Adding a QuickBooks Online REST API connection

By adding a QuickBooks Online REST API connection, you authorize Boomi Integration to access QuickBooks Online data.

Before you begin

To complete this task, you must have an authorized Boomi Integration as a QuickBooks REST API Application and your OAuth Consumer Key and OAuth Consumer Secret.

About this task

QuickBooks Online REST API users need to authorize (using OAuth) Integration’s access to their QuickBooks Online data. You can do this by creating a QuickBooks connection that uses the Online REST API.

Procedure

1. In the Boomi Integration QuickBooks connection component, select the QuickBooks Online REST API 2013 edition.

2. Enter your OAuth Consumer Key.

3. In the Consumer Secret field, select Click to Set, enter your Consumer Secret, and click OK.

4. In the Access Token field, click Generate.

   The Generate OAuth Access Tokens dialog opens. The page referenced by the link in this dialog opens automatically in a new browser window.

5. Optional: If the browser does not allow pop-ups, open the link manually.

6. On the external application page, type your sign-in credentials.

7. Choose the QuickBooks company (boomi.com), and click Authorize.

   You receive a PIN and Company ID. Make a note of both because you need them in the following steps.

8. Copy the PIN from the external application into the PIN field in the Generate OAuth Access Tokens dialog.

9. Click Next.

   The Generate OAuth Access Tokens dialog closes and populates the Access Token, Token Secret, and Token Expiration Date fields.

10. Enter the Company ID.

11. Click Save.

Results

After saving the connection and using it in a deployed process, its OAuth access token is available whenever Integration needs to access QuickBooks data.

The connection’s access token is valid until the date shown in the Token Expiration Date field. You can generate a new access token at any time and redeploy it in a process. A new access token does not affect the status of any existing tokens.
