Before you start your QuickBooks Desktop One Time Setup, make sure you go through this checklist to ensure your setup is supported to ensure we can Automatically run your integrations daily.

Before you start:

• You must be logged out of all Microsoft accounts before you log into Autymate using Microsoft corporate accounts.

• Important note: if you should receive an error message or failure claim during Microsoft Authentication on login, please re-try authentication once more.

• QuickBooks must be 2020 or greater (Intuit is sunsetting our access to older versions of 2019 for the SDK ), so please update using the one-stop-shop for up to 40% discounts on QuickBooks if you need to upgrade. Please note that 2019 will be supported until September 30, 2022, by Autymate.

• If you log in via the Autymate website and see a banner that reads “New version is available,” select Refresh.

• Please do not import the previous day when you set up the integration. When you create an autymate, the last import will be loaded automatically. So you can observe how it works after you set it up. The integration will run every day after 5 AM PT.

• Make sure that QuickBooks is running and you do not have any pop-ups open in QuickBooks Desktop.
• Be sure to install Autymate on the computer where QuickBooks Desktop is located and where it can access the QuickBooks Desktop company file.
• Install the app on a PC that runs all the time as the process runs as a background process.
• Set up the integration with QuickBooks Desktop using an Admin user.
• The Autymate website also hosts video training materials for setting up your account and installing Autymate integration.
