Freshbooks Classic Setup

Authentication

The Cyclr Freshbooks Classic Connector uses basic authentication. For this, you will need a Freshbooks Authentication Token.

See here for more information on Freshbooks Classic API.

Finding your authentication token

You can find your authentication token by:

  1. Going to your freshbooks page, e.g. https://[yoursubdomain].freshbooks.com
  2. Clicking “Profile” at the top of the page.
  3. Scrolling down to the “API Access” section.

Authenticating the Connector

You can then authenticate your connector by entering your Authentication Token in the “Username” field, and a single letter “X” in the Password field.

Your subdomain is the part of the web address that comes before “freshbooks”.

So if your address is http://johnsmith.freshbooks.com , the subdomain will be johnsmith.
