Documentation for Xero credentials. Use these credentials to authenticate Xero in n8n, a workflow automation platform.

Xero credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

Prerequisites

Create a Xero account.

Refer to Zero's API documentation for more information about the service.

To configure this credential, you'll need:

A Client ID: Generated when you create a new app for a custom connection.
A Client Secret: Generated when you create a new app for a custom connection.

To generate your Client ID and Client Secret, create an OAuth2 custom connection app in your Xero developer portal My Apps.

Use these settings for your app:

Xero App Name

Xero doesn't support app instances within the Xero Developer Centre that contain n8n in their name.

Select Web app as the Integration Type.
For the Company or Application URL, enter the URL of your n8n server or reverse proxy address. For cloud users, for example, this is: https://your-username.app.n8n.cloud/.
Copy the OAuth Redirect URL from n8n and add it as an OAuth 2.0 redirect URI in your app.
Select appropriate scopes for your app. Refer to OAuth2 Scopes for more information.
- To use all functionality in the Xero node, add the accounting.contacts and accounting.transactions scopes.

Refer to Xero's OAuth Custom Connections documentation for more information.
