### How to Connect to BILL
{% hint style="danger" %}
Warning: You will need administrator privileges in BILL in order to connect.
{% endhint %}
To connect a client’s BILL account:
1. Log in to the **client’s dashboard.**
2. Click **Connections** in the left-hand menu.
3. Click the **Bills & Expenses** tab.
4. Find **BILL** and click **Connect.**
5. Log in to the client’s **BILL** account to generate a **Sync Token.**
***
What is a Sync Token?
A Sync Token is a name and password pair used only for syncing BILL with other platforms—it can’t be used to log into your BILL or Digits account.
### How to Generate a Sync Token in BILL
1. In BILL, go to **Settings → Sync & Integrations → Tokens.**
2. Click **New.**
3. Enter a **Name** for the Token, then click **Save.**
4. Copy the **Token Name** and **Token Password.**
{% hint style="danger" %}
**WARNING:** Save **Token Name** and **Password** before leaving the page—they’re only shown once:exclamation:
{% endhint %}
Then, back in **Digits:**
5. Enter the **Token Name** and **Token Password** in Digits.
6. Click **Connect.**
7. Once connected, Digits begins syncing data automatically.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**If you already created a Sync Token before:**\
BILL will show only the *Token Name* — not the password.\
To get a new Token Password, you’ll need to **create a new Sync Token** (repeat step 1).
{% endhint %}
***
### What Happens After Connection
Once connected, **✨**Digits will automatically:
* Import the client’s full transaction history from BILL
* Sync new bills, invoices, and payments automatically
* Automatically categorize and assign parties
* Start a sync to keep the Ledger updated
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Import time may vary based on the client’s data volume and activity in BILL.
{% endhint %}

### Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t I see older transactions in Digits?
Digits imports all historical transactions available through the BILL API. If data appears missing, verify that the transaction history is accessible in your BILL account or re-sync from your client’s dashboard.
What should I do if the BILL connection stops syncing?
Reconnect from the **Connections** tab in your client’s dashboard. If errors persist, contact [Digits Support.](mailto:help@digits.com)
Will my BILL categories and GL coding carry over into Digits?
No. Digits does not sync or map category/GL coding data from BILL. Instead, Digits uses its own AI-based approach to automatically categorize imported bills and payments. If a transaction is categorized differently from what you expected, you can update it directly in the Digits Ledger.
For a full breakdown of what data does and doesn't sync from BILL, see [Sync Matrix for Digits - BILL Payables & Receivables](/firms-connections/bill-sync-matrix.md)
