Connect and manage Xero
Authorise a Xero organisation securely without managing developer credentials in clinic settings.

Step-by-step guide
- 1Open Sales & Invoices, then select Xero.
- 2Select Connect Xero. Appointa redirects you to Xero’s consent screen; never send a Xero password or client secret to clinic staff.
- 3Choose exactly one Xero organisation and approve the requested accounting scopes.
- 4Return to Appointa and confirm the organisation name and connection status.
- 5Choose which streams can sync automatically: invoices and credit notes, payments, contacts, and tax-rate mapping.
- 6Add optional default sales and payment account codes. Line-level account codes take priority.
- 7Use Sync now to process pending events. Sales and checkout remain available if Xero is temporarily unavailable.
- 8Refunds and adjustments sync as accounts-receivable credit notes linked to the original invoice where possible.
- 9If authorisation expires, select Connect Xero again. Appointa encrypts rotating refresh tokens and never shows them in the clinic UI.
- 10Disconnect from the Xero tab when access should be revoked.
