Introduction

Tripletex is Norwegian cloud accounting software for small and medium-sized businesses. It covers bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, and project management, so business owners and their accountants manage day-to-day finances in one system.

Activate Tripletex

Partner keys

You’ll need your own application, registered with Tripletex. Tripletex does not use OAuth2. It authenticates with two tokens: a consumer token, which is yours, and an employee token, which belongs to your end user.

1. Apply for API access

   Fill in Tripletex’s developer application form to request a commercial integration.

   Approval typically takes 2–3 weeks and is not guaranteed. Tripletex then emails you a Consumer token and confirms your application name.

Activate Tripletex in your Chift account

In Connectors, enter your Consumer token, and in Application Name the name Tripletex approved.

Connector settings

Environment chooses which Tripletex environment the connection runs against.

• Production (default): the connection uses Tripletex’s live environment. Only production tokens work here.
• Sandbox: the connection uses Tripletex’s test environment, at api-test.tripletex.tech. Only tokens from a Tripletex test account work here.

Leave it on Production for real connections, and switch to Sandbox when testing with a Tripletex test account.

Application Name holds the application name Tripletex approved for you.

Chift shows it to the end user during connection, so they select the right application when creating their Employee Token.

It is required for every connection. Without it, the Tripletex connector cannot be activated.

Tripletex setup guide for end users

The full step-by-step, with screenshots.

Before they start, your end users need:

• a Tripletex subscription on Smart or higher, with the Integrasjoner add-on active (paid on Smart)
• a user-admin account in Tripletex, with the entitlements the integration needs
• the token must be created in the company’s own Tripletex account, not from an accounting firm’s client access

To connect, they:

• create an Employee Token in Tripletex, selecting the application name shown on the connection screen, with Adapted setup and All entitlements
• paste the Employee Token into the connection form
• pick the Default analytic plan used for accounting (Project or Department), needed if you send analytic accounts

Rate limits

Tripletex limits API calls per employee token for each integration, but publishes no figures. Each response returns the current allowance in its headers: X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining and X-Rate-Limit-Reset.

When the limit is exceeded, Tripletex returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests. Every request then fails until the current period resets.

Chift automatically manages these limits to optimize performance and prevent interruptions. However, once the API rate limit is reached, Chift cannot bypass these limitations.

See Tripletex’s API documentation (Rate limiting section).

Limitations & specificities

Invoices

Only customer invoices and credit notes can be created through the connector. Supplier invoices are rejected.

Numbering

Invoice numbers sent to Tripletex can contain digits only: no letters, prefixes or separators.

Chart of accounts & VAT

On an invoice, each line’s VAT code must be allowed on its ledger account in Tripletex, otherwise the invoice is rejected.

Payments & matching

Rules on payments:

• All invoices linked to one payment belong to the same customer.
• A payment cannot link customer invoices and supplier invoices at the same time.
• All invoices are in the payment’s currency.
• A payment in a currency other than NOK needs an exchange rate.

Analytics

An invoice can carry only one analytic account, taken from the default plan chosen at connection (Project or Department). Without a default plan, analytic accounts are rejected.
