Within each object type, you can usually define whether syncing is one-way or bi-directional, depending on your accounting policies.

Troubleshooting HubSpot and QuickBooks sync issues

Occasionally, records may fail to sync between HubSpot and QuickBooks Online. You can usually diagnose these problems from the integration settings page inside your CRM.

Check sync error logs

From the integration settings area, access the sync health or error log section. There you can:

• Review recent sync attempts and failures.
• Filter by object type, such as invoices or customers.
• Open individual error messages for details.

Common issues include missing required fields, incorrect field formats, or permission problems in QuickBooks Online.

Resolve typical sync problems

• Duplicate customers: Merge or clean up duplicates and re-run the sync when supported.
• Authorization errors: Reconnect your QuickBooks account from the integration settings page.
