What you can automate

What can the Moneybird Make integration do for your admin?

The Moneybird Make integration links your Moneybird administration to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a brick that watches, creates, updates or searches something. Moneybird can alert Make the moment a contact, document, quote or sales invoice changes.

Billing that follows your sales. When a deal closes in another tool, Create a Contact and Create a Sales Invoice put the customer and the invoice in Moneybird without retyping. For recurring clients, Create a Subscription starts the recurring invoice for you.

Payments recorded where they belong. A payment confirmed in your bank or payment tool can feed Create a Sales Invoice Payment, so the invoice is marked as paid. Supplier bills get the same treatment with Create a Purchase Invoice and Create a Purchase Invoice Payment.

Alerts your team actually sees. Watch Quotes and Watch Sales Invoices fire as soon as something changes, so a message can reach your sales channel or a row can land in a shared sheet.

The listed modules do not cover the whole Moneybird API. When one is missing, Make an API Call reaches other endpoints with the same connection. Before you choose a tool, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make pricing guide explains how operations are counted. If a scenario stops, Make troubleshooting lists the usual fixes.

Connect

How do you connect Moneybird to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Moneybird module

    Log in to Make, open your scenario and add any Moneybird module. Click Create a connection. If the module carries the instant tag, click Create a webhook first, then Create a connection.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name such as the company it belongs to helps when you manage several Moneybird administrations. The connection is your account linked to Make once, then reused by every Moneybird module.

  3. 03

    Authorize your account

    Enter the credentials you copied from Moneybird, or follow the on-screen instructions. You need an active Moneybird account and an API key. Make then lists the data it can read, so you pick from menus instead of typing IDs.

First scenario

Your first scenario: from a signed deal to a Moneybird invoice

GoalWhen a deal is won in another app, Make creates the customer and a sales invoice in Moneybird.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Pick the app where your deals live, such as your CRM or your form tool.

  2. 02

    Add Create a Contact

    Click the + to the right of the first module, search for Moneybird and choose Create a Contact. Link your account with Create a connection, then map the name and email from the deal.

  3. 03

    Add Create a Sales Invoice

    Add a third module, Create a Sales Invoice. Map the contact that the previous module just created, so the invoice lands on the right customer card in Moneybird.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once and trigger a test deal. Open each module to read the bundle it received, one item passed along the chain. Check the new contact and invoice in Moneybird before going further.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module (every 15 minutes by default, if that app is polled) and switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Triggers

Which Moneybird events can start a scenario?

4 modules start a scenario when something happens in Moneybird. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Moneybird as soon as it happens.

Moneybird1Watch Contacts

Watch Contacts

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when a contact is added, updated, or deleted.

Keeps your other tools in step with your Moneybird address book. The scenario starts whenever a contact is added, changed or removed, so a CRM, a mailing list or a spreadsheet gets the same update without anyone copying it by hand.

How it fires
instant, Moneybird calls Make through a webhook as soon as it happens.
When to use it
your accountant creates customers in Moneybird and the sales team needs them in its own tool.
Watch out
deletions fire too, so check what happened before you copy the contact elsewhere.
Moneybird2Watch Documents

Watch Documents

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when a document is added, updated, or deleted.

Gives you a single signal for document activity in your administration. Each time a document is added, updated or deleted, Make receives it and your scenario can file it, notify someone or log the change for later review.

How it fires
instant, Moneybird alerts Make by webhook the moment the change occurs.
When to use it
you want a running log of administrative changes in a shared sheet.
Watch out
when you add it, click Create a webhook before Create a connection.
Moneybird3Watch Quotes

Watch Quotes

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when a quote is added, updated, or deleted.

Turns each quote movement into a prompt for your sales follow-up. A new, edited or deleted quote reaches Make at once, and the next modules can post a note in your team chat or update the deal in your pipeline.

How it fires
instant, Moneybird notifies Make through a webhook as soon as the quote changes.
When to use it
sales reps need to know right away that a quote went out or was revised.
Watch out
every edit starts a run, so a busy quote uses several operations.
Moneybird4Watch Sales Invoices

Watch Sales Invoices

Instant trigger

In MakeTriggers when a sales invoice is added, updated, or deleted.

Hands every sales invoice change to the rest of your stack. When an invoice is created, edited or deleted, the scenario starts with its data, ready to feed a dashboard, a customer message or your project tool.

How it fires
instant, Moneybird warns Make by webhook right after the event.
When to use it
finance wants each new invoice mirrored in a reporting sheet without exports.
Watch out
avoid pairing it with Update a Sales Invoice on the same invoice, or the update fires the trigger again and loops.
Modules

What can Make do inside Moneybird?

