Contact linking with Xero (Clients)
The first time an invoice is created or client money is withdrawn/deposited on a matter you will need to link the InTouch contact with Xero.
Supplier contacts are handled differently so you don't have to link them.
Linking a contact with Xero
- Select 'Edit' on the contact card
- Select 'Link Contact with Xero'
- Type in the desired Xero contact nameThis name will be used on the invoice. If the invoice needs to be addressed to two contacts, provide both names within the Xero contact name field.
- InTouch will search Xero for any matching entries
- If the contact exists within Xero, select 'Link'

Once linked, the client will be connected to Xero on any subsequent transactions they have with you.
Delinking contacts
