Since integration requires exchanging data between the two systems, it is important to understand how data exchange occurs between Zoho Creator and QuickBooks Online. Fplowing are some of the ways by which data passes between these two applications:

• Data imports/exports. If you want to use data from QuickBooks Online in Zoho Creator, then you can import it. Similarly, if you want to use data from Zoho Creator in QuickBooks Online, then you can export it. This method works well if you are only interested in few records from QuickBooks Online or Zoho Creator. However, if you need a large amount of data from either system then this method will not be useful as it is not very efficient. For example, if you need to copy data from QuickBooks Online into Zoho Creator then there will be a lot of duplicates as both the systems will try to import their respective records into their system. Moreover, each system will create its own duplicate records for the same set of records. This will cause confusion if duplicate records exist in both systems because a user cannot tell which record is up to date or which record contains correct information. Therefore, it is recommended that you use batch updates to get rid of duplicate records and avoid confusion regarding duplicate data.
• Batch updates. This is another way of copying data from one system into the other system without creating duplicates. You can copy all the records from a particular category (for example, all customers. or all the records from a particular record type (for example, all invoices. Batch updating helps avoid duplication problems when copying data between Zoho Creator and QuickBooks Online because there is only one record for each customer/invoice in either system after batch updates are completed. This method also saves time as you do not have to make separate changes for each record in each system. Time saved can be put to better use by focusing on other activities like marketing or growing your business instead of wasting time on keeping track of duplicate records in different systems. However, this method also has its own drawbacks. firstly, it requires a lot of manual effort to complete batch updates; secondly, batch updates need to be done frequently because changes happen quickly in today's fast-paced world and hence batch updates become tedious after some time; thirdly, this method does not allow users to export data selectively; and fourthly, this method does not allow users to enter data selectively in a Zoho Creator form and then copy this data into QuickBooks Online because this type of transaction cannot be done by batch updates alone. This last drawback can be overcome by using the other methods discussed below (i. integration API & (ii. Zapier integration.
