Quickstart

Sign up for a Conductor account here with your work email.

Create an organization in the Conductor dashboard. This should be the name of your company.

In the organization you created, let’s select the “testing” project. An organization can have multiple projects, but we’ll use this one for now.

After selecting the “testing” project in the Conductor dashboard, click the “Create end user” button.

After creating an end-user in the dashboard, it will automatically create an auth session. Visit this URL in your browser on the same computer or instance as your QuickBooks Desktop installation. This authentication flow will guide you through connecting your QuickBooks Desktop instance to Conductor.

Read every step carefully!

In the Conductor dashboard, navigate to the API Keys tab and find your project’s Secret Key. You’ll need this in Step 6 to authenticate your requests.

Navigate to the End Users tab and find your end-user’s ID. You’ll need this in Step 6 to identify the end-user in your requests.

Try fetching a list of QBD Customers:
