Maesn manages the FreshBooks rotating refresh tokens reliably for you

FreshBooks rotating refresh tokens managed reliably.

FreshBooks refresh tokens are invalidated on every single use. A single storage failure breaks the entire integration for that tenant with no recovery path other than full re-authorization. Maesn handles the full token rotation lifecycle per tenant in the backend so your integration never fails silently.

Refresh tokens rotated and stored reliably per tenant

Token loss detection and re-authorization surfaced clearly

No token management logic on your end

See documentation

FreshBooks dual identity model resolved automatically.

FreshBooks requires two different identifiers depending on which resource you access: accountId for accounting endpoints and businessId for time tracking and projects. Mixing them up causes silent failures or incorrect routing. Maesn resolves both identifiers during onboarding and injects the correct one into every request automatically.

Correct identifier injected per endpoint automatically

One common data model across all accounting systems with Maesn

Complete FreshBooks data on every request.

FreshBooks silently caps responses at 100 results per page and requires explicit include parameters for related data like invoice lines. Without proper handling your sync silently returns incomplete data. Maesn paginates all endpoints automatically and sends the correct includes on every request.

What is FreshBooks?

FreshBooks is a cloud-based accounting platform widely used by freelancers, self-employed professionals and small service businesses across North America, the UK and beyond, offering tools for invoicing, expense tracking, time tracking, project management and financial reporting.

Why should I integrate FreshBooks via Maesn instead of directly?

Integrating via Maesn eliminates all FreshBooks-specific complexity. Dual identity resolution, rotating refresh token management, silent pagination caps and include parameter handling are all abstracted behind one unified API. Plus, you immediately gain access to dozens of other accounting and ERP systems.

What is the FreshBooks dual identity model?

FreshBooks requires two different identifiers depending on which resource you access. Accounting endpoints like invoices, clients and expenses use the accountId. Time tracking, projects and services use the businessId. These are different values and cannot be interchanged. Mixing them up causes silent failures or incorrect routing. Maesn resolves both during onboarding and injects the correct identifier into every request automatically.

What happens to FreshBooks refresh tokens after each use?

FreshBooks refresh tokens are invalidated on every single use. When a new access token is issued, a brand new refresh token is issued alongside it and the old one is immediately invalidated. A single storage failure breaks the entire integration for that tenant with no recovery path other than full re-authorization. Maesn handles the full token rotation lifecycle per tenant in the backend so your integration never fails silently.

How does FreshBooks OAuth work and what scopes does Maesn request?

FreshBooks uses OAuth 2.0 with granular resource-level scopes that must be declared upfront. Missing a scope requires your customer to revoke access and reconnect. Maesn configures the correct scopes automatically as part of the app setup so your customers connect once and all required permissions are captured correctly.

How does Maesn handle FreshBooks pagination?

FreshBooks silently caps responses at 100 results per page. Requesting more returns 100 without an error or warning. Without explicit pagination logic your sync silently returns incomplete data. Maesn paginates all FreshBooks collection endpoints automatically so you always receive the complete dataset.

What data can I sync with FreshBooks via Maesn?

Maesn supports invoices, bills, credit notes, customers, suppliers, payments, expenses, projects, time entries and more. Coverage is continuously expanding and endpoints can be added on demand.

How is my customers' data handled and stored?

Maesn uses HTTPS and TLS for all data transfer and does not store any customer data. The platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure in Frankfurt, Germany and is fully GDPR & ISO 27001 compliant.
