Latenode

Automatically create and manage FreshBooks invoices

This template creates a FreshBooks invoice when your billing source posts a payload. A webhook starts the run.

JavaScript maps client email, line items, and due date. FreshBooks finds the client, creates one if needed, then creates the invoice. Connect FreshBooks and point the source at the Latenode webhook URL.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

FreshBooks looks up the client by email and creates a client when none matches.

FreshBooks creates the invoice on that client with the mapped line items.

3

Map client and line items

In JavaScript, return email, line-item descriptions, amounts, and due date from the payload.
