How to connect Podio and QuickBooks
Create a New Scenario to Connect Podio and QuickBooks
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Podio, QuickBooks, 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 Podio and QuickBooks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Podio and QuickBooks (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