Moneybird gives you 28 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Moneybird1

Add an Invoice Attachment

Action

In MakeAdds an attachment to a specified invoice.

Pins a file to an existing invoice, so the signed order, the timesheet or the delivery note sits next to the amount in Moneybird. Nobody has to hunt through mailboxes when the customer asks for proof.

When to use it
a file arrives in your storage tool and belongs to an invoice you already created.
Watch out
the module needs the invoice ID, so place a search or creation module before it.
Moneybird2

Cancel a Subscription

Action

In MakeCancels the subscription. Stops the recurring sales invoice for the contact. Optionally you can provide an end date to stop the subscription on a future date.

Stops the recurring sales invoice attached to a customer, so billing ends without anyone logging in to Moneybird. You can also give an end date if the subscription should run until a later day.

When to use it
a customer cancels through your website form or support desk.
Watch out
cancelling ends future billing for that contact, so test the mapping on a sample contact before you switch the scenario on.
Moneybird3

Create a Contact

Action

In MakeCreates a new contact.

Adds a new customer or supplier to Moneybird from data collected elsewhere. The contact becomes available for quotes, invoices and subscriptions right away, and the name is spelled the same way as in your source tool.

When to use it
a signup form, a won deal or a new client file should turn into a Moneybird contact.
Watch out
run List Contacts first if duplicates would be a problem.
Moneybird4

Create a General Document

Action

In MakeCreates a new general document.

Records a general document in your administration, the kind of paperwork that is neither an invoice nor a receipt. It keeps that trace inside Moneybird instead of in a forgotten folder.

When to use it
another app produces a record your accountant wants to see in Moneybird alongside the rest.
Watch out
Watch Documents may fire on the document you just created, so keep that trigger out of this scenario.
Moneybird5

Create an Additional Charge for a Subscription

Action

In MakeAt the end of the current subscription period, the additional charges are merged where possible and an invoice will be created for them. The invoice will be scheduled for sending together with the subscription invoice, so that they are merged on sending.

Adds an extra line to a running subscription without sending a separate bill. At the end of the current period, Moneybird merges the extra charges where it can and sends them with the subscription invoice.

When to use it
a subscribed customer consumes an add-on or extra hours.
Watch out
the charge waits for the period end, so pick Create an Additional Invoice for a Subscription when you need a clear separate line on the next invoice.
Moneybird6

Create an Additional Invoice for a Subscription

Action

In MakeCreates a new sales invoice and schedules it for sending on the same date as the next subscription invoice. During sending, Moneybird will merge both the scheduled invoice and the subscription invoice. This means the contact will receive one sales invoice with multiple invoice details, both from the subscription and from the one-off sales invoice.

Creates a one-off sales invoice that Moneybird sends on the same date as the next subscription invoice. The customer receives a single invoice combining the subscription lines and the one-off lines.

When to use it
you sell a one-time setup or a product to a customer who already pays a subscription.
Watch out
nothing goes out immediately, the invoice waits for the next subscription sending date.
Moneybird7

Create a Purchase Invoice

Action

In MakeCreates a new purchase invoice.

Registers a supplier bill in Moneybird from the data your scenario already holds. Your bookkeeping stays current without anyone keying in amounts from a PDF.

When to use it
supplier invoices reach an inbox or a parsing tool and should end up in your purchases.
Watch out
the supplier must exist as a contact, so add List Contacts or Create a Contact before this module.
Moneybird8

Create a Purchase Invoice Payment

Action

In MakeRegisters a payment for the given purchase invoice.

Marks a supplier bill as paid by recording the payment against it. Your list of open purchases then matches what actually left the bank account.

When to use it
your payment tool confirms a transfer to a supplier and you want Moneybird updated.
Watch out
this module is for purchases; for money received from customers, pick Create a Sales Invoice Payment instead.
Moneybird9

Create a Quote

Action

In MakeCreates a new quote.

Drafts a quote in Moneybird for a given contact, using the prices or services your scenario passes in. Sales gets a proper quote in the accounting tool instead of a loose document.

When to use it
a request form or a CRM stage change should produce a quote without extra typing.
Watch out
pair it with Watch Quotes carefully, since the new quote starts that trigger too.
Moneybird10

Create a Receipt

Action

In MakeCreates a new receipt.

Logs a receipt in Moneybird, for small purchases paid on the spot. Expenses then show up in your books without a pile of paper waiting on a desk.

