02The adapter

A Connectify-owned FreshBooks adapter, not a packaged connector

We collapse that workflow by keeping the FreshBooks adapter inside our own runtime, monitored by our SRE rotation and updated as FreshBooks ships breaking changes. That means the field maps, sync cadences, and replay rules are shaped to your exact data model — including Retainer schedule editor inside Connectify Admin and Expense capture surfaced inside Connectify Finance. For teams in Chicago, the difference shows up the first time the upstream API throws a 500 — the adapter retries, journals the failure, and never silently swallows a transaction.

Where FreshBooks usually breaks — and how the adapter holds

The recurring tax on growth shows up as reconstructing what changed after a vendor pushed a silent schema update. Our team closes that gap by mapping every payload through a versioned schema layer with explicit lineage — every record can be traced from the FreshBooks originating event down to the field that wrote it, so the warehouse team stops chasing emails. The adapter also ships with Per-client P&L exporter for owner reporting so the runtime can keep up when Chicago-based teams push volume spikes during seasonal peaks.

Built for Chicago operators — not a generic SaaS template

Chicago sits inside a hardened base of industrial manufacturers running multi-shift operations — that shapes how Connectify configures the FreshBooks adapter for teams in the metro. Local payroll calendars, Illinois tax codes, and the specific cadence Chicago accountants close their books all influence default sync schedules. Pair that with Retainer schedule editor inside Connectify Admin and the FreshBooks surface stops being a vendor obligation and becomes a quiet utility your team forgets is running.

Commercial terms — one flat monthly plan, no setup fee

Connectify charges a monthly retainer sized to your message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, and no setup fee to get started. The FreshBooks adapter goes live only after it is reconciled and signed off by the team that will operate it in Chicago. A one-page exit clause hands you the code if you ever leave, so Connectify keeps the adapter working in production to keep your business.

05FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What happens if FreshBooks changes their API after we go live?

    Our SRE team monitors FreshBooks change announcements and rolls compatibility updates inside our maintenance retainer. If a breaking change ships, we own the migration; you don't pay extra to stay current and you don't field calls from the vendor.

  2. What does pricing look like?

    The FreshBooks adapter runs on a flat monthly retainer sized to message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, no setup fee, and a one-page exit clause.

  3. How is data security handled?

    Tokens and credentials live inside a hardware-backed secret store with audit logging on every read. The FreshBooks adapter runs on isolated workers with deny-by-default egress, and every message is replayable from a tamper-evident journal for downstream forensics.

  4. Do we own the integration code at the end?

    Yes. The Connectify FreshBooks adapter ships with full source escrow rights — at any point you can request a snapshot of the code, configuration, and runbooks. We prefer you stay on our managed runtime, but you are never locked in.

  5. Can the FreshBooks adapter handle our custom fields?

    On first connection the adapter discovers every custom field, custom object and custom workflow inside your FreshBooks tenant and presents them as first-class mappings — you decide which to mirror, which to ignore, and which to enrich.

  6. Is this a packaged FreshBooks connector or a custom build?

    It is a Connectify-owned adapter, not a third-party packaged connector. We maintain the code, we monitor the runtime, and the fields, hooks, and reconciliation rules are shaped to your exact data model — not a generic schema we hope matches.
