While all online systems will list Strongbox as a connected app, only QuickBooks Online sends a notification to users.
QuickBooks Online is the only system that emails a notification to users at the moment. These notifications are only sent the first time there is a connection. No additional notifications are sent for subsequent connections.
The Primary Administrator for the account will receive an email notification as well as whichever administrator completes the connection. This email will simply state that the QB company was connected to a new App named Strongbox. (See below for samples.) Additionally, any administrator in QB can review the "connected apps" page and see Strongbox listed along with any other apps from the Intuit App store they may use.
Strongbox works with a wide variety of customers from financial institutions, Audit, and Client Advisory Services teams. If there is any concern over this notification, users can simply advise that they are testing out a new reporting tool.
When an Administrator connects Strongbox to their QuickBooks online account. There are two emails sent from Intuit AppCenter <do_not_reply@appcenter.intuit.com>.
This message is sent to the Administrator who made the connection:
A second message will go to the primary/original Administrator at the company notifying them that someone else made a connection.
