Xero New Customer Onboarding

Auto-populate customer details in Xero and send welcome email with payment terms.

When a new customer is created in your CRM or form, Nora adds them to Xero with standard contact info, tax ID, payment terms, and invoice email. Sends them a welcome email confirming their account. Reduces manual entry and ensures consistent data.

Adding new customers to Xero is manual data entry that's error-prone and slows invoicing. This automation triggers when a new customer is detected (via CRM webhook, form submission, or manual tag), then Nora pulls their name, email, phone, address, and any tax ID or industry info. It creates the customer contact in Xero with standardized payment terms (e.g., Net 30), invoice email address, and optional industry coding. For high-value customers, it can auto-assign a dedicated account manager or sales rep. Nora then sends the new customer a welcome email with your company details, standard payment terms, and a link to your invoice portal (if you have one). This cuts new customer setup time from 10 minutes to seconds and ensures consistent defaults. Useful for fast-growing teams that add customers weekly.
