Xero
Triggers
- New invoiceBeta. Runs for each new invoice in Xero, drafts included, with its number, total and due date, and the customer's name and email address. Watches sales invoices, or bills or both if you choose. Invoices already there when the workflow is turned on don't start it, and neither does one dated more than a week before it was entered.
- Invoice paidBeta. Runs when an invoice in Xero is paid in full, with its number, total and the day it was paid, and the customer's name and email address, so you can thank them without looking them up. Watches sales invoices, or bills or both if you choose. Invoices paid before the workflow is turned on don't start it.
- New quoteRuns for each new quote in Xero, drafts included, with its number, customer and total. Quotes already there when the workflow is turned on don't start it.
- Quote added or updatedRuns each time a quote in Xero is added or changes, such as when a customer accepts or declines it, with its status, number and total.
- New credit noteRuns for each new credit note in Xero, for customers or suppliers, with its number, contact and total.
- New purchase orderRuns for each new purchase order in Xero, drafts included, with its number, supplier and total.
