FAQPage Schema
How do I list all projects for a specific business in FreshBooks?

Call the FRESHBOOKS_LIST_BUSINESSES tool first to obtain your business_id, then use that ID as a parameter for the FRESHBOOKS_LIST_PROJECTS tool to retrieve the project list.

Can I filter projects by their active status?

Yes, the FRESHBOOKS_LIST_PROJECTS tool accepts an active parameter. Set this to true to retrieve only active projects or false to view inactive ones.

How do I track project budgets using this skill?

Use the FRESHBOOKS_LIST_PROJECTS tool with the include_logged_duration parameter set to true. This returns the total time logged in seconds, which you can compare against your project budget.

What format is required for the updated_since parameter?

The updated_since parameter requires an RFC3339 formatted string, such as 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z. Ensure your timestamp follows this exact format to avoid execution errors.

Why do I need to call FRESHBOOKS_LIST_BUSINESSES first?

Most FreshBooks API operations require a business_id to identify the correct account context. Calling this tool first ensures you have the necessary identifier for subsequent project-related queries.
