Quickbooks Time Connection Setup

Finding Your Quickbooks Time API Credentials

To connect Toolstream to Quickbooks Time, you need to create a dedicated API application within your Quickbooks Time account. This will provide you with a Client ID and Client Secret.

1. Log in and Navigate to Add-ons

Log into your Quickbooks Time account as an administrator.
In the left-hand navigation menu, go to Feature Add-ons > Manage Add-ons.

2. Install the API Add-on

In the list of add-ons, find API and click Install.
After installation, the API option will appear under the Feature Add-ons menu. Click it.

3. Create a New Application

On the API preferences page, click the Add a new application button.

4. Configure Your Application

Name: Give your application a descriptive name, like Toolstream Integration.
Description: Briefly describe its purpose.
OAuth Redirect URI: This is a critical step. You must copy the Redirect URI provided by Toolstream in the connection form and paste it here. It will look something like https://YOUR_APP_URL/oauth/callback.

5. Get Your Credentials

After you save the application details, Quickbooks Time will display the Client ID and Client Secret.
Copy these two values. You will need to enter them into the Toolstream administrator settings for the Quickbooks Time tool.

You are now ready to complete the connection in Toolstream!
