by Intuit6 Updated 4 days ago

Learn how to set up QuickBooks Online to send invoices from your Gmail address.



Connect a Gmail address to QuickBooks

When you connect your accounts, QuickBooks Online uses your Gmail account to send invoices to your customers. You can only connect to one Gmail address, but you can use the same Gmail address for multiple QuickBooks accounts.

  1. Create an invoice or open an existing one.
  2. Once you fill out the necessary fields, select Review and send to open the preview window.
  3. Select the From ▼ dropdown.
  4. Select Add Gmail address, and Connect Google account.
  5. Sign in to your Google account, and follow the instructions. Your Gmail address now appears in the From field.

Notes:

  • Once connected, you won’t have to sign in to your Google account again.
  • Your Gmail inbox won’t be accessible in QuickBooks Online, but any user with permission to send an invoice can use this email address. 
  • Once you send an invoice, the status will display as Sent on the invoices page. If there’s an issue sending an invoice to the primary email, you’ll see an alert in QuickBooks Online. If there’s a problem sending to a Cc or Bcc email address, Gmail will send you a notification email.
