How it works
You can set up this integration via Zapier, a tool that automates workflows by connecting apps — without writing code. (Note: A paid Zapier plan may be required.) Alternatively, your IT/Developer resource or third-party integration service provider can reference MaintainX’s API documentation and configure the integration for you.
STEP 1:
Visit Zapier and sign in to your existing account, or sign up for a new one.
STEP 2:
Zapier enables you to set up integrations based on triggers and actions (called “Zaps”).
For example, you can create a Zap that enables you to generate an invoice in FreshBooks from a completed work order in MaintainX:
Select the trigger app and event:
- App = MaintainX
- Event = New Category on Work Order
Then select the action app and event:
- App = FreshBooks
- Event = Create Invoice
STEP 3:
Follow the instructions to ensure you get all the information you need for your invoice. For example, this can include:
- Time to complete
- Hours
- Parts
- Company name
- Location
- Billing address
STEP 4:
Test your Zap. Verify that your trigger and action are set up correctly. Rename your Zap so it can be easily identified in Zapier.
STEP 5:
Publish your Zap. With MaintainX and FreshBooks in sync, you can start auto-generating invoices based on completed work orders.
Note: Additional triggers and actions can be accessed via the dropdowns in Zapier. Follow the instructions to achieve your desired integration with MaintainX.
Requirements
- Must have a FreshBooks plan.
- Must have MaintainX's Premium or Enterprise Plan.
