Connect a Xero organisation
1
Start the connection
During sign-up, choose Sign up with Xero. Or, any time afterwards, open Settings → Xero
and choose Connect Xero organisation. Connecting Xero requires the Owner or Admin
role.
2
Approve access in Xero
You’re redirected to Xero to sign in and approve. Xero shows you exactly which permissions
Ledgitify is requesting (all read-only) and which organisation you’re granting access to. If you
belong to more than one Xero organisation, pick the one you want to connect.

You're connected
Xero sends you back to Ledgitify and your first sync begins automatically. Ledgitify stores a
secure access token so it can keep your data up to date; it does not store your Xero login.
Connecting more than one organisation
A single Ledgitify user can connect several Xero organisations, one per Ledgitify organisation. Use the org switcher in the top navigation to move between them. This is designed for accountants and bookkeepers who manage multiple clients.Sign in with Xero vs. being invited
Account owner (connecting your own organisation)
Account owner (connecting your own organisation)
You grant the full read-only accounting scopes so Ledgitify can sync your transactions on an
ongoing basis. The access token is stored against your organisation.

Invited team member
When you join an existing Ledgitify organisation via an invite, Sign in with Xero is used
only to confirm your identity (name and email). It requests identity scopes only. No accounting
data is accessed and no token is stored for you, because your organisation is already connected
by its owner.
