Why Connect Keap to Xero?

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

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

Online orders in Keap and in-store inventory in Xero are never in sync, frustrating customers

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

Contacts in Keap and contacts in Xero drift out of sync, leading to outdated details on invoices, emails, and reports

Invoice and payment data is re-entered between Keap and Xero manually, doubling the work and risking GST errors at month-end

How We Help

Connecting Keap (crm & sales) with Xero (accounting & finance) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Professional Services and Retail & E-commerce businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of contacts and invoices data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Keap uses a REST API with OAuth authentication, and Xero authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Unified Contacts Across Both Platforms

Contacts in Keap and contacts in Xero stay perfectly aligned. Every update, whether it is a new phone number, email change, or company association, is reflected in both systems within seconds.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying contacts between Keap and Xero by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

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

Built-In Error Handling and Alerts

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

Keap to Xero Use Cases

Scheduled reconciliation between Keap and Xero

A daily or weekly reconciliation job compares records across both platforms, flags discrepancies, and generates a mismatch report. Catches sync gaps before they become accounting headaches.

Automated error handling and retry for Keap/Xero sync

When a sync between Keap and Xero fails due to a rate limit, network issue, or validation error, the integration retries automatically with exponential backoff. Your team is alerted only when intervention is genuinely needed.

Sync Keap contacts to Xero contacts

When a contact is created or updated in Keap, the corresponding contact record in Xero is automatically created or updated. Contact details, company associations, and custom fields are all mapped.

Auto-generate Xero invoices from Keap

When deals are completed in Keap, an invoice is automatically created in Xero with the correct contact, line items, GST rates, and payment terms. Eliminates the delay between finishing work and sending the invoice.
