How often does Pennylane data sync to Freshbooks?

Pennylane pushes events to Well over its MCP server, so most records land within seconds of the underlying action. Each event is matched immediately and reaches Freshbooks within a confidence window: above 85% it posts, 55-85% queues for review, below 55% is refused.

How does Well match Pennylane records to entries in Freshbooks?

Well scores every candidate match between Pennylane records and existing Freshbooks entries on counterparty name, amount, date proximity, currency, and reference. Above 85% the record links to the historical entry and Freshbooks updates; between 55% and 85% the candidates are queued for sign-off; below 55% the record stays open with the candidate list available.

Does Well handle multi-currency records between Pennylane and Freshbooks?

Pennylane carries the original transaction currency on every record and Freshbooks natively ledgers in multiple currencies. Well preserves the original amount, applies your Freshbooks chart-of-accounts conversion rules at posting time, and both the source and converted amounts ride on the document Well forwards to Freshbooks, so the Freshbooks entry you post keeps both sides of the trade.

Can I customise which Pennylane fields are sent to Freshbooks?

The default mapping covers every Pennylane field your Freshbooks chart of accounts accepts (counterparty, amount, currency, reference, tax). From the integration settings page you can override mappings field-by-field, attach computed values from your connected data (GL code, project tag, tax bucket), or ignore fields Freshbooks does not need. Custom mappings are versioned and apply only to records reconciled after the change, so anything you have already reviewed and posted in Freshbooks is left exactly as it stands.

What happens if a Pennylane record fails to post to Freshbooks?

When a record fails to post to Freshbooks (validation rule, missing field, transient 5xx), Well retries automatically with backoff. Auth failures short-circuit the retry loop and notify the workspace owner; schema rejections are kept on the integration status page with a one-click retry-after-fix action pointing back at the original Pennylane record. Nothing silently drops.

How does Well authenticate with Pennylane and Freshbooks?

Pennylane's MCP server handles authorisation directly; Well receives an access token through Dynamic Client Registration and never sees raw user credentials. For the delivery side, Well forwards the reconciled document to your Freshbooks email-in address once it clears the matching threshold; Freshbooks creates the draft record from it and you confirm and post it. Well holds no write credential to Freshbooks. Tokens are encrypted in transit under TLS 1.3. Anything Well holds between Pennylane and Freshbooks is encrypted at rest and handled in line with GDPR.

Pennylane

The Pennylane integration creates a bidirectional bridge between Well and your accounting workspace.

Freshbooks

Target

The FreshBooks connection delivers extracted documents into FreshBooks through its email-in address.

Why this pair

Invoices and the companies behind them live in Pennylane, but if your team also runs FreshBooks, each one gets re-entered by hand to exist in both.

Well reads the invoices and companies from Pennylane and forwards each as a document to your FreshBooks email-in address. The entry arrives with its counterparty resolved and its Pennylane record attached, so the same invoice exists in both places without anyone retyping it.

01Featured

Mirror an invoice into FreshBooks

Well reads an invoice from Pennylane and forwards it to your FreshBooks email-in address, so the same record exists in both without anyone re-keying it.

Resolve the counterparty

Well reads the company behind a Pennylane invoice and attaches it to the document forwarded to FreshBooks, so the party is verified.

Keep the Pennylane record attached

The Pennylane invoice reference travels with the document forwarded to FreshBooks, so each entry traces back to the record it came from.

Catch a duplicate early

Well checks a Pennylane invoice against what it has already forwarded, so the same entry does not reach FreshBooks twice.
