FreshBooks integration

DueDrop + FreshBooks

Get paid faster without leaving FreshBooks. DueDrop reads your invoices, sends friendly heads-ups as due dates approach, and warm follow-ups on anything that slips past due — all on your behalf.

What connecting unlocks

Three things that change the day you connect FreshBooks.

01

Upcoming and overdue invoices both get the nudge they need.

DueDrop watches FreshBooks for both — invoices coming due (so the client has a heads-up before the due date) and invoices that slipped past due. Set separate cadences for each. Warm reminders before, firmer ones after.

02

Client context pulls automatically

Name, amount, invoice number, due date, and prior email history — all attached to every draft, whether it's a friendly heads-up before the due date or a follow-up on an overdue balance.

03

One source of truth — yours

What's in FreshBooks is what DueDrop acts on. The second you mark an invoice paid there, queued reminders stop here. No second spreadsheet, no double-nudges.

Setup

Three steps. Then it runs on its own.

Connect once — DueDrop handles the rest in the background.

STEP 01

Sign in with FreshBooks.

Standard OAuth — you stay on FreshBooks's own authorization screen. We never see your password, and you can revoke access in one click from your FreshBooks account.

FreshBooks + DueDrop

DueDrop is requesting access to your FreshBooks account

Permissions requested
  • Read-only access to your invoice list and payment status
  • Read client names, emails, and invoice history
  • No access to expenses, time tracking, or project data
  • No write access — we never modify invoices or records
STEP 02

DueDrop stays in sync with FreshBooks in real time.

Create an invoice, update a due date, or mark one paid — DueDrop sees it within seconds, without you refreshing, resyncing, or doing anything else. Reminders queue automatically: a gentle heads-up as an invoice approaches its due date, and firmer follow-ups the hour it ages past due.

STEP 03

When an invoice goes overdue, DueDrop drafts and sends a reminder.

The draft matches your tone, fills in the client's name and invoice details from FreshBooks, and sends from your connected email — on the cadence you set. No login required on your end.

Security & permissions

Minimal access, always in your control.

  • Read-only, always.

    DueDrop never creates, changes, or deletes anything in your FreshBooks account.

  • We never see your password.

    When you click Allow, FreshBooks hands us a limited access token — not your login credentials.

  • Encrypted end to end.

    Bank-grade encryption in transit and in our database.

  • Disconnect whenever.

    One click in your FreshBooks account cuts us off completely. Cancel DueDrop and we delete your data — no lingering copies.

  • Plan support.

    Works with every paid FreshBooks plan (Lite and up).

FAQ

About the FreshBooks integration specifically.

Does DueDrop work with FreshBooks Classic?
No — only current FreshBooks. The Classic API is being retired and doesn't give us a stable enough base to build on. If you're on Classic, FreshBooks has a migration path; once you're over, DueDrop connects in a couple of clicks.
What happens when a client pays through FreshBooks Payments?
DueDrop sees the payment applied on the next sync and immediately cancels any queued reminders. Works the same whether the payment came through Stripe, WePay, or a manual mark-as-paid.
Can DueDrop see my retainer invoices?
Yes — any invoice FreshBooks lists in your invoices tab, DueDrop reads. Retainers, recurring, one-off, deposit invoices — all the same to us.
Does DueDrop write anything back to FreshBooks?
No. The integration is read-only. We pull invoice and client data; we never create, modify, or delete anything in your FreshBooks account.
How fast does DueDrop react when I send a new invoice?
Within 15 minutes. DueDrop polls on a tight schedule — a brand-new invoice gets picked up, and reminder windows are calculated from its due date immediately. You don't need to trigger anything.
