Accounting integration

Pennylane fed automatically by your event invoices

Every finalized invoice and credit note goes to Pennylane on its own, with the client and the attachment. Your accountant gets a complete file, and you stop exporting anything.

Joinways

Automatic push

Finalized invoices and credit notes are sent to Pennylane as they are issued. No end-of-month export.

Clients and attachments included

The client record and the PDF travel with each invoice, so the accounting entry is complete.

Sync you can audit

Synced, pending and error counts are visible in your settings. You see exactly what reached Pennylane.

What the Pennylane integration does, concretely

The gap between billing and bookkeeping is manual exports. This integration removes it.

Invoices arrive on their own

Each finalized invoice lands in Pennylane with its amounts, its client and its PDF. Credit notes follow the same path.

Clients kept consistent

The client attached to the invoice is created or matched in Pennylane, so your accounting ledger mirrors your CRM.

Auto-sync you control

Enable automatic sending, or trigger it as you prefer. A status view shows synced, pending and failed documents.

What goes to Pennylane

  • Finalized invoices, with their amounts and PDF attached
  • Finalized credit notes, through the same path as invoices
  • Client records, created or matched in Pennylane
  • Sync statuses: synced, pending, error
  • Nothing else: drafts and quotes never reach the books

How to connect Pennylane to Joinways

The connection uses a Pennylane API token that you create in your Pennylane settings. It is stored encrypted and never displayed again.

  1. 1

    Open the developer settings in Pennylane

    In Pennylane, go to Settings, then Connectivity, then Developers.

  2. 2

    Create an API token

    Grant it the customer invoices, customers and attachments permissions, read and write.

  3. 3

    Paste the token in Joinways

    In Settings, Integrations, Pennylane, paste the token. It is stored encrypted.

  4. 4

    Turn on auto-sync

    Finalized invoices and credit notes start flowing to Pennylane, with clients and attachments.

Two situations where it changes the day

Month-end close without an export

End of month: your accountant opens Pennylane and everything is already there, invoices, credit notes, PDFs. Nobody exported a CSV or attached documents one by one.

The credit note that no longer gets lost

A partial cancellation generates a credit note. It reaches Pennylane like the invoice it corrects: the accountant sees both, the file is consistent.

Why plug your venue billing into Pennylane?

Venues that bill from their event tool and keep books in Pennylane usually bridge the two by hand: monthly exports, PDFs attached one by one, client records typed twice. It works until it does not, a missing invoice at closing time, a credit note the accountant never saw.

The integration makes the bridge automatic. Invoices and credit notes finalized in Joinways are pushed to Pennylane as they are issued, complete with client and attachment. Your accountant works from a ledger that is always current, and closing stops being an archaeology exercise.

And without the Pennylane integration?

The bridge between billing and bookkeeping is manual: monthly exports, PDFs attached one at a time, clients typed twice. It holds as long as nobody forgets anything.

The missing invoice shows up at closing, the forgotten credit note at the audit. Accounting becomes an investigation instead of a read.

Pennylane integration, common questions

What exactly is sent to Pennylane?
Finalized invoices and credit notes, with their amounts, the client record and the PDF attachment. Drafts are not sent.
How is the connection made?
With a Pennylane API token you create in Pennylane's developer settings, with permissions on customer invoices, customers and attachments. The token is stored encrypted.
Is the sending automatic?
Yes, when auto-sync is enabled: each finalized document is sent on its own. You can see synced, pending and failed documents in your settings.
What if a document fails to sync?
It appears in the error count in your settings, so nothing fails silently. You can act on it instead of discovering it at closing.
Are clients duplicated in Pennylane?
No. The client attached to the invoice is matched or created in Pennylane, keeping the ledger aligned with your CRM.
Does my accountant need access to Joinways?
No. They keep working in Pennylane, which now receives everything on time, with attachments.
Can I turn off automatic sync?
Yes. Automatic sending toggles on and off in your settings, and the sync counters stay visible either way.
