Tell quickbooks to create a PDF

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I am trying to automate the creation of entries in quickbooks. I haven’t started creating the workflow as I can’t find the options needed to do everything I need.
I’m currently working on the creation of the estimate.
I have the data stored in a spreadsheet and I think I can populate the estimate correctly.
The bit I’m struggling with is how to tell quickbooks to create the PDF copy of the estimate in the way it normally would. I need to store the PDF, print it and also email it, all as part of a separate process.
Is this possible using just n8n or would I need to initiate a different tool?

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

-n8n version:1.67.1
-Running n8n via npm
-Operating system: Mac or Windows

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @SpencerD

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :cake:

I am not too familiar with quickbooks but I don’t see why this shouldn’t be possible in n8n. I think quickbooks doesn’t provide a download option in their API though, but perhaps this could be an option for you:

You could build a workflow using our HTTP Request node to utilize both, the Quickbooks and Intuit API’s.
