QuickBooks Time
Add QuickBooks Time to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
This connector is for the product that used to be called TSheets. Intuit acquired TSheets in 2017 and renamed it QuickBooks Time in 2020, so the slug keeps the old name while the product does not, and the accounting side of Intuit's suite is a separate system with its own integration. What this one covers is hours: a timesheet entry against a jobcode, the schedule that says who was meant to be working, the approval that turns recorded hours into payable ones, and the time off that explains a gap. Jobcodes are the part worth respecting, because they are how a customer's hours turn into cost, and every business builds their own tree of them with their own nesting. An hour that is approved is on its way to somebody's pay, so writes stay scoped per tenant and every change is logged. fastn holds each account's credentials.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Have each customer connect their own account so hours your product already observes are recorded once rather than keyed twice.
Write timesheet entries against that customer's own jobcode tree rather than a flat list you invented.
Read schedules and compare them with recorded hours, so your product reports what was worked instead of what was planned.
React when hours are submitted or approved, so the payroll or billing step your product owns follows immediately.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reports whose hours are unsubmitted or unapproved before a pay period closes.
An agent corrects a timesheet entry within governed permissions, with the jobcode and change recorded.
An agent explains where recorded hours diverged from the schedule last week and by how much.
Example prompt
Whose timesheets are still unapproved for this pay period, and how many hours are waiting?
Set up QuickBooks Time in 4 steps
- 01Enable the QuickBooks Time connector in your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own account, noting that the product was called TSheets before it was renamed.
- 03Map that customer's jobcode tree and the timesheet, schedule and approval fields your product uses.
- 04Call it from your product and expose the same connection to your agents through the MCP gateway.
Why teams use the QuickBooks Time integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a QuickBooks Time integration without building it. Your customers connect their own QuickBooks Time account inside your product and work their employees, employment records and working time there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: HR data is sensitive and its access rules are stricter than most systems. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a QuickBooks Time update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed QuickBooks Time connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep people data current without manual re-entry without wiring it twice.

BoxQuickBooks Time integration FAQ
How do I add a QuickBooks Time integration to my product?
Enable the QuickBooks Time connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own QuickBooks Time account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no QuickBooks Time client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own QuickBooks Time account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own QuickBooks Time account and only ever sees their own employees, employment records and working time. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this QuickBooks Time integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reports whose hours are unsubmitted or unapproved before a pay period closes.
Who maintains the QuickBooks Time integration?
fastn does. When QuickBooks Time changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
How is sensitive QuickBooks Time employee data handled?
Access is scoped per tenant and limited to the fields you map, credentials are encrypted, and every read and write is logged. You expose only what your product actually needs rather than the whole employee record.
Can joiner, mover and leaver changes be automated?
Yes. Where QuickBooks Time is where a hire, a role change or a departure is recorded, that change can trigger downstream provisioning or removal across the customer's other connected systems. Where QuickBooks Time sits downstream of the HR system of record, the same event can be pushed into it so its worker list, schedules and access stay in step, which is where most of the manual effort sits.
What can I build with the QuickBooks Time integration?
A common starting point: have each customer connect their own account so hours your product already observes are recorded once rather than keyed twice. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the QuickBooks Time integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding QuickBooks Time does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
