# QuickFix (Beta)

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Oracle NetSuite** connector is currently in beta phase. Learn more about the [Beta Program](https://docs.digibee.com/documentation/connectors-and-triggers/connectors/tools/broken-reference).
{% endhint %}

**QuickFix** sends and receives financial messages using the [FIX (Financial Information eXchange)](https://www.fixtrading.org/) protocol, which is a global standard for real-time electronic trading communication. It enables the integration of trading systems and financial institutions with brokers, exchanges, and other market participants.

## **Parameters**

Take a look at the configuration parameters for the connector. Parameters supported by [Double Braces expressions](https://docs.digibee.com/documentation/connectors-and-triggers/double-braces/overview) are marked with `(DB)`.
