MinuteDock connects with your Xero file to sync across your Xero contacts list. You can then record time in MinuteDock against your clients and generate invoices in MinuteDock to send to Xero as a draft.
Set up Your Xero Connection
Establish the connection between MinuteDock and your Xero organization with a simple authorization process. Once connected, MinuteDock will immediately begin syncing your Xero Contacts.
What you'll need:
Admin access to your Xero organization
The Manage MinuteDock Account & Users Permission
Import and Sync Xero Contacts
Your Xero Contacts automatically sync to MinuteDock as Contacts you can track time against. Run manual syncs to update your Contact list and merge any duplicates created before connecting.
Key points:
Xero Contacts sync automatically every 24 hours
Changes in Xero update MinuteDock (one-way sync)
Merge duplicate Contacts to consolidate Time Entries
Send Invoices to Xero
Generate invoices from your tracked time and send them directly to Xero as draft invoices. Your Xero branding and templates are automatically applied, ready for final review and sending to clients.
What happens:
Invoices appear as drafts in Xero
Time Entries are marked as invoiced in MinuteDock
Xero handles client delivery and payment processing
Manage Xero Field Settings
Configure how MinuteDock automatically applies Xero accounting fields (Items, Tracking Categories, and Ledger Accounts) to your invoices. Set defaults and customize by User, Contact, Project, or Task for complete automation.
Automation options:
Set organization-wide defaults
Override settings at multiple levels
Eliminate manual field selection during invoicing
