QuickBooks Alerts — Know Before the Month End
Everything important in QuickBooks is a report someone has to remember to run. The debtor who went 60 days, the item that went out of stock, the invoice that was bigger than usual — the data knew; nobody did. This addon turns the replica into a monitoring system: rules on any field, thresholds on any metric, alerts to any channel.
The monitoring layer QuickBooks doesn't have — thresholds that find people before problems do
Why You Find Out at Month End
Reports don't find people
The aged-debtors report exists — running it is a job. In between runs, the debtor who was 30 days is suddenly 75.
Stockouts are discovered, not prevented
Reorder points live in the file and fire silently — the stockout is discovered when a customer asks for the item.
Unusual transactions surface late
The £40k invoice, the unexpected vendor bill, the margin that slipped — month-end is where surprises go to be expensive.
The heartbeat nobody watches
Bank feed stalls, sync fails, a user posts something odd — the system tells nobody, because QuickBooks doesn't have alerts.
How It Works
Agent on your server
A lightweight agent installs beside your existing system — reads the data store directly, makes outbound connections only. No open ports, no VPN, no firewall changes.
Continuous replica
Your records flow to an encrypted, read-only cloud copy via a private tunnel — change-tracking, not dumps. The production system never takes the load.
Web dashboard
Your team searches, reports and browses from any browser or phone — scoped and audited. Answers from the data, not access to the server.
What Your Team Can Finally Do
Common QuickBooks Alerts Scenarios
The 60-day flag that fires itself
A customer crosses 60 days — the credit controller and account manager both get the alert, with the history attached.
The stockout that never happens
Item hits reorder point — purchasing is alerted immediately, before the next order exposes the gap.
The surprise invoice, un-surprised
Any invoice over £25k triggers a flag to the FD — big movements get eyes on them same-day, not month-end.

QuickBooks Alerts Data Access FAQ
What can alerts be built on?+
Anything in the replica — amounts, ages, quantities, statuses, rates of change. If it's in QuickBooks, a rule can watch it.
Email only, or other channels?+
Email, Slack/Teams webhooks and SMS gateway are supported — plus digest summaries so important signals aren't lost in pings.
Can different people get different alerts?+
Yes — rules route to roles and individuals; the credit controller gets debtor alerts, purchasing gets stock alerts.
Does it work with the other addons?+
It's the connective tissue — credit holds, inventory breaches and approval escalations all surface through the same engine.
