Why Connect Doodle to Xero?

No single source of truth when polls live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Patient appointment data in Doodle and billing records in Xero require double entry, risking compliance issues

Reporting across Doodle and Xero requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Doodle and Xero aligned

Client engagement details in Doodle and time-tracking data in Xero do not align, making billing inaccurate

Manually copying data between Doodle and Xero wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Xero adds complexity: advanced reporting and custom financial reports are limited on lower plans - detailed management reporting often requires exporting to spreadsheets

How We Help

Every week without this integration costs your Professional Services and Healthcare & Allied Health business 8+ hours/week in manual data handling between Doodle and Xero. Our Harvard-educated consultants build a sync that eliminates that waste permanently. On the technical side, Doodle uses a REST API with API key authentication, and Xero authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Amplify Doodle Strengths

Doodle excels because group scheduling polls make finding a time that works for multiple participants significantly easier than email back-and-forth. Connecting it to Xero ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Built-In Error Handling and Alerts

Our integrations include automatic retries, error queuing, and real-time notifications. If something fails between Doodle and Xero, your team knows immediately and the system self-recovers where possible.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Doodle and Xero in sync, even as your business doubles.

Maximise Billable Hours

When time-tracking and client data sync between Doodle and Xero automatically, your consultants spend more time on client work and less on admin.

Doodle to Xero Use Cases

Automated error handling and retry for Doodle/Xero sync
