I am trying to create a Custom App through Zapier’s Development platform but I can’t pass the authentication process. Browse other questions tagged zapier xero-api or ask your own question. I actually ended up building this out in zapier including capturing the hook for the authorisation code.

Zapier can fire triggers when a receipt, invoice or contact is created in Xero. Also, if a trigger happens in another app, it can create an action in Xero – a new contact or new invoice. The connection works well for transactions with one trouble area- invoice lines. We like to track what our customers purchase and the current Xero – Zapier integration only lets you provide a single input rather than multiple lines for an invoice. Yes you can use zapier rules to format for multiple lines but this is not practical. Each invoice line has multiple columns so you would need to add a lot rules making each sync quite costly since Zapier charges based on the number of times data is handled.

  • Some of the popular ones being used with Xero are Wufoo, Google Docs, Paypal, Dropbox, Evernote, Zoho and Zendesk.

The lack of triggers and actions for quotes is about to make me return to QBO. (I don’t like QBO, switched 3 years ago) The problem is, even if quotes were included I’m not sure it would be usable. Line items are handled so terribly that it is useless. The other issue is that contacts must match exactly to look them up, by name only.

It’s easy to connect HubSpot + Xero and requires absolutely zero coding experience—the only limit is your own imagination. Now, go to Test Authentication and go through the authorization flow to connect your organisation. The response from the test call will include the tenantId which you can copy to your clipboard.

The Zapier Xero integration will automatically create invoices, contacts, and more with data from other apps you use, like CRMs, payment platforms, and eCommerce stores. Use Xero with Zapier to take the repetitive, manual tasks out of accounting work. When events happen in other apps—like new orders created in Stripe—Zapier can automatically create invoices and update customer info in Xero. And when there are new bills or payments in Xero, you can set up Zapier integrations to send out emails, update your CRM, or perform thousands of other actions within the 1,000+ supported apps.

This way you, don’t have to spend another second on copy pasting customers’ info EVER AGAIN.

I was thinking of using the oauth-2 beta, but it has a complex flow that isn’t ideal for my use case of just connecting to one organisation in a simple restful setup. It would be a useful start for Zapier to enhance the invoice and bill creation to be ‘create/ edit’.

Now is time to set up how we want to use the information in ZenMaid to fill the Xero form. Zapier should automatically find your Xero account, if there are multiples, select the account you want to connect to ZenMaid. Next, select the ZenMaid account that you want to connect.

“One of the most popular uses of our Xero-Zapier integration is the ability to automate invoices from actions in other apps. It can also map information from one tool to Xero,” Ashley says. Zapier is a workflow automation tool that connects the work apps you use every day.

Unfortunately, I am unable to create a zap for creating a XERO quote. My clients is using google sheets to input timesheets information and creating invoices using macros. Ah, that info is definitely outdated — it is indeed possible to create line-item invoices in Xero now. For what it’s worth, workato has many more actions available for xero including adding lines to an invoice. As far as I know, the current integration only allows 1 invoice line from a Google spreadsheet, and similar for tracking options. I will ping the Zapier team now to see if they can provide some more detail.

Then one has to rely on triggering off contact updates as well or worse manually updating CRM contacts that become out of sync. The API functionality for quotes in Xero is non-existent and thus Zapier has no trigger events for quotes. If I’m going to pay for this integration I need more triggers. If I want to edit a Xero bill or invoice, or create an invoice or bill with greater complexity , then I have to use my own php routines.

As you’ve noted, the Xero integration does not have a Create Quote action. It’s something other users have asked for so I’ve gone ahead and added your vote for this feature request.

There is so much variation in how names might get entered that this is a worthless feature right now. There should be an option to find customers by email. This is generally more accurate and helps when there are multiple contacts under one customer.
