Automatically Export & Sync QuickBooks Online Data to Google Sheets
Flatly offers several QuickBooks Online data sets that are converted to a raw, non-Report format. These data sets are ideal for data analysis because business intelligence platforms can only ingest data that is structured for machines (flat files), not for humans (accounting reports). Look for the "raw" tag in the data set name. If you prefer a human-formatted QuickBooks Online Report, go with the standard Report data set. Flatly is optimized for data analytics, so expect the non-raw Reports to be quite basic. Note the key difference is that raw Reports adhere to strict conventional column-heading and row-values structure, whereas standard Reports present column headings and values in positions that require a human to infer structure and relations.
Flatly's access to Plaid and Plaid's downstream connected financial institutions is read-only access to text. It is limited to account data (words, numbers, dates). It does not include any money-movement, transfer capabilities or account holder profiles/identities.
Plaid alone interfaces directly with financial institutions, caches data from those institutions on Plaid infrastructure, and then makes the appropriate scoped subset of that data available to partners like Flatly using secure connections called client libraries.
Flatly provisions and manages its own App Folder in Google Drive, which contains Google Sheets files, CSV files or XLSX files refreshed by Flatly. Flatly only has access to this one folder. This folder is like an isolated container that you can move anywhere inside your Google Drive, share with members of your team or link to using Google Sheets scripting. Unlike other apps, Flatly does not request overly broad access to all folders, files and sheets in your Google Drive.
Flatly also requests your Google Account email address, to help you keep track of which Google Drive (belonging to which Google Account) you have shared in certain sync jobs in Flatly.
