Hey there,
Just a friendly heads up, we’re a bit limited on the access we have here in community and it’s always super helpful when we know the entirety of the workflow, the triggers and actions, names of the apps, and screenshots of the setup step with personal details removed. 🤗
So for example; "When this [trigger] happens in Jotform, do that [action] in Quickbooks."
In your case, it sounds like for every new form submission in Jotform you’d like to create an invoice in Quickbooks, does that sound about right?
If so, the New Form Submission would probably be the most applicable here based on what you’ve described so far. Your zap would probably look like:
- Jotform Trigger - New Form Submission
- Quickbooks Online Action - Create Invoice
Here’s a quick little guide on How to Get Started with JotForm along with another guide on how to Get Started with Quickbooks.
Since this is your first zap, I’ll also pop some resources below that may be useful if you’re just getting started with Zapier:

Hi
Welcome to the Zapier Community!
Can you please clarify the question about your Zap?
- Beginner
Sure. I do not understand what goes into the fields. Who is the Assignee email? What is the Invitation email all about? No idea what the Prefilled Field Permissions means?
This is my first tine setting up my Jotform to connect with Quickbooks and it’s Greek to me.

From your screenshot, it’s unclear what QBO Zap action you are trying to use.
Check the field descriptions for guidance.

I don’t understand what you’re saying.
I am trying to make my Jotform connect to QB so when customers order it will go to our QB Online.
The field descriptions aren’t helping because I don’t understand what an Assignee is. I don’t understand who, and why, I need to do an Invitation email. I don’t understand what a Prefilled Field Permission is. And, so goes the rest of it. It’s complicated without providing specifics. It’s not intuitive at all, at least for me.

I do not want customers to edit the form in QB. I have a link on my website that let’s customers place their orders easily. I need to keep that in place.
Can I simply make the orders they place populate into QB?

SHAZZAM! You nailed it! This is exactly what I am looking for.
So for example; "When this [trigger] happens in Jotform, do that [action] in Quickbooks." THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY HELPFUL!
THANK YOU!

Ok, I got past the first part, which I had wrong before. However, it looks like I will need more help because of all the different actions I will require. Not only creating an invoice in QB, but setting up people as new clients, updating existing clients, etc.

Hi
For what you’d like to accomplish, it sounds like a multi-step Zap will be most beneficial for you. I’m linking a great resource here, if you scroll further down the page, you can see a list of triggers and actions and what each of the options will do if you choose to include them in your setup.
I’d look into using, similar to what Christina mentioned:
- Trigger - New Form Submission [Jotform]
- Action - Find or Create Customer [Quickbooks]
- Action - Create Invoice [Quickbooks]
