This topic explains how to create Integration Credentials which you can then use to connect your native Xero Integration Configurations with your Xero system. See Configuring Xero Integrations.
To create Xero integration Credentials:
1. Select Integrations:
2. In the Integrations section, select Credentials:
The Credentials page opens in Grid view and any existing Credentials are shown for each external system.
Tip: Credentials List View? Alternatively, you can switch to List view and start your create workflow from there.
3. Select Configure new credentials. The Create page opens at Stage 1: Select a destination and a name.
4. Enter Credential details:
Destination. Use the drop-down list to select Xero.
Name. Descriptive name for the Credential.
5. Select Next. The page adjusts to show Stage 1 as checked-off and completed and shifts focus to Stage 2: Configure and create.
6. Under Xero Connection, an information panel shows advising that you'll need to provide authentication details on the Xero website.
7. Select Go to Xero. You are redirected to the Log in to Xero page:
8. Log into your Xero Account.
Important! Ensure that the Xero org you are logged into to is the one you need to create the Credential for and which you'll use to connect your integration to Xero.
9. Grant access to your Xero organisation for the m3ter integration Credential:
If you have multiple Xero organisations set up, select the one you want the m3ter integration Credential to access and then select Continue:
If you have a single Xero organisation set up, select Allow access for the m3ter integration Credential:
You are redirected back to m3ter.
10. Select Create credential. You are returned to the Credentials page Grid view where the Credential is listed on the Xero card:
The Credential is now available for connecting your Integration Configuration with Xero. See Configuring Xero Integrations>Setting Up Authentication for the Integration.
Warning: Authentication with Xero not completed! If you fail to complete authentication with your Xero instance promptly, a time-to-live (TTL) of ten minutes is imposed after which the Credential is removed and you'll have to start again. If you return to the Credentials page within that TTL, any Credentials waiting for authentication completion will have a suffix of "Incomplete" attached, such as: Xero Credential 1 (Incomplete).
