- Reconnect your ClickUp and QBO accounts
- Try the sync operation again
If the issue continues:

Troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure the custom fields are created in the correct ClickUp list
- Verify the custom fields are not archived or hidden
- Check if the custom fields have values assigned to tasks

Workaround:
- Create a test task with the custom field to ensure it's active

The sync is not creating customers/projects in QuickBooks Online.
If customers or projects aren't being created in QBO:
Check these common issues:
- Verify your QBO subscription includes customer management features
- Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create customers
- Check if the customer name contains special characters that might cause issues

Solutions:

I'm getting duplicate invoices in QuickBooks Online.
If you're seeing duplicate invoices after syncing:
Prevention measures:
- Always check the "Preview" before syncing to see what will be created
- Use the deduplication feature that checks for existing invoices
- Avoid running multiple syncs on the same data without clearing the sheet
If duplicates already exist:
- Manually delete the duplicate invoices in QBO
- Clear the sync sheet and run a fresh sync
- Use the "Import from QBO" feature to see existing invoices first
The sheet is not updating with changes from ClickUp.
If changes in ClickUp aren't reflecting in your Google Sheet:
Common causes:
- The sync was run before the changes were made in ClickUp
- The task doesn't meet the sync criteria (e.g., not a "Project" type task)
- The custom field mapping has changed
Solutions:
- Run a manual sync to refresh the data
- Check if the task meets your sync filter criteria
- Verify the field mapping is still correct
- Use the refresh button in the preview step
I can't set up automatic sync.
If you're having trouble configuring automatic sync:
Requirements:
- Ensure you have both ClickUp and QBO connected
- Verify you've selected a list and sheet for syncing
- Check that your Google account has permission to create triggers
Troubleshooting:
- Try setting up manual sync first to ensure everything works
- Check if you have multiple Google accounts and are using the correct one
- Verify the sync frequency settings are appropriate for your needs
The add-on is running slowly or timing out.
If Click2QBO Sync is running slowly or timing out:
Performance tips:
- Sync smaller batches of data (100-500 tasks at a time)
- Close other browser tabs to free up memory
- Use a stable internet connection
- Avoid syncing during peak hours
If timeouts persist:
- Try syncing during off-peak hours
- Break large syncs into smaller chunks
- Contact support if the issue continues
I need to reset my connections.
If you need to reset your ClickUp or QBO connections:
Steps:
- Go to the "Connect" step in the add-on
- Click "Disconnect" for the account you want to reset
- Click "Connect" again to re-authenticate
- Follow the OAuth process to re-establish the connection
Note: Disconnecting will clear your sync settings, so you'll need to reconfigure your mapping and sync preferences.
