1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating the creation of Xero contacts from Zoho CRM leads, first, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the official Pabbly website and navigate to the Pabbly Connect section. Here, you can sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the workflow page. This is where you can create a new automation workflow that connects Zoho CRM and Xero through Pabbly Connect. Ensure your Zoho CRM and Xero accounts are ready for integration.


2. Creating Leads in Zoho CRM

Next, you will create a new lead in your Zoho CRM account. This step is crucial because it triggers the automation in Pabbly Connect. Fill in the lead details, including the first name, last name, company name, email address, and mobile number.

  • Enter the first name of the lead.
  • Add the last name of the lead.
  • Include the company name.
  • Provide the email address and mobile number.

After entering the details, click on the save button. This action will create the lead and initiate the polling process in Pabbly Connect, which checks for new leads at regular intervals.


3. Setting Up the Pabbly Connect Workflow

Now that you have created the lead, it’s time to set up the workflow in Pabbly Connect. Start by selecting Zoho CRM as your trigger application. Choose the event “New Module Entry” to initiate the workflow when a new lead is created.

Connect your Zoho CRM account by entering the required domain. For instance, if your domain is “zoho.in”, input that in the connection settings. Once connected, select the module as “Leads” and click on the save and send test request button to fetch the lead details.

  • Choose the “New Module Entry” event.
  • Input your Zoho CRM domain.
  • Select the “Leads” module.

This step ensures that Pabbly Connect retrieves the lead information successfully, allowing you to proceed with the integration to Xero.


4. Integrating Xero Contacts with Pabbly Connect

After fetching the lead details, the next step is to integrate Xero as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Search for Xero and select the action event “Create a Contact”. This setup will automatically create a contact in Xero whenever a new lead is added in Zoho CRM.

Connect your Xero account by allowing access. Once connected, you will need to fill in the required fields for creating a contact. Use the mapping feature to dynamically insert lead details from the previous step, ensuring that each new lead is accurately reflected in Xero.

  • Select “Create a Contact” as the action event.
  • Map the lead details such as full name, email, and phone number.
  • Click on “Save and Send Test Request” to finalize the integration.

Once you receive a positive response, your integration is complete. This means that every new lead in Zoho CRM will automatically create a contact in Xero, streamlining your processes.
