Can we have a reply from someone that has been with the company for more than 2 months? 

I just want someone that has a bit more of a grasp of the situation to provide an update for us if you don't mind, and this seems like a problem a bit bigger than you should be handling on month 2. 

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, that is simply what your profile said.

 

Just curious since it is Monday if we have any more news or updates from the QB team.

We also have not had a connection to Novo bank since 9/27/2023. Very frustrating.

I don't think this is a Quickbooks issue. I just checked the Acccounting Apps avaiable in NOVO Bank and Quickbooks is longer there

October 9, 2023

I don't think this is an issue with Quickbooks. I just check the Apps available on Novo Bank and Quickbooks is no longer there

October 9, 2023

It was never there to my knowledge.

This is a different thing altogether.  The apps in Novo are to have access to third party software that you use from your Novo account.

 

This is the other way around.

For example none of the big banks have QB apps but the all work with QB to parse the account info.

Yeah, I agree. I have to wonder if the bank that hosts Novo (Middlesex) has severed ties with Intuit/QBO and as a result that is driving the issue we're seeing. Because otherwise there is no reason that it would have taken QBO 3 weeks to resolve a simple bank to vendor connection issue.

I'm also having this problem.  It's been going on for two weeks now.  It's pretty frustrating.

As previously mentioned, this may be due to a non-communicated? discontinued service from the Novo side. Being proactive, I went ahead and spun-up an acct with BlueVine. They were super responsive in terms of account setup, activation and reaching out after the fact to make sure I had what I needed. If you're suffering with manual record entry due to the lack of integration, this may be a possible path to head down.

Also having the same issue since 9/26/23, and got a similar response from Novo support who says they are "aware and looking into it"...

October 9, 2023

Also having this issue...

Adding my name to this issue. It's been down since the 26th for me. So frustrating! Why am I paying for a service that won't work for weeks? 

October 10, 2023

I'm also having this very same issue.

 

To my surprise look what I found in Novo's support page:

 

Does Novo integrate with QuickBooks?

No, currently, we do not integrate with QuickBooks. You can link your Novo account to QuickBooks by logging in to your QuickBooks account

Temporarily I downloaded all the transaction in CSV file then fixed the DATE column to reflect MM-DD-YY (month and date must be two digit) and imported to QB. All took about 2 minutes and everything was imported. 

October 11, 2023

But don't you think that manually imported CSV data would be a duplicate once the automatic integration comes back? I'm hesitant to do so due to that concern.

October 11, 2023

I'm not entirely certain, but given that QB is a large company, I would expect their coders/engineers to have designed the algorithm to detect duplicates. There should be safeguards in place, but as I mentioned, I can't confirm this definitively.
