you will then be redirected back to the Workever integration page where you will now have the option of going to "settings" and you should also have a tick and "active" above to confirm everything is connected

Questions, Limitations and things to think about
Sync time: Data will automatically sync to Xero every 60 - 90 minutes.
How do I know if an invoice has synced? You will be able to see the invoice in Xero but you should also see a blue "View in Xero" button within the invoice page in Workever which will confirm its been synced over
What if I cant see something synced? This generally means there is an error on the item and you should look in the sync error tab. If you still cannot fix the issue after looking at this, then reach out to support who will help you.
Contacts: Contacts sync bi directionally between Xero and Workever. Wherever you make a change, it will be reflected in both places.
Stock (tracked inventory) does not sync between Workforce and Xero.
Invoices: Invoices created in Xero will not be synced over to Workever. All invoices created in Workever (both ad hoc created in the invoice section, and invoices created within a job will both sync over to Xero)
