Address app connection errors efficiently with high-visibility notifications

In a nutshell: Know right away in QuickBooks Online if an app needs attention.

When you use connected apps with QuickBooks, it’s important to have visibility on how they’re operating. Now if an app is experiencing a connection error, you’ll see an indication right in the main header of QuickBooks Online—the apps symbol that normally shows nine grey dots will include a red dot. After clicking this symbol, you’ll see a dropdown displaying each app with an added red flag to indicate which one is having a connection issue. From there, you can click through for more information so you can take care of it.


The sooner you know an app needs attention, the faster you can address it—and enjoy the productivity, efficiency, and confidence you get when all connected apps are working as expected.
