Tabs3 Billing Code Import
Bring your clients and matters list from Tabs3 into Billables AI
There are two ways to enable Billables AI with Tabs3:
- Automated Syncing via custom-built workflows. This path requires third party development work which incurs a separate fee and is available for enterprise (20+ users) on an annual contract. If you're interested in this option, reach out to support@billables.ai
- Manual import and exports. Upload your clients and matters into Billables and manually export your time entries once approved. Billables AI automates the time-keeping portion of the process.
Instructions for Manual Imports and Exports
Note: Tabs3 does not have an export function. Your data can only be exported through the PracticeMaster interface. The PracticeMaster version should be compatible with the Tabs3 version to synchronize properly. If you are having issues with setting up PracticeMaster or have sync issues, contact Tabs3 support to set up PracticeMaster.
