Integrations between Dext Prepare and an accounting software expire once a year. You’ll receive a publishing error when this happens, and will have to complete a short re-connection process to continue publishing items.
This article is relevant to the legacy Dext experience. You can access the article for the enhanced Dext experience here.
Important for businesses: To be able to integrate with an accounting software you must be assigned the Admin role. If you cannot see the Connections section in the sidebar it means you don’t have this access. Reach out to your account administrator or accountant/bookkeeper to request access.
