Quickbooks

Last updated October 13, 2025 · View as Markdown

Quickbooks_logo.svg QuickBooks is accounting software designed for individuals and organizations to keep track of income and expenses. It offers different accounting modules such as invoicing, accounting, payments, and more.

In order to integrate Quickbooks with Relyance AI you will need Client ID and Client Secret and follow an Oauth2 flow.

In Quickbooks:

  1. Login to your Quickbooks account.
  2. Go here to your developer account (sign up or sign in if need be): https://developer.intuit.com/
  3. Select the Dashboard link on the toolbar right-side.
  4. Click the + Create an app button.
  5. Select QuickBooks Online and Payments.
  6. Fill out the resulting dialog with: Name: Provide a meaningful name (e.g. Relyance Scan) Scope: com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting
  7. Click Create app.
  8. This will bring you to the newly created app development page. Under Development Settings click Keys & credentials from the left-hand navigation menu. Since this app is not being published to the Quickbooks app store, we can use the development keys.
  9. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret to be used in Relyance.
  10. Scroll down on the page to Redirect URIs and update the link to be: https://root.relyance.ai/api/oauth2
  11. Click the Save button.

  1. Congratulations, you are now connected to Quickbooks.

If the connection reports Connected but returns nothing

These are the ways this integration comes back empty without reporting an error. Generated from the integration catalog, so it tracks what the connection actually asks for.

  1. Authorised, then empty. The connection carries an authorisation, not a password: it stops returning data if the account that granted it loses access, its own permissions narrow, or the grant is revoked at the vendor. None of that reports an error here -- the connection keeps its last status until the next scan.
  2. A credential rotated at the vendor is not picked up here. Client Secret is stored when you save the connection, so regenerating the value at the vendor breaks the next scan until it is re-pasted here. Recording the expiry on the connection means Relyance warns you before it lapses.

Authentication methods and fields

Pick one of these under Authentication Method on the connection wizard's Authentication step. This table is generated from the integration catalog, so it always matches what the form actually asks for.

Method Required Optional
Oauth2 / App Token (Dev Sandbox) Client ID, Client Secret (secret)
Oauth2 / App Token Client ID, Client Secret (secret)

Manage this integration with Terraform

Connections for this integration can be managed as code with the Relyance Terraform provider. Non-secret fields go in auth.params; secret fields go in auth.secrets_wo, which is write-only — never stored in Terraform state. Rotate secrets by bumping auth.secrets_wo_version.

OAuth (browser authorization) — Oauth2 / App Token (Dev Sandbox)

The OAuth (browser authorization) — Oauth2 / App Token (Dev Sandbox) method uses a browser authorization flow, so the connection is created in the Relyance app. Manage it in Terraform afterwards by importing it (terraform import relyance_integration_connection.example quickbooks/<connection_id>) or reading it with the relyance_integration_connection data source.
