Great news for Google Apps users! The FreshBooks for Google Apps integration has been updated and is now available in the Google Apps Marketplace. If you were using the older version of the Google Apps integration you will have already been moved to the new one.
What’s New?
The app still has single sign on so you don’t have to remember multiple user names and passwords – log in directly from your Google Apps account.
With the update you can now also say goodbye to adding clients manually or dealing with messy CSV files. Now you can import all your Google contacts into FreshBooks as clients as well as your Google users as staff.
I’m not a current user of the FreshBooks for Google Apps integration. How do I get it?
Click here to go to the FreshBooks listing in the Google Apps Marketplace and click the “Integrate with Google Apps” button in the top-right – you’ll need to login to your Google Apps account if you haven’t already.
In the new window click the blue “Continue” button.
Check the box to agree to the Terms of Service and hit the blue “Accept” Button
Click the “Additional app setup” link.
This new screen allows you to link your FreshBooks account. If you’re currently logged into FreshBooks, it should automatically find the account. Otherwise, to connect an existing FreshBooks account, click the blue “Log In” link below the green button.
Enter the administrator’s email address for your FreshBooks account and click the “Find My Account” button
Select your Account and hit the green ‘Login’ button.
Enter your username and password, and click the green ‘Connect My Account’ button
You’ll be brought into your FreshBooks account. A new window will open giving you a list of all your clients. Select the clients you want to import and click the “Add Clients to my Account” button. Don’t want to import clients? Click the blue “skip this for now” link.
Now you’re set up and good to go! The next time you’re ready to login using Google Apps, either select the FreshBooks App from your Google Apps launcher, or click the ‘Login with Google Apps’ button on your FreshBooks login page.
