yearly recurrence will monitor your Trigger on a specific date and hour every year
  • Specific dates will start your Trigger on specific dates

After setting up the Trigger parameters (refer to how to define your parameters in the steps below), click on “Get sample”.

The “Get sample” allows you to extract a subset of data for validation. The data will be used to MAP your Method parameters according to your Flow. Refer to FIELD MAPPING documentation.

These Triggers will start your Flow automatically at a specific time or intervals instead of being triggered real-time event (Webhooks).

After setting up your Flow, you can choose to:

  • Run once”, your Flow will run only a single time. You can use this function to test your Flow. Refer to how to set up an HTTP Trigger, in the “Create a Flow” step.
  • Run Scheduler” will automate your Flows with the recurrence rule you previously defined.


For more details, refer to How to run a Flow tutorial in our Help Center.
 
If you are using a Webhook Trigger, the Flow will initiate automatically when a webhook is received from your connected apps. This means that the Flow is automated without a scheduler and will run until you deactivate the Flow manually. Refer to Webhook documentation in our Help Center.
