Setting it up
Setup takes 5-15 minutes depending on whether you have an existing Xero account. Prerequisites: active Xero account with admin access, your InvoiceQuickly workspace, and the relevant API permissions or OAuth authorization. From Settings → Integrations → Xero, follow the connection flow. The integration syncs bidirectionally where supported. Initial setup includes mapping data fields between systems.
Best practices
Define one source of truth for customer data
When you connect Xero, decide which system owns customer records. Most teams keep their primary CRM/ERP as the source of truth and let invoices sync into it. Prevents duplicate customer creation and reconciliation issues.
Test with a small batch before production rollout
Test with 5-10 invoices to verify field mapping, tax handling, and payment workflow. Adjust configuration based on test results.
Reconcile sync status weekly
Network failures and OAuth expirations occasionally cause sync gaps. Weekly reconciliation catches issues early.
Document the integration scope for your team
Write a brief internal doc covering: which workflows use the integration, who owns reconciliation, what to do when sync fails.
Common issues
Sync stops after working initially
Most common cause: OAuth token expired (typically 60-100 days). Reconnect via Settings → Integrations → Xero. Set a reminder to refresh authorization every 60 days.
Field mapping creates duplicate or missing data
Adjust mapping in Settings → Integrations → Xero → Field Mapping. Re-sync affected records after fixing.
Rate-limit errors during high-volume operations
Xero APIs typically rate-limit bulk operations. InvoiceQuickly handles backoff automatically; retry during off-peak hours if persistent.
