    A good alternative to zapier, make and IFTT. I like the prices they are really cheap compared to the other companies. The support team and the documentation is on point. The UI and the automations possible are what I love most about Albato.

    collapsed

    With Migration Mode, you can configure the transfer of data from any desired timeframe—whether for all historical records or through periodic migrations. To check if Migration Mode is available for your FreshBooks integration with Cognito Forms, log in to your Albato account, select the trigger event for your app, and look for the Migration Mode icon. If it's not visible or you need further clarification, feel free to contact our customer support team for assistance.

    How to connect FreshBooks to Cognito Forms for two-way synchronization?

    collapsed
    To integrate FreshBooks with Cognito Forms for two-way synchronization, Albato uses a system of triggers and actions. You can link Cognito Forms to FreshBooks by setting up two separate automations. The first automation sent data from Cognito Forms to FreshBooks . For instance, when a record is created or updated in Cognito Forms, the automation ensures the changes are reflected in FreshBooks . The second automation works in reverse, updating Cognito Forms when changes occur in FreshBooks .
    To avoid infinite loops or duplicate updates, apply filters—such as updating only when specific data changes—and use unique record identifiers. This approach ensures seamless FreshBooks Cognito Forms integration and keeps your data consistent across both platforms.
