When Pandadoc and Xero operate independently, sales teams often find themselves manually entering client data from signed documents into Xero. This leads to discrepancies in invoice details, such as incorrect billing addresses or missing line items, which can confuse accounting teams and delay payment processing. For instance, if a contract signed in Pandadoc includes a discount that isn't recorded in Xero, the finance team may issue invoices that don't reflect the agreed terms, causing frustration for both clients and staff.

Top Ways to Automate PandaDoc & Xero

  • Automated Document Generation: Instantly create and send invoices and contracts from PandaDoc using data pulled directly from Xero, eliminating manual entry and reducing errors.
  • Real-Time Financial Updates: Automatically sync payment statuses and customer information between Xero and PandaDoc, ensuring that your team always has access to the latest financial data for informed decision-making.
  • Streamlined Approval Processes: Set up automated workflows that route documents for approval based on predefined criteria, allowing for faster turnaround times and improved collaboration across departments.

How to Build the PandaDoc → Xero Sync

  1. In Pandadoc, configure a webhook to trigger on the 'Document Signed' event. This will send a payload containing the document details.
  2. Set the webhook URL to your integration endpoint, such as https://your-integration-server.com/pandadoc-webhook.
  3. In your integration server, listen for incoming POST requests from the webhook. Extract the relevant data from the payload, specifically the client name, email, and any line items associated with the signed document.
  4. Prepare a JSON object with the extracted data, ensuring that the line items are formatted according to Xero's API requirements.
  5. Use the Xero API endpoint https://api.xero.com/api.xro/2.0/Invoices to create a new invoice. Ensure that you include the necessary headers for authentication and content type.
  6. POST the JSON object to the Xero API to create the invoice. Confirm the response to ensure the invoice was successfully created.

Developer Warnings & API Gotchas

  • Ensure that the line items from Pandadoc are correctly mapped to Xero's item codes; mismatches can cause the invoice creation to fail.
  • Be cautious with date formats; Pandadoc may use a different format than Xero, leading to potential errors when creating invoices.
  • When extracting client information, verify that the email address is valid and formatted correctly, as Xero requires a specific format for contact details.
