Connect Xero

Go to Account ›Integrations . The Accounting integrations card reads “Connect Xero to push invoices and payroll timesheets straight into Xero. Accounts and GST treatment are worked out automatically from your Xero organisation.” Below it, while nothing is connected, the panel reads “Not connected. Connect your Xero account to push invoices and payroll timesheets straight into Xero.” next to the Connect to Xero button (in Xero’s own blue).

Select the button. OneForce Care opens a new browser tab straight away (so a popup blocker doesn’t stop it), then points that tab at Xero once it’s ready. If your browser still blocks the new tab, OneForce Care sends your current tab to Xero instead.

If the connection can’t even start (for example a configuration problem), the new tab closes itself and you see an error toast in the original tab, either the specific reason or Could not start the Xero connection.

In the new tab, sign in to Xero if you aren’t already, choose the Xero organisation to connect (if your Xero login has more than one), and approve the access OneForce Care is requesting.

Xero sends that tab back to the Integrations tab once you’ve approved access. On success you see Xero connected. and the card now reads “Connected to <your Xero organisation's name>. Invoices and timesheets push straight into Xero.” with a Disconnect button in place of Connect. If the tab you started from is still open, it picks up the new connected state too, without you needing to reload it.

If something goes wrong in Xero (you decline access, or the connection can’t complete), you instead see Xero connection failed. Try again, or check the Xero app configuration.
