# QuickBooks

## Connection <a href="#connect" id="connect"></a>

When you're setting up your first workflow with QuickBooks, you'll need to connect MESA with QuickBooks.

Click on the **Connect with QuickBooks** button.

Afterward, you can re-use the newly created connection and select it for your future workflows!

If you connect Quickbooks with a MESA trigger, you must enter your Quickbook's Company ID.
