OAuth to Xero for allowing users to interact with Xero data

Ask us anything How do I?

Hi,

I am looking to determine the feasibility of using OAuth to connect to Xero. Authentication to the app in general would be via the Xano plugin.

I would want to add functionality to part of the app for users to connect to their Xero account and sync contacts/add invoices etc.

Is there any current information on this type of use case?

Cheers

Hey @aarty :wave:

I would check this with Xano’s team as the connection between both tools will be on the backend (Xano), as it’ll need to be synced with auth.

You can ask them here: https://community.xano.com/

Thanks for the reply. I haven’t set up OAuth before. My understanding is that I’d need to direct users to the Xero URL in Weweb and then that would redirect back with a token that I can pass to Xano.

I will check with Xano also, thanks for that suggestion.

I think you nailed the workflow indeed :ok_hand:
