Learn How to Flip Houses Using FlipperForce's Powerful Software Tools and Features!

Can I connect the Expense Tracker to other software using the Public API?

Yes. The Public API can read and write expense transactions, line items, vendors and receipts, so expense data can move into or out of FlipperForce.

Yes. Our Public API includes endpoints for the Expense Tracker, so your expense data can move in both directions between FlipperForce and other software.

Sending Expenses Into FlipperForce

You can log transactions, line items, vendors and receipts programmatically from an outside application, instead of entering them by hand.

Pulling Expenses Out of FlipperForce

You can pull itemized line items, vendors, categories and project totals into a custom dashboard, an internal report, or a pipeline that feeds your accounting ledger.

What This Is Not

This is not a ready-made QuickBooks or bank integration. There is no button that connects an outside account to your workspace. Someone on your team writes the connection, or you point an AI agent at it.

FlipperForce also does not push data out on its own. Anything you build pulls your data on a schedule that you set.

Set Up Your Categories First

The API cannot create expense categories. It can only assign expenses to categories that already exist on the project. If a project has no estimate yet, the only category available is "Repair Costs", and everything you import will land there.

Load an Estimate Template in the Repair Estimator before you import and your full category list will be available. See Why do I only see "Repair Costs" as an option? and How do I add a new Category on the Expense Tracker?

If You Are Not a Developer

Our AI Prompt Library has ready-to-run prompts that connect Claude to your FlipperForce data for exactly this kind of work, including logging an expense from a plain description and finding duplicate expenses across projects.

Getting Access

Request an API key on the FlipperForce Integrations page. Requests are reviewed case by case and approval usually takes 24 to 48 hours. Your development team can browse the endpoints in the API documentation.

Native Zapier and MCP connections are on our roadmap, which will make this possible without writing any code.
