How to find QBO Tags filed on invoices for Google Sheets

Hi ​@tnelson 

This may be why… (see screenshot)

Hey ​@tnelson,

I think tags are already deprecated by Quickbooks. Try moving to custom fields instead of tags. Hope it helps!

You probably won’t see Tags as a normal invoice field in Zapier.

QuickBooks has been moving away from legacy Tags toward custom fields, and Zapier’s QuickBooks Online integration does not expose every invoice field in every trigger/action. Intuit’s current docs point users toward custom fields/tagging changes, while Zapier’s QBO app only surfaces the fields the integration supports.

So if you can’t find it in the available fields, it’s likely not being returned by that Zap trigger. In practice, the usual options are:

• switch to using a custom field in QBO instead of Tags

• refresh/retest the QBO trigger with a very recent invoice

• if you specifically need Tags, use a Webhook/API step instead of the standard Zapier field list

So this is probably a Zapier/QBO field availability limitation, not you missing it in the setup.

Hi there ​@tnelson 👋 Have you had a chance to try Sparsh’s and devtrestllc’s suggestion of using a custom field for the tags yet?

Let us know if it works when you do, want to make sure you’re all set!