When to use it
team members submit expenses through a form or an expense app and finance wants them in Moneybird.
Watch out
a supplier bill you still have to pay belongs in Create a Purchase Invoice, which can then take a payment.
Moneybird11

Create a Sales Invoice

Action

In MakeCreates a new sales invoice.

Produces a new sales invoice for a contact from the order or project data your scenario receives. It is the core brick for billing that follows your sales without copy and paste.

When to use it
an order is paid in your shop, or a project is marked as delivered.
Watch out
map the contact returned by a previous module, not a typed name, or the invoice may land on the wrong customer.
Moneybird12

Create a Sales Invoice Payment

Action

In MakeRegisters a payment for the given sales invoice.

Records money received against a sales invoice, so it moves out of your unpaid list. Reminders stop going to customers who have already settled.

When to use it
your payment provider or bank feed confirms that a customer paid.
Watch out
use List Sales Invoices first to find the right invoice when the payment only carries a reference.
Moneybird13

Create a Subscription

Action

In MakeStarts a new subscription for a given contact. A recurring sales invoice is automatically created to bill the contact for the given frequency. The first invoice will be sent on the start date, but no sooner than tomorrow.

Starts a subscription for a contact, and Moneybird creates the recurring sales invoice at the frequency you set. Your repeat billing runs from the moment the customer signs up.

When to use it
a customer picks a plan on your website or accepts a retainer.
Watch out
the first invoice goes out on the start date, but no sooner than tomorrow, so a same-day start is billed the next day.
Moneybird14

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

Opens the rest of the Moneybird API to your scenario, with the connection you already set up. It covers what the listed modules leave out, at the cost of reading the Moneybird API reference.

When to use it
you need an object or an action that no listed module offers.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so test it with Run once on sample data first.
Moneybird15

Update a Contact

Action

In MakeUpdates a contact by its ID.

Changes an existing Moneybird contact by its ID, so an address or an email fixed in your CRM is fixed in the accounting tool too. Invoices then go to the current details.

When to use it
a customer edits their profile in your app or support corrects a record.
Watch out
Watch Contacts fires on updates, so never chain both on the same records in one scenario.
Moneybird16

Update a General Document

Action

In MakeUpdates a general document by its ID.

Edits a general document already stored in Moneybird, found by its ID. The record stays in one place and simply reflects the latest version of the information.

When to use it
the source record changes after you created the document with Make.
Watch out
keep the document ID from the creation step, or look it up with List General Documents.
Moneybird17

Update a Purchase Invoice

Action

In MakeUpdates a purchase invoice by its ID.

Corrects a supplier bill already registered in Moneybird, by its ID. Amounts or references fixed upstream stay aligned with your books.

When to use it
a supplier sends a corrected version and your parsing tool extracts the new data.
Watch out
without the ID the module cannot target the bill, so run List Purchase Invoices first.
Moneybird18

Update a Quote

Action

In MakeUpdates a quote by its ID.

Revises an existing quote by its ID when the terms move during a negotiation. The customer file in Moneybird keeps one quote instead of a string of near copies.

When to use it
the deal amount changes in your CRM and the quote should follow.
Watch out
Watch Quotes reacts to updates too, which can start a loop if both touch the same quote.
Moneybird19

Update a Receipt

Action

In MakeUpdates a receipt by its ID.

Adjusts a receipt already logged in Moneybird, found by its ID. An expense corrected in the source app gets corrected in the books without manual edits.

When to use it
finance approves or amends an expense claim after it was first recorded.
Watch out
List Receipts gives you the ID if your scenario did not create the receipt itself.
Moneybird20

Update a Sales Invoice

Action

In MakeUpdates a sales invoice by its ID.

Changes a sales invoice by its ID, useful for drafts that still need a reference, a line or a note from another system before sending.

When to use it
a purchase order number reaches you after the invoice draft exists.
Watch out
this change fires Watch Sales Invoices, so add a filter or keep that trigger in a separate scenario.
Moneybird21

Update a Subscription

Action

In MakeUpdates the product the contact is subscribed to. This will automatically calculate the differences between the product prices and create a one off sales invoice to bill the extra charge for the remaining billing period. Optionally you can provide a start date for the product change to become active.

Switches the product a contact subscribes to. Moneybird computes the price difference and sends a one-off invoice for the rest of the billing period, so upgrades are billed fairly.

When to use it
a customer moves to a bigger plan from your website.
Watch out
give a start date if the change should apply later rather than right away.
Moneybird22

List Contacts

Search

In MakeSearches contacts by criteria.

