2. Getting Started

To get started you just need to go to the  plugin settings: Forms > Settings > Xero Practice Manager Connector and click the connect with Xero button. Then save the settings and the connection has now been made! To confirm this we list your categories, staff and templates below in a table format which can be used for future reference.

Now in the form settings for any particular form you can map out the standard Xero Practice Manager fields with your Gravity Forms fields. This is broken up into 3 sections, clients, contacts and jobs. Above this you can choose whether you want to add all upload files to Xero Practice Manager as documents, and you can also add a CSV file of the all the submitted forms as a document to Xero Practice Manager as well!

You can also set an opt-in condition so form submissions are only sent toXero Practice Manager if an and/or criteria is met or not met.

If you need additional functionality, please don’t hesitate to   contact us   we and we can provide a quote for   custom development work .
