How to connect Microsoft SQL Server and FreshBooks
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft SQL Server and FreshBooks
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Microsoft SQL Server, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft SQL Server or FreshBooks will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft SQL Server or FreshBooks, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Microsoft SQL Server Node

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft SQL Server, FreshBooks, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Microsoft SQL Server and FreshBooks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft SQL Server and FreshBooks (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft SQL Server and FreshBooks
Microsoft SQL Server + FreshBooks + Slack: This automation monitors for new or updated client entries in a Microsoft SQL Server database. When a new or updated client is detected, the flow checks for the client's existence in FreshBooks. If the client also exists in FreshBooks, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel.
FreshBooks + Microsoft SQL Server + Google Sheets: When a new invoice is created in FreshBooks, this automation inserts the invoice data as a new row in a Microsoft SQL Server database. The same invoice data is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for logging and analysis.
