If a rate limit is hit, a 429 error will be returned with headers indicating when to retry the request.

For more information, see Rate Limiting.

August 14 - QuickBooks Desktop Reliability Updates

We've implemented several key updates to improve the reliability and performance of our QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) integration. These enhancements address common pain points and aim to provide a smoother experience for all users.

Better Data Syncing

Faster & More Stable Syncs: We've reduced the batch size for data synchronizations. This change reduces the likelihood that a sync will freeze, particularly during the initial sync. With the smaller batch size, you'll notice more consistent successful sync results.
Reduced Iterator Corruptions: Previously, iterated entity requests could become corrupted when shuffled with other entity query requests, leading to sync issues. We've improved the process by grouping all iterated requests together, significantly enhancing the sync experience.
Better Percentage Progress in Web Connector: We've improved the accuracy of progress tracking in the QBD web connector. We now calculate and display more precise percentages to your customers during the sync process, giving them increased certainty that syncs are moving.

Reduced API Errors

Improved Out-of-Date Object Handling: We now perform data synchronization before making POST calls, reducing the occurrence of out-of-date object errors. This ensures that the most current data is used during the sync process.
Supporting Error Recovery Routine: We now send an idempotent key to QBD, allowing us to resend POST calls in the event of a QBD crash. This ensures greater reliability and reduces the impact of failed requests.

New Features

Delete Monitoring: We now monitor deletions on the QBD side and automatically delete corresponding entities on Rutter's side. Supported entities include Account, Class, Currency, Customer, Items, PaymentMethod, TaxRates, and Vendor.

User Interface Improvements

Dashboard Enhancements: The QBD initial sync and side refresh dashboard are now fully operational. Additionally, the last connected time and any connection errors are displayed directly on the dashboard.
Improved Rutter Link Flow: We've redesigned the Rutter link flow for both initial connections and reauthorization, providing clearer instructions and a better overall user experience.

We're excited to continue providing a best-in-class experience for QuickBooks Desktop integrations. If you have feedback on these updates, or anything else in our API, reach out to product@rutterapi.com.

For more information, visit our QuickBooks Desktop guide.

August 12 - Bank Feeds Status Unification

We've made improvements to unify our bank feeds logic across all supported platforms, including Intuit QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, and coming soon—Xero.

The transaction_ready field will now be returned on bank feed accounts (GET /bank_feeds/accounts) to clearly indicate, in a cross-platform manner, whether a bank feed account is ready to accept transactions. When transaction_ready=true, it signals that you can send a batch of bank feed transactions to that account.

On NetSuite & Intuit QuickBooks, transaction_ready=true is set immediately after you POST /bank_feeds/accounts to Rutter, as these systems allow transactions to be sent right away. On Sage, transaction_ready=true is set once the user completes the linking flow in Sage.

The transaction_ready field was added alongside our existing feed_status field. The feed_status field (which can be set to active/inactive) indicates whether the end-to-end flow of a user setting up a bank feed integration in their accounting system is complete.

On NetSuite, feed_status=active is set after the first batch of transactions is sent via POST /bank_feeds/transactions. For Sage & Intuit, feed_status=active is set once the user finishes the linking flow in Sage or QuickBooks.

By using transaction_ready and feed_status, you can now build unified logic across all systems to determine when to send transactions.

For more information, visit our Bank Feeds Guide.

Deleted entities will no longer appear in subsequent API responses. In addition, webhooks will be sent out at the moment deletes are detected, and a log of all deleted entities for each connection will be available through our new /events API.

For more information, visit our documentation:

July 30 - Partial String Matching

Added support to the filter parameter for supporting the ~ (partial match) operation. ~ returns all objects that include a word starting with the given value for that field. For example, ~ ru will return "Rutter" and "The Rutter API Company", but not "Truly". ~ is supported for any string field that is not an enum, date, or Rutter id. Matches are case insensitive.

June 28 - Custom Connection Names

We're excited to announce that you can now set custom names for connections using the Rutter Dashboard or our API. This feature helps you and your team easily mark which connections belong to each of your customers, cutting down on the time needed to troubleshoot issues or check request logs. Connection names are private within your organization and not visible to your customers, so you can come up with your perfect naming scheme to help your team quickly and easily find their way around your connections.

To use this feature on our dashboard, click on any connection.

A connection page in the Rutter Dashboard

Then, click "Set display name" and fill out your desired name in the modal.

The Rutter Dashboard modal to set a custom name

Once the name is set, it will appear on the individual connection page, within the list of all connections in the dashboard, and in our API.

If you'd like to set multiple connection names at once, you can use our Update a Connection API endpoint to do so. Just specify a name in the request body, and you'll see that name appear within our dashboard and API shortly after.

June 12 - Customize QBD File Paths in Rutter Link [QuickBooks Desktop]

You can now set the file path for your QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) file when creating a new connection in Rutter Link. This feature allows you to specify the location where your QBD file is hosted, which contains critical information about your company and accounts.

While many QBD files are stored in a standard location, this flexibility is valuable for more complex setups. If QBD is running on a server rather than an individual's computer, there may be multiple QBD instances present and therefore multiple company files. With this change, it's easy to connect Rutter to the right one. By providing the file path during setup, you ensure the Web Connector can always access the correct QBD file, whether it's on a physical server or in a remote desktop environment.

