“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
You can connect QuickBooks data to Google Sheets for real-time dashboard reporting using a direct API integration. This creates a live data pipeline that eliminates manual CSV exports and keeps your dashboards current.
Here’s how to establish real-time QuickBooks connectivity that automatically synchronizes your financial data for operational decision-making.
Establish live QuickBooks data connection using Coefficient
Coefficient provides native QuickBooks API connectivity that creates real-time data pipelines to Google Sheets. Unlike QuickBooks’ manual export process, Coefficient maintains live data synchronization with hourly refresh capabilities and manual update options.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up direct QuickBooks integration.
Install Coefficient and connect your QuickBooks account using Admin permissions. This creates a native API connection that eliminates manual data transfer delays and provides access to all QuickBooks objects and reports.
Step 2. Configure real-time refresh options.
Set up hourly automated refresh for near real-time updates. Add manual refresh buttons for immediate data updates when you need current information for time-sensitive decisions.
Step 3. Import real-time dashboard data sources.
Use “From QuickBooks Report” for standard reports like Transaction List and A/R Aging. Select “From Objects & Fields” to build custom real-time views with specific field selection and advanced filtering.
Step 4. Apply dynamic date filters.
Configure rolling real-time periods using dynamic date filters. This keeps your dashboards focused on current data while maintaining real-time connectivity without hitting API limits.
Step 5. Build operational dashboards.
Create Google Sheets visualizations for customer payment status, invoice aging analysis, and daily sales performance. These update automatically with your real-time data refresh schedule.
