QuickBooks + Slack
QuickBooks invoices in Slack, PDF included
Ask whether invoice 1042 is paid, or pull the QuickBooks PDF straight into the Slack thread. Bills and customer balances work the same way, and nobody asking needs a QuickBooks login.
Kipper is a Slack app sitting on a synced copy of your QuickBooks records: invoices, payments, bills, bill payments, customers, vendors, inventory, credit memos, and vendor credits, all kept fresh by webhooks. In Slack you can also request the invoice PDF itself. Class is the grouping field when you filter a total.

How it works

Webhooks keep it current
Invoice, payment, and bill changes in QuickBooks notify Kipper so Slack answers stay near-instant.
Decide who can see invoices and PDFs

Add the Slack app
Install Kipper, then ask in a channel or DM, including requests like βsend the PDF for invoice 1042.β
