What they did
A lawn care and snow removal company in Quebec City used to retype every website quote request into QuickBooks before building the estimate. Now the form posts straight to n8n, the owner gets a notification with a short code and decides, and on his go n8n creates the customer in QuickBooks Online and drafts the estimate with the right service line and no price. He adds his price and sends it himself. It went live October 18 on n8n hosted on the company's own server.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Build me a workflow so quote requests from my website form go straight into [QuickBooks Online / my accounting tool]. When a request comes in, send me a short notification and wait for my OK. On my OK, create the customer and a draft estimate with the right service line for [list of services], but leave the price blank so I add it myself. Test it end to end in a sandbox before it touches my real books.
