Quickbooks
Automatic Invoice Sync from FGF to QBO
We have enhanced our existing QBO integration further to create an invoice in QBO when an invoice is marked as sent inside FGF.
This will create a replica of the sent invoice, along with the total amount (including taxes and discounts) on QBO for frictionless accounting sync
Any updates made on the invoice inside FGF will be updated on QBO. This will include any invoice status change transitions inside FGF, such as the invoice is paid by the customer, or invoice is voided on FGF or any further discount is added upon customer request
This will not sync existing invoices already created within FGF. Only new invoices created from now on will get synced inside QBO. Although, any updates to an existing invoice will sync that invoice inside QBO as well
If a customer exists inside QBO with the same email id with which the transaction is processed, we will update the sales receipt corresponding to the same customer inside QB
If the customer is not present, we will create a new customer against the email ID with which the transaction is processed
Sub-accounts can connect their QBO account by navigating to the sub-account Settings -> Integrations. This will start working for businesses who already have their QBO account connected without any additional step requirement
Businesses will now be able to configure the Send Proposal/Estimate action inside the workflows to automatically send a document based upon a trigger
Users will be able to make use of the templates created inside the Proposals and Estimates module to define the document details that need to go out to the customer.
Business users will be able to configure the action name, select the From User to define the sender details and choose a template from one of the templates created inside Proposals and Estimates
The default/custom template configured inside the proposal and estimate settings will be used automatically to send the document from workflows as well
This fulfills use cases like automatically sending proposals after opportunity status is changed, or a tag is attached to a contact, or using any other trigger
This will also allow achieving the use case where the business wants to send out proposals to potential clients with one signature field attached to one of the business users and the other for the potential client. They can create proposal templates with a signature element assigned to the business user and leave the unassigned signature element will automatically get assigned to the potential lead

Contacts
And/Or logic in Smartlist Filters
We now have added support for OR logic in filters along with the existing AND logic
What’s New?
OR Logic is supported for filters in contacts and smartlists
Support added for “search” in all the single-select, multi-select, checkbox, radio button, timezone fields within the filters
The new Filter structure is:
First level/group of filters can be created with the AND logic
These groups of filters can be further created with OR logic among them
What happens to my existing smartlists?
The existing smartlists followed the AND logic so they will remain as it is and will just be the first group of AND filters without any change.
Followers/Multiple Users for a Contact
We are excited to announce one of the most asked feature in Contacts. Add Followers to your contacts and give access to multiple users in your team.
What’s New?
A new field while editing contact in contact details page- “Followers”
This is a multi-select dropdown field that shows all the Users in your sub-account
Choose up to 10 users to follow a contact
Contacts that you are a follower for will be visible when “only assigned data is ON”
Followers follow the same permissions as owners ie access, view, and edit the contact like an owner
New Dropdown for Owners – Search owners in dropdown based on name or email
Things to keep in mind:
When “only assigned data is ON” – Followers cannot change owner of the contact (true for User type – Sub-account USER)
