How It Works

1-click connect, then hands-off collection

Step 01 — Connect

OAuth in one click

Click "Connect FreshBooks" in AgentCollect. Authorize via FreshBooks OAuth — we auto-detect whether you're on FreshBooks New (API v3) or FreshBooks Classic. No passwords, no API keys to copy-paste. Done in under 2 minutes.

Step 02 — Configure

Set your past-due threshold

Choose how many days past due an invoice needs to be before collection starts (30, 45, 60 days). Set a minimum invoice amount. Add any clients to an exclusion list. AgentCollect's tone defaults to professional-friendly, appropriate for freelancer-client relationships.

Step 03 — Collect

AI agents do the awkward part

AI agents handle the uncomfortable follow-up calls and emails for you. When payment is confirmed, FreshBooks is updated automatically with a payment record. Your invoice goes from outstanding to paid — without a single awkward conversation.

Key Benefits

Built for freelancers, agencies, and small businesses

🤝

Relationship-preserving tone

AgentCollect's AI agents are trained to collect firmly while preserving the client relationship. They lead with payment options and a respectful tone — designed for the way freelancers and agencies actually work with clients.

⚡

1-click OAuth, both platforms

Works with FreshBooks New (API v3) and FreshBooks Classic. We auto-detect your version. No API documentation to read, no developer required. If you can click a button, you can connect.

💰

No risk for small volumes

Success-only fees mean you pay nothing unless AgentCollect recovers money. Perfect for freelancers with occasional overdue invoices — the economics work even if you only have 2–3 outstanding invoices per year.

FAQ

FreshBooks integration FAQ

Does AgentCollect work with FreshBooks Classic and the new FreshBooks?
Yes. AgentCollect supports both FreshBooks Classic (the legacy platform) and FreshBooks New (the current platform launched in 2019). Each has its own API integration — FreshBooks New uses the FreshBooks API v3, while FreshBooks Classic uses the legacy XML API. You connect once and we detect your account version automatically.
I'm a freelancer with only a few overdue invoices. Is AgentCollect worth it?
Yes — especially because of the success-only fee model. There's no monthly fee. AgentCollect only earns when you get paid. Even one recovered $5,000 invoice more than justifies the integration. Many of our FreshBooks users are freelancers and agencies recovering 1–5 invoices per month.
How does AgentCollect contact my clients without damaging the relationship?
AgentCollect's AI agents use a professional, firm-but-friendly tone designed to preserve business relationships. They lead with payment options (payment plan, pay online) before escalating. You set the tone level — from gentle reminder to formal demand — and can preview the outreach before it sends.
What happens if my client pays the FreshBooks invoice directly?
If a client pays your FreshBooks invoice directly (via FreshBooks Payments, bank transfer, etc.) and you mark it paid in FreshBooks, AgentCollect detects the status change on the next sync and immediately stops all collection activity for that invoice.
