How to Resolve “Could Not Get the Name QuickBooks Company File” Error After Webgility Desktop Update.

This article helps Webgility Desktop users resolve scheduler issues encountered during a Webgility Desktop version update, where orders do not post and an error message like “could not get the name QuickBooks company file” appears.

Steps to Resolve

1. Update Webgility Desktop


2. Verify Scheduler Settings

  • In Webgility, go to Connections, then Get Latest Data & Settings, and download both QuickBooks and Store data.

  • On the Webgility Dashboard, locate the Scheduler icon in the upper right corner.

  • Click the small arrow next to the Scheduler icon to view settings.


  • Also, verify the frequency and timing for each enabled task, and click on the Blue Dropdown to show additional settings

  • After confirming, click Save.


3. Check QuickBooks Company File Connection

Ensure the following:

  • Webgility is connected to the correct QuickBooks company file.

  • QuickBooks and Webgility are running on the same machine with the company file open.

  • QuickBooks is running in Single User Mode with the Admin Credentials.

If the connection still fails:

  1. Open QuickBooks in Single User Mode using Admin credentials.

  2. Go to Edit, go to Preferences and click on Integrated Applications.

  3. Remove the Unify certificate, then click Save.

  4. Return to Webgility and retest the QuickBooks connection; this will regenerate the QuickBooks certificate for Webgility Desktop which we just removed.

  5. Please Refer to Regenerate QuickBooks Certificate.

4. Post Orders to QuickBooks

  • Go to the New Orders tab in Webgility.

  • Right-click on the order you want to sync and choose Schedule for Accounting.

  • The order will move to the Scheduled tab.

  • Start the Scheduler to process and sync the order with QuickBooks. You may also refer to How to Start or Stop the Scheduler.
