Understand the Xero Integration

The Xero integration displays the Xero invoices associated with a lead, person, company, or opportunity in the ‘Related’ section of that record. This is what it will look like on each record:

For each invoice shown, the following details are displayed:

  • Invoice Name/Number

  • Status

  • Issuer

  • Due Date

  • Total Due

  • Balance Due

Clicking on the Invoice Name will open the full invoice in Xero.

The number of invoices displayed will correspond with the number you choose when setting up the integration. Below the initial number of invoices displayed, you can click to expand the list.

Invoices are displayed in order of created date.

Invoices show up on each record based on a unique identifier for that record type. For Lead and Person records, we pull in invoices associated with the email address on the record. For Company records, we pull in invoices associated with the email addresses of all people related to that company. For Opportunity records, we pull in invoices associated with the email addresses of all people related to the opportunity and for all people related to the opportunity’s related companies.
