Xero

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Xero to your CData Connect Cloud account:

Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.
Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.
Type Xero into the search field, then click the data source name.
On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
Select the Authentication method, then proceed to the relevant section and follow those instructions.

Enter the OAuth Client Id in your app settings.
Enter the OAuth Client Secret in your app settings.
Select a Schema from the drop down list.
(Optional) Set a Tenant Id to connect to. If left blank, the connection will use the first available tenant.
Click Sign in to connect securely through OAuth. This action opens the Xero sign-in page in a new tab.
Log in to your Xero account and provide the requested permissions (if applicable).
At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add Xero Connection page, click Save & Test.
- If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.
- If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.
- Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
