Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
N/A	`httpInterface`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
HTTP / Webhook	`http`	`app`	This component uses the HTTP / Webhook app.

Trigger Authentication#

The HTTP / Webhook API does not require authentication.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Quickbooks	`quickbooks`	`app`	This component uses the Quickbooks app.
Vendor Ref Value	`vendorRefValue`	`string`	Reference to the vendor for this transaction. Query the Vendor name list resource to determine the appropriate Vendor object for this reference. Use `Vendor.Id` from that object for `VendorRef.value`.
Line Items	`lineItems`	`string[]`	Individual line items of a transaction. Valid Line types include: `ItemBasedExpenseLine` and `AccountBasedExpenseLine`. One minimum line item required for the request to succeed. E.g `[ { "DetailType": "AccountBasedExpenseLineDetail", "Amount": 200.0, "AccountBasedExpenseLineDetail": { "AccountRef": { "value": "1" } } } ]`
Vendor Reference Name	`vendorRefName`	`string`	Reference to the vendor for this transaction. Query the Vendor name list resource to determine the appropriate Vendor object for this reference. Use `Vendor.Name` from that object for `VendorRef.name`.
Currency Reference Value	`currencyRefValue`	`string`	A three letter string representing the ISO 4217 code for the currency. For example, `USD`, `AUD`, `EUR`, and so on. This must be defined if multicurrency is enabled for the company. Multicurrency is enabled for the company if `Preferences.MultiCurrencyEnabled` is set to `true`. Read more about multicurrency support here. Required if multicurrency is enabled for the company.
Currency Reference Name	`currencyRefName`	`string`	The full name of the currency.
Minor Version	`minorVersion`	`string`	Use the `minorversion` query parameter in REST API requests to access a version of the API other than the generally available version. For example, to invoke minor version 1 of the JournalEntry entity, issue the following request: `https://quickbooks.api.intuit.com/v3/company/<realmId>/journalentry/entityId?minorversion=1`

Action Authentication#

Quickbooks uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Quickbooks account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Quickbooks and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Quickbooks API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
