Make FreshBooks project context available by webhook
Give a trusted backend a simple way to request project names from FreshBooks through Notis, with business confirmation included in the instruction.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Projects
Tool to list all projects for a business. use after confirming the business id.
Why this helps
External tools often need project context that would otherwise require a person to switch apps and relay it.
- Reduce manual relays between tools and accounting.
- Confirm the FreshBooks business before listing projects.
- Route the result to a known reporting channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect FreshBooks to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal with one instruction to confirm the business and list its FreshBooks projects when the webhook is called.
- 3Configure your authorized backend to send a request to the automation's incoming webhook.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one real backend request.
- 5Check that the returned project list belongs to the intended business.
Questions about this workflow
Can a webhook request any project list?