Additionally, if the QBD file path changes (for example, as a result of moving to a new computer), you can update the file path in Rutter Link to reflect the new location.

Setting the Company File Path:

During the creation of a new QuickBooks Desktop connection, you will see an option to enter the file path where the QBD file is stored.
Example file path: C:\Users\YourUser\Documents\QuickBooks\CompanyFile.qbw

Input to update QuickBooks Desktop company filepath

Updating the Company File Path:

To update the QBD file path for an existing connection, go to the connection you are trying to update in the Rutter Dashboard.
Click on the "Settings" tab
Update the file path under the "Company file path" field.

We're excited to continue making updates to ensure our QBD connector provides an excellent experience. If you have feedback on this, or any other change, reach out to product@rutterapi.com.

For more detailed instructions, visit our QuickBooks Desktop guide.

June 10 - Coverage Updates

June 5 - Enhanced Readability of API Error Responses

On POST requests where the external platform returns an error to Rutter, we now return concise messaging for these errors. As an example use case, these new messages may be shown to your users in your UI to allow them to self-troubleshoot.

You can find the following new fields under the error_metadata object:

source - Whether the error originated from Rutter ("rutter") or the platform ("platform").
human_readable - An easy to read error message for platform-originated errors, e.g. "The account type xxxx is incompatible with this transaction."
platform - An object that contains data from the platform, e.g. headers or rate limiting information.

For more information, visit our API Reference.

May 16 - Introducing the platform_url Field [QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zoho Books]

A challenging part of working with the Rutter API is figuring out where Rutter accounting objects can be found in the external accounting platform. To make this easier and more explicit, we are introducing a new platform_url field to many of our accounting objects. This link will point to the page containing the object in the external platform's accounting application.

This feature will allow developers integrating with new platforms to more quickly verify their changes in the external platform after any operation they perform with the Rutter API.

To view the page, you must already be logged into the application with the correct credentials.

The field is currently supported for three platforms, QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Zoho Books for the following endpoints

/accounting/accounts
/accounting/bills
/accounting/bill_payments
/accounting/bill_credit_memos
/accounting/customers
/accounting/expenses
/accounting/invoices
/accounting/invoice_payments
/accounting/invoice_credit_memos
/accounting/journal_entries
/accounting/purchase_orders
/accounting/vendors

For more information, visit our API Reference.

May 15 - Initial Sync Progress Bars

When a Rutter connection is syncing for the first time, there can be a lot of variability in how long the sync takes depending on the amount of data in the external platform. This can cause uncertainty as to whether there are issues with the sync, or there's simply a lot of data to sync and things are progressing as normal.

We're excited to introduce a feature on our dashboard that gives a granular progress report on how much data has synced. Now, you can see the initial sync progress for each individual entity, and the time period that entities have finished syncing through. This will provide enhanced observability and an easier way to monitor for any errors.

To use this feature, head to the Rutter Dashboard and click on any connection. At the bottom of the page, a granular progress report will be displayed. Hover over each bar to see the dates for the data that was synced. Bars with a ">" can be expanded with a click to view sub-entities and their progress.

Progress bars for Rutter entities showing the progress each of them has made towards syncing.

April 4 - Exposing POST Input Validation Rules for Expenses and Bills Endpoint

When using our POST API endpoints, sometimes you may encounter validation errors (HTTP status code 400) that indicate the data submitted is not considered valid. To help you understand why your request is being rejected and show you all the input validation rules that apply to a specific platform, we've added a new section to our documentation (under "Support by integration" for each endpoint) that outlines the input validation rules for a specific endpoint. Currently, we've added this information for the POST /bills and POST /expenses endpoint documentation but we will be adding it to other endpoints in the future.

For more information, visit our documentation:

POST /bills API Added input validation rules under "Support by integration"
POST /expenses API Added input validation rules under "Support by integration"

March 1 - Duplicate Bank Feed Transaction IDs are Now Accepted [NetSuite]

When using the POST /bank_feeds/transactions API for NetSuite, you are now able to include Bank Feed Transaction transaction_id's within a POST request that have already been synced to Rutter without receiving an input rejection error. You'll see that the post succeeds, and in the response there will be a field duplicate: boolean which indicates whether a transaction has been previously synced or not. If duplicate: true, you'll see the metadata from the already synced transaction. The new transaction input will not override the existing data if it differs.

With this change, you do not need include error handling for the case where an already synced transaction causes an entire list of transactions to be rejected. Previously, you would have had to regenerate a valid input by removing the already synced transactions from the rejected input, and retry the post request to ensure the rest of the transactions would get synced. Rutter now handles deduplication of transactions internally before syncing them to Netsuite, which simplifies your implementation of our integration.

For more information, visit our documentation:

POST /bank_feeds/transactions API Updated Schema
NetSuite Bank Feeds Guide Updated "Transaction Syncing Rules"

February 27 - Delete Monitoring [QuickBooks, NetSuite]

Rutter will now track when resources are deleted in the QuickBooks Online and NetSuite platforms. When a resource is deleted in the platform (instead of through Rutter's API), Rutter will detect these changes during the incremental sync process. Deleted entities will no longer appear in subsequent API responses. In addition, webhooks will be sent out at the moment deletes are detected, and a log of all deleted entities for each connection will be available through our new /events API.

With this change, QuickBooks Online and NetSuite users can enjoy a more streamlined data management process in Rutter.

For more information, visit our documentation:
