The Essentials to Automate Customer Updates in Xero Using Stripe
Alright rockstar, you're about to become an automation wizard. But before that, you've gotta gather a few essentials:
- An Activepieces account. This is our magic wand for this amazing automation trick.
- A Stripe account. This is where we'll be bringing in new customers from.
- A Xero account. This is the final destination where your customer data from Stripe will be updated.
Once you've got these on hand, you're ready to kickstart this epic automation adventure. Ready to roll? Let's do this! 😎
Steps to automate syncing new customers from Stripe to Xero
Step 1: Copy the Stripe to Xero automation template
Alright, let's dive into this. First things first, grab this template on Activepieces. It's a wizarding tool that automates the process of syncing new customers from Stripe to Xero.
As you copy this template, the system will prompt you to sign in or sign up for your Activepieces account. Once done, you'll have your very own copy of the flow, ready to be customized and put to work.
Step 2: Understand the Stripe to Xero automation structure
Now that the automation template is safely copied and tucked under your account, take a moment to understand its flow.
The automation begins with a trigger, aptly named 'New Customer'. Every time a new customer pops up in Stripe, this trigger kicks off the automation. The next step, charmingly called 'Create or Update Contact', does exactly what it says on the tin. It takes the new customer data from the trigger and uses it to create or update the contact in Xero.
Basically, this flow is a life-saver that bridges the gap between Stripe and Xero, keeping your customer data synced and updated, without you having to lift a finger. Sounds like a dream, doesn't it?
Step 3: Configure your Stripe to Xero flow
Okay, next up is setting up the automation to play nice with your accounts. A bit of tweaking here and there, and you'll have this baby purring like a kitten.
Start off by setting up the 'New Customer' trigger. You'll need to connect it to your Stripe account. Easy peasy, right? Then, move on to the 'Create or Update Contact' step. This one needs to be connected to your Xero account. Make sure you have your Xero account details handy to speed things along.
And voila! With these tweaks, the automation is ready to roll. All that's left is to kick back and watch as Stripe and Xero play together like besties, while you enjoy the sweet, sweet freedom of automation.
Congrats, my friend! You've just won yourself a ticket out of manual-update-hell. Now go enjoy that extra time and do something epic! 🚀
