How to record a payment against a bill in QBO using Zapier

Is there any way to use Zapier to record a payment against a bill in QBO? I can find an action to update a bill but there seemingly isn’t a way to update the bill status to paid. I tried looking at the “create payment” Zapier action but this only seems to let me record a payment against an invoice as opposed to a bill. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi ​@superhub2025,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Zapier community!

 

Zapier's integration with QuickBooks Online does not support the ability to directly record a payment against a bill or update a bill's status to paid. The "Update Bill" action allows you to update specific fields of a bill but does not allow you to change the status to paid. As you've noted, the "Create Payment" action is designed to record a payment against an invoice, not a bill.

 

I understand how useful this feature would be, and I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. I recommend contacting QuickBooks Online support to see if they have any workarounds or if they plan to add this feature to their API in the future. Additionally, consider submitting a feature request directly to our Zapier support. While we can't guarantee when or if this feature will be implemented, we certainly appreciate feedback and suggestions from our users.

 

Thank you for your understanding and patience. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
