Integration of Monday.com with Xero using Make.com (Integromat)

About The Company:

Our client was a finance company based in the UK. They are expanding at a rapid speed, serving clientele across the globe.

Project Overview:

The project involves automating the creation of invoices in Xero whenever there is a status change in Monday.com, specifically for a particular customer. The integration utilizes Make.com (Integromat) to facilitate communication and data flow between Monday.com and Xero. The goal is to streamline the invoicing process by automatically generating invoices, including line items (subitems from Monday.com), and attaching related documents from Monday.com to the invoices in Xero.

Client Requirement:

The client was expecting the following results once the status of a customer changes.

  • An invoice must be created in Xero.
  • The line items and corresponding sub items should be in the invoice on monday.com.
  • Any relevant document attached to the Monday.com task should be attached to the created invoice in Xero.

Tools Used:

  • Monday.com: This serves as the project management platform where tasks and statuses are managed.
  • Xero: an accounting software that works as cloud-based and is used for generating and managing invoices and financial transactions.
  • Make.com (Integromat): Integration platform that connects different apps and services (Monday.com and Xero, in this case) to automate workflows and data exchange.

Workflow Description:

Trigger: When a status change occurs on monday.com for a specific customer, it triggers the automation process.

Data Retrieval: Integromat uses modules to retrieve necessary data:

  • It searches for the customer/contact details in Xero to determine if they already exist.
  • If the customer/contact exists, it proceeds to invoice creation directly.

Invoice Creation:

  • Using Make.com modules, the integration creates an invoice in Xero.
  • The invoice includes line items derived from the subitems of the monday.com task.
  • These line items store the task or project details affected by the status change.

Document Attachment:

If there are any documents attached to the task on monday.com, Integromat ensures these documents are linked or attached to the corresponding invoice in Xero.

This feature enhances documentation and transparency in billing by associating relevant files directly with financial records.

 Results:

  • Automation: Reduces manual effort in invoice creation and attachment handling, improving efficiency and reducing errors.
  • Accuracy: Ensures that invoices accurately reflect the latest task details and associated documents.
  • Integration: Seamlessly integrates project management (Monday.com) with accounting (Xero), providing a cohesive workflow from task completion to billing.
  • Transparency: Documents attached from Monday.com provide additional context and transparency in billing for both the client and the service provider.

Conclusion:

By leveraging Make.com (Integromat) to bridge Monday.com and Xero, CloudCache Consulting was able to meet the client's requirements for automated invoicing successfully. This integration streamlines processes and enhances data integrity and operational efficiency, ultimately delivering value through automation and improved financial management capabilities.
