Zahara + Xero Integration FAQs
Everything you need to know about setup, syncing, and how Zahara makes invoice approvals in Xero faster and smarter.
Can I automate invoice approvals in Xero with Zahara?
Yes. Zahara lets you build multi-step approval workflows that connect with Xero. Invoices are routed to the right people, reminders are sent, and every approval is tracked with a clear audit trail.
How does Zahara connect with Xero?
You can connect Zahara to your Xero account in a few quick steps. It’s secure, simple, and doesn’t require any technical setup. Once linked, Zahara pulls in suppliers, tax codes, and accounts from Xero automatically.
Do I need a separate Xero login for Zahara to connect?
Yes. Zahara needs a dedicated Xero user account to connect securely. It’s best to create a login just for Zahara — that way, everything stays clean, traceable, and easy to manage.
Does Zahara send invoices to Xero automatically?
You’ve got options. You can set invoices to export automatically once they’re approved, or, if you prefer a bit more control, hit send manually. Either way works, but honestly, we’d go with auto. Life’s too short to click buttons.
How does Zahara scan and read invoice data?
Suppliers email invoices straight to Zahara’s Invoice Inbox. From the moment they land, Zahara uses AI to scan, read, and extract the key details — including line items. Each invoice is then automatically routed through the correct workflow. If it’s from a trusted supplier, the whole process can run without a single manual touch.
Can Zahara perform 3-way line item matching
Yes. Zahara uses AI to match invoices to both purchase orders and goods received notes at the line-item level. It checks quantity, price, and line descriptions to catch mismatches before approval, even across complex multi-line documents. This means fewer errors, faster approvals, and tighter cost control without manual reconciliation.
Will Zahara match supplier data and line items correctly?
Zahara reads invoices with smart AI and matches suppliers, line items, and tax codes to your Xero data. It follows your rules, applies your logic, and keeps things accurate every time.
Can I track budgets in Zahara while still using Xero?
Yes. If you’re on the Business plan or using the budgets feature (see pricing), Zahara shows you what’s already committed and what’s still available. You’ll get clear budget visibility before anything’s approved or pushed to Xero — so you can stop overspending before it starts.
What if the same invoice gets sent twice?
Zahara reads invoices with smart AI and matches suppliers, line items, and tax codes to your Xero data. It follows your rules, applies your logic, and keeps things accurate every time.
