Overview 

This utility allows the real-time transmission of data to and from your org using webhooks. A webhook provides a way to communicate between two systems or applications in real-time. In Accounting Seed, we use webhooks to update records in your org based upon events that occur in another system and allow data to be queried and sent from your org to the external system.  This Accounting Seed Hub (AS Hub) authorization is a prerequisite for the use of several features including the Financial Reports Hub, Invoice Automation, AP Automation and Stripe Payment Link. 

Important: The setup articles for features that use the AS Hub contain the complete set of steps including authorizing the AS Hub.  This article contains the basic settings required to authorize the Hub.

Guidance

• The user who authorizes the AS Hub should be someone unlikely to be deactivated, such as an integration user. 
• Before you authorize the AS Hub, you must first login with your credentials.  You cannot authorize the Hub using the "login as" ability.
• The user must have a full Financial Suite license.

Steps to Authorize Accounting Seed (AS) Hub

1. Assign the "AS Hub Authorization" permission set (available in the Summer '26 Preview release) to the authorizing user. If you don’t see the AS Hub permission set, create a custom one and add these permissions:
   1. Click Apex Classes and add the following permissions: 
      • AcctSeed.AccountingSeedHubHelper
      • AcctSeed.AccountingSeedHubService
   2. Click System Permissions. Click the Edit button.
      • Search for "Approve access to connected apps that aren’t installed in this org" and select the checkbox. Click Save.
2. Assign the AS Full Admin permission set to the authorizing user.
3. If you are authorizing AS Hub for a specific feature, check the setup article to see if there are any feature-specific permissions and assign them.
