QuickBooks Desktop and Airtable Integration

I am currently trying to integrate Quickbooks Pro Desktop with Airtable. In Theory, when a new (order) record is created in Airtable, I want my Quickbooks Pro Desktop to create a new invoice for that new order. Is this even possible? I've been reading so much on the Quickbook desktop's Web Connector but I it seems that its capabilities are quite limited. What suggestions would you give on how to go about this integration? I don't quite understand how to make Airtable's API compatible with the Web Connector.



Any suggestions are immensely appreciated.

  • Not really going to get a good answer here because you haven't shown any code/etc. so it's not really SO appropriate. BUT -- #1 - yes, it's possible. #2 - it's capabilities are NOT very limited once you understand how it works. #3 - you need to essentially write code to be a "bridge" or "converter" between the Airtable API and the Web Connector's SOAP API. You can't "make it compatible" - you need to write code to essentially act as a go-between to grab data from Airtable, convert it to the qbXML format QuickBooks understands, and then pass it to the Web Connector via the Web Connector API.
