Connect Xero
Custom Connection (client credentials) — 5 minutes.
← All tools
⚠ Custom Connections only work for organisations based in AU, NZ, UK, or US. If your Xero org is registered elsewhere, message us instead — we’ll set this up together another way.
- Go to developer.xero.com/app/manage → New app → Custom Connection (this is a premium Xero feature — your Xero plan needs to support it).
- Select the scopes we need (click to select from the list — we’ll confirm the exact list with you), then click Create Connection.
- Xero emails the authorising user (you, or whoever owns the Xero org) a link — open it and approve the connection.
- Back on the app page, copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
- Your Organisation (Tenant) ID is shown on the same page once the connection is approved.
Custom Connections use client-credentials — no login flow to maintain, no refresh token to expire. Just the client ID and secret to request a fresh access token whenever we need one.
Stuck, or would rather we just did this?
Message us on WhatsApp or email info@bilazann.com — we'll walk through Xero with you, screen-share or voice, whichever's easier.
