Automate FreshBooks with Caddi

Built for professional services teams.

FreshBooks runs invoicing for small services firms. Caddi handles the inputs (time, projects, expenses) and outputs (sending, chasing, reconciling) automatically.

Why automate it

The work around FreshBooks is where time disappears.

FreshBooks works fine — but the work to keep it accurate isn't trivial. Caddi closes the gap so finance staff stop manually moving data in and out.

FAQ

Questions about automating FreshBooks

Does Caddi have a real FreshBooks integration?

Yes. Caddi runs verified code against FreshBooks's official APIs (and uses a secure, audited browser session when an API isn't available). Every automation Caddi builds for FreshBooks is reviewed before it runs in production.

Do I need engineering help to automate FreshBooks with Caddi?

No. You demonstrate the workflow once — clicking through FreshBooks the way you normally would — and Caddi turns it into a verified, repeatable automation. No code, no IT ticket, no Zapier-style wiring.

Is my FreshBooks data safe?

Caddi is SOC 2 attested. Our AI watches and builds the automation, but it never touches client data at runtime — once the automation is generated, it executes deterministically against FreshBooks with no model in the loop.

Can Caddi connect FreshBooks to the rest of my stack?

That's the point. Most Caddi automations span 3-6 tools — for example, pulling data out of an email, updating FreshBooks, filing a document in cloud storage, and posting a confirmation in Slack or Teams. Every tool on the integrations page is fair game.
