Say Goodbye to Manual Data Entry: The Magic of Automation

Imagine never typing client details into your accounting software again. This add-on eliminates tedious manual data entry by automatically transferring client data and invoice information from forms to FreshBooks Classic. For example, client information submitted through a form seamlessly populates their profile and creates a draft invoice. This saves valuable time and minimizes the risk of errors. Consider a scenario where a misplaced decimal point led to a massive overcharge for a client. The add-on prevents these mistakes by ensuring accurate data transfer directly from the form to your accounting system. Enjoy time savings and reduced errors.

Client Creation on Autopilot: From Lead to Ledger

Imagine a potential client completes a form on your website. With the right setup, that submission instantly transforms into a new client within your accounting software. This is client creation on autopilot. When someone submits a form, specific fields are mapped to corresponding fields in your accounting system. For instance, the form's "Name" field becomes the client's name, the "Email" field populates their email address, and the "Company Name" field fills in the business name. The "Address" and "Phone Number" fields can also be directly transferred. This process streamlines onboarding, eliminating the need to manually enter client information. A seamless client onboarding experience projects professionalism and efficiency. It frees up your time to focus on core business activities rather than tedious administrative tasks. By automating client creation, you can start billing clients faster and improve your overall cash flow.

Invoice Generation Made Easy: Get Paid Faster!

Streamline your billing process with automated invoice generation. Transform form submissions into professional invoices within your accounting system. This minimizes manual data entry and accelerates your payment cycles. After a form is submitted, the add-on can automatically create a new invoice. You can use customizable invoice templates to maintain a consistent brand image. Map form fields to invoice line items. Control descriptions, quantities, and prices with ease. This direct integration greatly reduces administrative overhead. Imagine no more copy-pasting data between systems.

If there's an error in the submitted form data, you have options. First, correct the form submission through the forms interface. Then, update the corresponding invoice. The system allows manual adjustments to invoices even after automated creation. Review the generated invoice before sending it to the client. Ensure accuracy. This blend of automation and manual control provides a robust and reliable invoicing solution. You will improve your cash flow.

Customization and Flexibility: Tailoring the Add-on to Your Needs

The add-on's power lies in its customization. You can map form fields to FreshBooks Classic fields. This precise control ensures data flows correctly. Utilize the field mapping interface to connect your form questions to the appropriate fields. Need to send data to custom fields? The add-on supports that as well, extending the standard FreshBooks Classic data structure.

Conditional logic adds another layer of customization. Show or hide fields based on user input, and only send relevant data. This keeps your FreshBooks Classic data clean and focused. Apply discounts or taxes dynamically based on the user's selections. This ensures accurate invoicing reflecting each customer's specific needs. Further refine data transfer using available filters. Modify the data before it reaches FreshBooks Classic, perform calculations or data formatting. These customization options offer a tailored experience. The goal is for streamlined accounting processes.
