Accounting Webhook Integration

Sync invoices with QuickBooks, Xero, or other accounting systems.

Advanced6 min readUpdated 2024-12-06

Generate an invoice in AwardLettr, then open QuickBooks and key the same line items in again so your books reflect the AR. That is the standard workflow for a lot of solo appraisers, and it is double entry of data you already entered once. Worse, the two systems drift out of sync the first time you change something on one side and forget the other.

A webhook closes that loop. AwardLettr generates the invoice, fires the data to your accounting system, and the invoice exists in both places with the same numbers. If you use external invoice numbers, the accounting system is the source of truth and AwardLettr puts the right number on the PDF. No more reconciliation headaches at month end.

Useful for any appraiser whose accountant or bookkeeper needs the books current in QuickBooks, Xero, or similar. Especially valuable for firms where the volume makes manual reentry impractical.
