Creating an expense in QuickBooks Online from Airtable: “required param missing” errors

Hi, I used Zapier to create accounting entries from Airtable for over one year. And recently when I try to create a QBO expense in one zaps, it always returned “required param missing”, I tried so many times and even hardcoded, it didn’t work. I never tried this Creating Expense event before, can someone help me?

Let me declare my zap: the trigger is when a record enters a view in one Airtable base, and the first step is Find a Customer in QBO, and the key is the customer name from the trigger. This step has no issues when tested. And the second step is Creating Expense to the customer, I set the customer type as Customer, and use customer id from the step1 and the amount comes from the trigger. But it failed.

Thanks for your help!

Hi there, ​@arron_lsm—just checking in to see how things are going. Were you able to get rid of that “required param missing” error?

If so, it’d be great if you could share what the fix was—it might help others in the Community who run into the same issue. 🙏

And if you’re still stuck, no worries at all! Feel free to share some screenshots as Troy mentioned (please blur or remove any personal details like names, emails etc.) and we’ll be happy to take a look.
