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

How Slack gets QuickBooks invoices and PDFs

Connect QuickBooks, enable webhooks, install the Slack app, then ask by invoice number.

01

Connect QuickBooks

A QuickBooks admin authorizes Kipper. Access is read-only, so Kipper cannot edit invoices or bills.

02

Webhooks keep it current

Invoice, payment, and bill changes in QuickBooks notify Kipper so Slack answers stay near-instant.

03

Decide who can see invoices and PDFs

Permission sets control which Slack users can query customers, bills, or download a PDF.

04

Add the Slack app

Install Kipper, then ask in a channel or DM, including requests like β€œsend the PDF for invoice 1042.”

How Kipper handles access

Read-only. Permissioned. Logged.

  • Kipper never creates, updates, or deletes QuickBooks records.
  • You choose what each user or team can see.
  • Every question is written to an audit log.
  • Pricing is the same on every interface. See plans.

FAQ

QuickBooks invoices and PDFs in Slack

Webhook freshness, Class filters, and how the PDF lands in Slack.

Customers, invoices, payments, vendors, bills, bill payments, inventory, credit memos, and vendor credits. Grouping uses Class. P&L and balance sheet reporting are outside what Kipper reads.
Webhooks push invoice and payment changes through, so updates are typically available within minutes.
No. A QuickBooks admin connects once, and the rest of the team simply asks in Slack.
