Find Shopify Orders Missing From QuickBooks Every Morning
Accounting sync apps sometimes skip an order without telling you, and you only find out at month end when the books don't match. This workflow runs every morning, pulls yesterday's paid Shopify orders, looks each one up in QuickBooks by its order number, and posts a Slack message for any order that has no matching invoice, so gaps get fixed the day they happen instead of weeks later.

FAQs
My sync app creates sales receipts, not invoices. Does this still work?
Swap the invoice lookup for a QuickBooks Query Transaction List Report filtered to yesterday and match on the order number in the results. The rest of the workflow stays the same.
Will this create anything in QuickBooks?
No. It only reads from Shopify and QuickBooks and posts to Slack. Fixing a missing order is left to you, so nothing gets double-entered.
What if my sync app batches orders into one daily summary?
Then there is no per-order record to look up. Compare yesterday's Shopify order total against that day's summary entry instead, and alert when they differ.
