Query
Open the query editor and start querying by either selecting “Quickbooks Query” or “Account List” from the Analytics Options dropdown menu and write your query into the query editor
Quickbooks Query
It is a Quickbooks query operation to get details about a specific API entity. It can be used to query any QuickBooks entity. Docs here. If your query needs pagination, please specify STARTPOSITION as $C9_OFFSET_TO_INJECT_TO_URL token, MAXRESULTS as your page size (up to 1000).
For example,
Select Statement = SELECT * | count(*) FROM IntuitEntity
[WHERE WhereClause]
[ORDERBY OrderByClause]
[STARTPOSITION Number] [MAXRESULTS Number]
Array of results field name: QuickBooks Query response field name containing an array of results. It is required for pagination. For E.g. if the output contains “Customer”, then it should be: “QueryResponse.Customer”. Please leave it empty if you do not need pagination.
Click on the Preview button to analyze the results of your Query and fine-tune the desired output, if required.
Account List
This query returns a list object of all income accounts. Docs here.
For example, it will run such an API endpoint
BaseURL/v3/company/13XXXX6315/reports/AccountList?columns=account_name,account_type&account_type=Income
Click on the Preview button to analyze the results of your Query and fine-tune the desired output, if required.
