Tip#44: Integrate with Xero to manage your financial operations



Managing your project finances becomes more efficient with Xero integration in Zoho Sprints. With this integration, you can sync your Zoho Sprints data with Xero. Once you sync them to Xero, you can easily create invoices in Xero. This feature significantly reduces manual effort and the risk of errors.

With the Xero extension installed in your Zoho Sprints workspace, you can:
  • Sync projects and work items directly to Xero
  • Log the work hours and sync them to your Xero account
  • Create invoices in Xero with the synced log hours
  • Streamline your billing process
Let's take an example to understand this integration better. As a project manager, creating invoices and calculating expenses becomes significantly easier when you integrate your tools effectively. If you have a Xero account, you can streamline the invoicing process by installing the Xero extension from the Zoho Sprints Marketplace.

To calculate a project's expenses in Xero, follow these steps:
  1. Sync the project from Zoho Sprints to Xero
    Navigate to the project’s details view in Zoho Sprints, then click the Xero icon in the right panel to initiate the sync.
  2. Sync work items
    Open any work item within the synced project and sync it with Xero.
  3. Add Log hours and sync with Xero
    Add log hours to the work item and ensure the "Add to Xero" option is checked.
Once this setup is complete, the project manager can click on the Xero widget located in the right navigation panel of the entity in Zoho Sprints. Click on the hyperlink in the Xero widget to switch to the corresponding page in Xero, where you can generate invoices.

Refer to this help document for a step-by-step process on how to install the extension and work with it effectively.

Your plan should be practical, calculative, and achievable for driving a qualitative success.    Laura's plan   Laura has a habit of planning her project deliverables before assigning work to her team-mates.

                                                            Continuing from our Tip #2 on leading to a sprint, let's see how to manage the work items on the Scrum board.  Once you start the sprint your work items are automatically displayed on the Scrum board where you will actually manage the work items. It is a snapshot of the backlog items identified for the current sprint.    The layout of the Scrum board Simply put, the scrum board is just like a physical board with sticky notes on which the work items of the active sprint are displayed.  The scrum board

                                                            Lanes define a clear path to reach your destination. In Agile, swimlane is one such concept that sets a simple and clear process of the work that you do.   The concept of swimlane can be related to the pool, where the swimmers gather in their respective lanes to start off. Similar to the pool, work items are grouped in different categories. Each category is referred as a lane and is displayed in horizontal format. Swimlanes are effective in categorizing the work items with respective to specific

Currently, this second email address does not log under the contact email history, nor is it available as a send address when using the Send Mail button within CRM. We recently migrated from GoldMine. I hate GoldMine, but there is one thing they did well: Email. I suggest copying them. Change the email field to an editable picklist,

We are back this week with an exciting post—Handling recurrence and participants in the Events module through API. First things first—What is the Events module? "Events" is a part of the Activities module in Zoho CRM.  An event is an activity that happens at a given place and time. You can find Events on the user's Zoho CRM's home page, Activities home page, Calendar, and in other related records. What are the types of Events? Events are of two types—Recurring and non-recurring events.
