Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• A Client ID: Generated when you create a new app for a custom connection.
• A Client Secret: Generated when you create a new app for a custom connection.

To generate your Client ID and Client Secret, create an OAuth2 custom connection app (opens in a new tab) in your Xero developer portal My Apps (opens in a new tab).

Use these settings for your app:

• Select Web app as the Integration Type.
• For the Company or Application URL, enter the URL of your n8n server or reverse proxy address. For cloud users, for example, this is: https://your-username.app.n8n.cloud/.
• Copy the OAuth Redirect URL from n8n and add it as an OAuth 2.0 redirect URI in your app.
• Select appropriate scopes for your app. Refer to OAuth2 Scopes (opens in a new tab) for more information.
  • To use all functionality in the Xero node, add the accounting.contacts and accounting.transactions scopes.

Refer to Xero's OAuth Custom Connections (opens in a new tab) documentation for more information.
