How to connect to Xero Projects

You can connect Memtime to Xero Projects and take your time-tracking to the next level.

This integration is designed specifically for Xero Projects. If you try to authenticate any other type of Xero account, you will not be able to import entities or export time entries.


To help you get the most out of this integration, the following diagram illustrates how data gets synchronized between Memtime and Xero Projects:

Step 2: Authenticate Xero Projects

 

Please note that before you can authenticate Memtime with Xero Projects, your Xero Projects administrator must complete the authentication process with Memtime. This initial step is essential, as it enables access for all other users in your organization.

 

1. In Memtime, select Xero Projects from the Connected Apps list and click Authenticate. You will also be automatically prompted to authenticate.



2. A browser window will open. Enter your credentials to log in to your Xero account.

 

3. If prompted, you can allow Memtime to access your Xero Projects data. Memtime needs this access in order to synchronize your time entries automatically.
