Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
QuickBooks on its own
QuickBooks sees what was billed and paid. It has no idea which marketing produced the customer.
Timing. QuickBooks shows revenue when invoices and sales receipts are entered, which can trail the sale in a busy month.
Access. The QuickBooks Online Accounting API with read-only OAuth access.
