How this automation works

Automatically create a new QuickBooks Online customer when you add a contact to your iPhone. This Applet runs every time a new contact is added in iOS Contacts and copies that information into QuickBooks Online to create a customer record. Perfect for professionals and businesses who want to keep their customer lists updated effortlessly across both apps.
