Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring QuickBooks, ConvertAPI, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy."

Depending on your setup, data should flow between QuickBooks and ConvertAPI (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect QuickBooks and ConvertAPI
QuickBooks + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a new invoice is created in QuickBooks, it's automatically converted to a PDF file using ConvertAPI and then saved to a specified folder in Google Drive for easy access and archiving.
ConvertAPI + QuickBooks + Airtable: When a file is converted by ConvertAPI, the automation finds the relevant QuickBooks record and then creates a new record in Airtable, linking to both the converted document and the QuickBooks entry for comprehensive tracking.
