02The adapter

A Connectify-owned Xero adapter, not a packaged connector

The runtime takes care of it by keeping the Xero adapter inside our own runtime, monitored by our SRE rotation and updated as Xero Limited ships breaking changes. That means the field maps, sync cadences, and replay rules are shaped to your exact data model — including Bank rules + reconciliation worksheet exporter and Xero API coverage for invoices, bills, bank transactions and contacts. For architecture firms, the difference shows up the first time the upstream API throws a 500 — the adapter retries, journals the failure, and never silently swallows a transaction.

Where Xero usually breaks — and how the adapter holds

The day-to-day pain shows up in phase billing and drawing revision tracking. The adapter neutralizes that by mapping every payload through a versioned schema layer with explicit lineage — every record can be traced from the Xero originating event down to the field that wrote it, and the next finance close stops being a fire drill. The adapter also ships with Tracking category mapping for departmental reporting so the runtime can keep up when architecture firm crews push volume spikes during seasonal peaks.

Why Architecture Firms pull Xero integration the hardest

Architecture Firms are constantly fighting phase billing and drawing revision tracking — and Xero sits exactly in the middle of that workflow. Connectify pre-maps the Xero entities the industry actually uses (not the entire vendor catalog) and wires Xero API coverage for invoices, bills, bank transactions and contacts into the lifecycle that matters: order-to-cash. That is the difference between a connector that lights up a checkbox and an adapter that and the next finance close stops being a fire drill.

Commercial terms — one flat monthly plan, no setup fee

Connectify charges a monthly retainer sized to your message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, and no setup fee to get started. The Xero adapter goes live only after it is reconciled and signed off by the team that will operate it inside the architecture firm workflow. A one-page exit clause hands you the code if you ever leave, so Connectify keeps the adapter working in production to keep your business.

05FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Will this break our existing reports?

    No. The adapter writes through a versioned schema layer with full lineage. Existing reports, BI extracts and Excel pivot-tables keep working unchanged while new fields and new objects are added behind the scenes for the Xero surface.

  2. How is data security handled?

    Tokens and credentials live inside a hardware-backed secret store with audit logging on every read. The Xero adapter runs on isolated workers with deny-by-default egress, and every message is replayable from a tamper-evident journal for downstream forensics.

  3. How long does the Xero integration take to ship?

    Our standard window is thirty days from signed scope to live Xero adapter in production, plus a one-week monitored stabilization phase. For Architecture Firms, that includes a sandbox loop with your team, parallel-run reconciliation, and a documented runbook handed to your operations lead.

  4. Does it work with our existing Xero licenses?

    Yes — the adapter rides on top of your existing Xero subscription. We use service-principal or OAuth M2M credentials so the integration never burns a named-user seat and never pushes you into a higher tier.

  5. Is this a packaged Xero connector or a custom build?

    It is a Connectify-owned adapter, not a third-party packaged connector. We maintain the code, we monitor the runtime, and the fields, hooks, and reconciliation rules are shaped to your exact data model — not a generic schema we hope matches.

  6. Can the Xero adapter handle our custom fields?

    On first connection the adapter discovers every custom field, custom object and custom workflow inside your Xero tenant and presents them as first-class mappings — you decide which to mirror, which to ignore, and which to enrich.
