I am trying to update an item column called “Amount Paid” with the amount paid by a customer in Quickbooks. I have been trying to use make.com but it seems like I can only update a specific item column with a specific value. I cannot update a column based on a parameter. Example: Invoice # is 1001 in Monday.com. Make.com looks up Invoice # in Quickbooks and returns amount paid on that invoice to Monday.com and populates the “Amount Paid” column.
To update a Monday.com column with QuickBooks invoice amounts paid, integrate the two platforms using a tool like Zapier or Integromat. Set up an automation that pulls the paid amount from QuickBooks and updates the corresponding Monday.com column whenever a payment is recorded.
@Rizwan86 FYI, Integromat was rebranded to Make.com (i.e., the OP is already trying to do what you’ve suggested, and has encountered an obstacle.)
@Charlie_F As Rehan said, that should be easily doable with Make.com—but their UI isn’t always intuitive! I’m also willing to take a look and point you in the right direction if that’d be helpful—you’re welcome to use the free consultation scheduling button on my website if interested. Either way, good luck!
I ended up just using the Integration for Quickbooks app. It does exactly what my client needs without having to do any additional manual updates in Make.com whenever a new customer, invoice or payment is made.
For anyone else looking for similar functionality, you should be aware of the following considerations when deciding whether to go with the same solution:
The Integration for Quickbooks is a third-party app developed by a company called Platform Pioneers LLC, available to install from the Monday marketplace.
It has its own subscription cost (in addition to any other costs related to your Monday account) - as of Sept 2024, it’s $95 - $145 per month, with discounts for annual billing.
In general, it’s important to be very cautious when it comes to having third-party companies process your sensitive data—like financials and PII.
