Permissions (scopes)

These are the data scopes On Belay can be granted for FreshBooks. Your org admin controls which scopes are enabled per group.

invoices:writeWrite invoicesRead / Write
clients:readRead clientsRead only
expenses:readRead expensesRead only
reports:readRead reportsRead only

Troubleshooting

"redirect_uri_mismatch" error during OAuth

Your OAuth app's authorized redirect URIs don't include the On Belay callback URL. Add https://app.onbelay.ai/api/oauth-callback/freshbooks to the allowed redirect URIs in your OAuth app settings.

"invalid_scope" error

The API or scope isn't enabled in your cloud project. For Google integrations, make sure the relevant API (e.g., Google Ads API, Search Console API) is enabled in Google Cloud Console for your project.

Connected but Claude can't access data

Check that your group has been granted access to this integration in On Belay → Groups → [your group] → Integrations. Also verify the specific scopes your group is permitted to use match what your query requires.
