How to establish a connection between Dext, ApprovalMax and QuickBooks Online

Updated over a month ago

Integrating Dext with your ApprovalMax Bill workflow enables Dext to push cost items directly to ApprovalMax. ApprovalMax will then run the predefined Bill approval workflow for such Bills and, after their final approval, push them to QuickBooks Online.

The following steps are the minimal requirement for this setup and a prerequisite for enabling Dext to publish documents to ApprovalMax.


Prepare ApprovalMax for the connection to Dext

For this connection, you must either have an active ApprovalMax subscription, or start a new trial Organisation.

You can use your existing QuickBooks Online Organisation, or connect a new Organisation to QuickBooks Online.


Prepare Dext for the connection to ApprovalMax

Connect your Dext account to your ApprovalMax Organisation: ​

  1. In Dext, go to Business Settings > Connections > Accounting software and click on Connect:​


  2. Find ApprovalMax for QuickBooks Online and click on Connect:​

  3. Log in to your ApprovalMax account, if not yet done, then click on Connect software:​

  4. Select a valid Organisation with an active QuickBooks Online connection and click on ALLOW ACCESS:
