1. Click Save.

3) Copy your API credentials (Client ID + Client Secret)

• In QuickBooks Time, locate your new Protiv application.

• Copy:

• • Client ID

  • Client Secret

• In Protiv, paste them into the matching fields.

• Close the QuickBooks Time API window when done.

4) Connect Protiv to QuickBooks Time

Troubleshooting

“Redirect URL mismatch” or authorization fails

Double-check your OAuth Redirect URL is exactly:

“Invalid Client ID/Secret”

Make sure you copied the values from the same QuickBooks Time application you created for Protiv (and pasted them into the correct fields).
