Generate Invoices and Send Reminders for Customers with Jotform and QuickBooks

This workflow automates the entire process of receiving a product/service order, checking or creating a customer in QuickBooks Online (QBO), generating an invoice, emailing it — all triggered by a form submission (via Jotform), and sending invoice reminders.

How It Works

  1. Receive Submission
  • Triggered when a user submits a form.
  • Collects data like customer details, selected product/service, etc.
  1. Check If Customer Exists
  • Searches QBO to determine if the customer already exists.
  • If Customer Exists: Update customer details (e.g., billing address).
  • If Customer Doesn’t Exist: Create a new customer in QBO.
  1. Get The Item
  • Retrieves the selected product or service from QBO.
  1. Create The Invoice
  • Generates a new invoice for the customer using the item selected.
  1. Send The Invoice
  • Automatically sends the invoice via email to the customer.
  1. Store The Invoice In DB
  • Stores the needed invoice details in the DB.
  1. Send Reminders
  • Every day at 8 AM, the automation checks each invoice to decide whether to:
    • send a reminder email,
    • skip and send it later, or
    • delete the invoice from the DB (if it's paid or all reminders have been sent).
