Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Field Mappings for Freshbooks Znode Integration

Our iPaaS facilitates precise, field-level mapping between Freshbooks and Znode entities. Leveraging AI, we streamline the mapping process, suggest transformations, and ensure data integrity across your financial and eCommerce platforms.

Order (Znode) ↔ Invoice (Freshbooks)

The core of eCommerce financial integration. Znode orders are transformed into Freshbooks invoices, capturing all necessary billing details.

Freshbooks Fields

[field, OrderId],[type, string],[description, Unique identifier for the order in Znode.] [field, OrderNumber],[type, string],[description, Human-readable order number.] [field, OrderDate],[type, datetime],[description, Date of order placement.] [field, CustomerId],[type, string],[description, Identifier for the customer who placed the order.] [field, TotalAmount],[type, decimal],[description, Total monetary value of the order.] [field, ShippingAddress],[type, object],[description, Customer's shipping details.] [field, BillingAddress],[type, object],[description, Customer's billing details.] [field, PaymentStatus],[type, string],[description, Status of payment for the order (e.g., 'Paid', 'Pending').] [field, Line Items[]],[type, array],[description, Array of products purchased, including SKU, ProductName, Price, Quantity.]

Znode Fields

[field, invoice_id],[type, string],[description, Unique identifier for the invoice in Freshbooks.] [field, client_id],[type, string],[description, ID of the client associated with the invoice.] [field, status],[type, string],[description, Current status of the invoice (e.g., 'draft', 'sent', 'paid', 'overdue').] [field, total_amount],[type, decimal],[description, Total monetary value of the invoice.] [field, issue_date],[type, date],[description, Date the invoice was issued.] [field, due_date],[type, date],[description, Date the invoice is due.] [field, line_items[]],[type, array],[description, Array of products/services on the invoice, including name, unit_cost, quantity.] [field, currency_code],[type, string],[description, Currency of the invoice.]

Mapping Notes

Znode `OrderNumber` can be mapped to Freshbooks `invoiceid` or a custom field. `Znode.Order.Line Items` must be iterated and mapped to Freshbooks `Invoice.lineitems[]`. `Znode.CustomerId` is crucial for linking to Freshbooks `Client.client_id`.

Znode eCommerce Order to Freshbooks Invoice & Client Sync

When a customer places an order in Znode, the iPaaS automatically creates a corresponding invoice in Freshbooks and ensures the client record is up-to-date. This workflow is critical for real-time revenue recognition and consistent customer data.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Trigger: New Znode Order (`Order.OrderId`, `Order.OrderStatus = 'Pending'`) via webhook.
  2. 1 Data Extraction: iPaaS retrieves `OrderNumber`, `OrderDate`, `CustomerId`, `TotalAmount`, `ShippingAddress`, `BillingAddress`, and `Line Items` (SKU, ProductName, Price, Quantity) from Znode.
  3. 2 Client Lookup/Creation: iPaaS queries Freshbooks `/v1/clients` using `Znode.Customer.Email`. If no match, a new Freshbooks `Client` is created using `Znode.Customer` fields (`firstname`, `lastname`, `email`, `organization`, `address`).
  4. 3 Invoice Line Item Mapping: Znode `Order.Line Items` are mapped to Freshbooks `Invoice.lineitems[]` (name, unitcost, quantity). Znode `Product.SKU` can be mapped to Freshbooks `Item.name` or a custom field.
  5. 4 Invoice Creation: A new Freshbooks `Invoice` is created via `/v1/invoices` endpoint, linking to the Freshbooks `Client` and populating `totalamount`, `issuedate`, `duedate`, and `lineitems`.
  6. 5 Status Update (Optional): Update Znode `Order.OrderStatus` to 'Invoiced' and store Freshbooks `invoice_id` in Znode's custom field.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
GET, POST, PUT /v1/clients Manage client records for synchronization with Znode Customers.
GET, POST, PUT /v1/invoices Create, retrieve, and update invoices based on Znode orders.
POST /v1/payments Record payment details against invoices from Znode payment transactions.
GET, POST, PUT /v1/items Manage products/services for populating invoice line items from Znode products.
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE /v1/expenses Manage expense entries (if Znode returns need to trigger expense adjustments).

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Date Formatting: Convert `Znode.OrderDate` to `Freshbooks.issue_date` in ISO 8601 format.
  • Address Concatenation: Combine Znode address fields (e.g., `Street1`, `Street2`, `City`, `State`, `Zip`) into Freshbooks' single `address` object field, or map to individual address fields if supported by Freshbooks.
  • Currency Conversion: If Znode supports multiple currencies and Freshbooks requires a single base currency, apply real-time currency conversion rates.
  • Tax Calculation: Map Znode tax details to Freshbooks tax lines, or ensure Freshbooks' internal tax engine is triggered correctly based on item and client settings.
  • Line Item Aggregation: Handle how Znode order line item discounts are reflected in Freshbooks invoice line items (e.g., as a separate line item or distributed across products).
  • Status Mapping: Translate Znode's `OrderStatus` values (e.g., 'Processing', 'Complete') to relevant Freshbooks `Invoice.status` values (e.g., 'Draft', 'Sent', 'Paid').

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Znode Order fails to create Freshbooks Invoice: Missing client ID, invalid line item data, Freshbooks API error. (Mitigation: Retry, Dead-letter queue, Alert).
  • Freshbooks Client creation fails: Duplicate email, invalid address format. (Mitigation: Deduplication logic, AI-assisted data cleansing, Alert).
  • Payment reconciliation mismatch: Freshbooks Invoice not found for Znode Order ID. (Mitigation: Manual lookup, AI pattern matching for reconciliation, Alert).
  • Rate limit exceeded: Too many API calls to Freshbooks or Znode. (Mitigation: Exponential backoff, intelligent queuing, batching).
  • Data type mismatch during transformation: Znode string field mapped to Freshbooks number field. (Mitigation: AI type inference, explicit transformation rules, validation).
