How to Use Mappings in the QuickBooks Online Integration

Follow these steps to quickly map/remap ClockShark and QuickBooks employees and more so you can export time accurately

When you send information from ClockShark to QuickBooks Online, or vice versa, your data needs to be mapped correctly so that the right information is sent to the right place. For example, you can map an employee in ClockShark to an employee in QuickBooks to make sure their time is recorded correctly in both systems.

If you use the QuickBooks Online integration, you can choose to send data in either direction from both systems using automatic mapping.

You can also create mappings manually to have more control over your data.

Set up auto-mapping

If auto-mapping is set up, any items created in QuickBooks Online or ClockShark, depending on your auto-mapping direction, will be automatically mapped.
