How to connect MOHID Zapier App with QuickBooks Online

This guide outlines the process of integrating the MOHID system with Zapier to automate data synchronization with other applications. By connecting MOHID to Zapier, you can automatically send data, such as donors, donation transactions, and financial transactions, to platforms like QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, Google Sheets, and more.

What is Zapier?

Zapier is a web-based automation tool that connects different applications to create automated workflows, called "Zaps." A Zap consists of a Trigger and one or more Actions.

Trigger: An event that initiates a Zap (e.g., "A new donation is added in MOHID").
Action: The event that a Zap performs after the trigger occurs (e.g., "Create a new row in Google Sheets").

IMPORTANT:

The Financial Management module should be enabled in your MOHID System in order to sync sales receipt, deposits etc. data with QBO.
Only records created or updated after subscribing to the MOHID Zapier App will be sent to Zapier.
Always test your Zaps thoroughly and map fields correctly before publishing to ensure data integrity and prevent errors. If not configured properly, data may be lost from the time the trigger fires until the issue is resolved.
Make sure to complete the backup of your data before begin syncing with Zapier app integrated with MOHID system.
Make sure that all Bank Account names in MOHID match exactly with those in QuickBooks Online or create the accounts in QBO to match the ones from Mohid.
Make sure "Undeposited Funds" account name in MOHID matches exactly with the name in QuickBooks Online. The account type & detail type in QBO should be "Other Current Assets".
Make sure "Accounts Payable (A/P)" account name in MOHID matches exactly with the name in QuickBooks Online. The account type & detail type should be "Accounts Payable (A/P)".
Make sure that all Expense account names in MOHID match exactly with those in QuickBooks Online.
Make sure that all Income account names in MOHID match exactly with those in QuickBooks Online.