Looks up contacts that match your criteria and returns zero, one or several bundles, one per contact. It is the check that prevents duplicates before a creation.

When to use it
before Create a Contact, or to find the customer an invoice belongs to.
Watch out
several results mean several runs of the next module, so narrow the search.
Moneybird23

List General Documents

Search

In MakeSearches general documents by criteria.

Finds general documents by criteria and sends each match to the next module as its own bundle. You get the IDs that update modules require.

When to use it
you need to edit or report on documents your scenario did not create.
Watch out
the search can return zero bundles, so check the run in Run once before trusting the next modules.
Moneybird24

List Purchase Invoices

Search

In MakeSearches purchase invoices by criteria.

Retrieves supplier bills matching your criteria, one bundle per bill. It lets a scenario reach purchases already sitting in Moneybird to pay, correct or report on them.

When to use it
a bank payment has to be matched to the right supplier bill.
Watch out
each returned bill costs operations in the following modules.
Moneybird25

List Quotes

Search

In MakeSearches quotes by criteria.

Searches your quotes by criteria and passes each match along as a bundle. Handy for a pipeline review or to find the quote a customer refers to in an email.

When to use it
sales wants open quotes pushed to a sheet or a chat for follow-up.
Watch out
several matching quotes mean several runs of the next module, each counted as an operation.
Moneybird26

List Receipts

Search

In MakeSearches receipts by criteria.

Brings back the receipts that match your criteria, one bundle each. Expense data then flows into a report or a budget tracker without an export from Moneybird.

When to use it
a manager wants recorded expenses summed in a spreadsheet.
Watch out
add an aggregator after it if you want one total rather than one row per receipt.
Moneybird27

List Sales Invoices

Search

In MakeSearches sales Invoices by criteria.

Pulls the sales invoices that fit your criteria, each one as a separate bundle. It is the starting point for payment matching, reminders sent from another tool, or revenue reports.

When to use it
a payment arrives with a reference and you must find the matching invoice.
Watch out
a broad search returns many bundles and multiplies operations downstream.
Moneybird28

List Subscriptions

Search

In MakeLists all subscriptions for the given contact.

Returns every subscription of a given contact, so the scenario knows which plan to update or cancel. It works per customer, not across the whole administration.

When to use it
just before Update a Subscription or Cancel a Subscription, when you only know the contact.
Watch out
a contact with several subscriptions returns several bundles, so filter on the one you mean.

FAQ

Questions about the Moneybird Make integration

01Is the Moneybird Make integration free?
Yes, Moneybird is a standard app, so it works on the Make Free plan. That plan gives you 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute, lift the cap on active scenarios and allow 40 minutes of execution. Make counts usage in operations, one per module run on one bundle. Your Moneybird subscription is separate and billed by Moneybird.
02What is needed to connect Moneybird to Make?
You need an active Moneybird account and an API key. In Make, add a Moneybird module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then enter the credentials copied from Moneybird or follow the on-screen instructions. For instant triggers, click Create a webhook first. If you prefer your own OAuth application, register it in Moneybird under Settings and Integrations, enter the callback URI shown in the Make documentation if asked, choose scopes, save, and copy the Client ID and Client secret into Make.
03Do the Moneybird triggers in Make react in real time?
Yes. All 4 Moneybird triggers in Make are instant: Watch Contacts, Watch Documents, Watch Quotes and Watch Sales Invoices. Moneybird calls Make through a webhook as soon as a record is added, updated or deleted, so the scenario does not wait for a polling interval. The lightning badge on the module shows this. Each trigger reacts to all three kinds of change, so add a filter after it when your scenario should only handle new records, and keep update modules for the same object out of that scenario to avoid loops.
04What if a Moneybird module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Moneybird API with the connection you already created, which covers what the listed modules do not. You need to read the Moneybird API reference to build the request, and a quick Run once test shows whether the answer is what you expect. The Make documentation for Moneybird notes that part of it is AI-generated from the official Moneybird docs, so verify important details with Moneybird when something looks off.
05Should Moneybird be automated with Make or n8n?
It depends on what you need. In Make, Moneybird comes with 32 ready modules, including 4 instant triggers, and Make an API Call covers the rest; that is enough for most billing flows without code. Whether n8n offers a Moneybird node, and what it covers, is something to check on the n8n side before deciding. Compare the modules each tool provides for your exact flow, how each counts usage, and which one your team already knows. Neither choice is wrong if it covers the steps you need.
