Why don’t I see older transactions in Digits? Digits imports all historical transactions available through the BILL API. If data appears to be 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)
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.
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.
