Connect Gmail to Xero
Automate Gmail and Xero with AI
Finance teams forward bills to Gmail that should become Xero transactions without someone retyping every line. Operator.io points OpenClaw at Gmail and Xero so messages tagged for accounting create draft bills or bank reconciliation notes, and paid invoices in Xero can trigger a Gmail confirmation to the sender. Hand it a supplier name and it merges recent Gmail threads with matching Xero records.
It reaches both apps directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh, so there is no Zap to build and no API keys to paste.

How it works
Tell the agent what you want to happen between Gmail and Xero, for example to watch one and act in the other, or to keep the two in step. It reads what it needs from Gmail, works out what to do, and runs the matching action in Xero without you mapping a single field.
You can have it run once, on a schedule, or whenever something changes. Ask it for a status any time and it reads the latest from both apps back to you in the same chat.
Common questions about Gmail and Xero
- How do I connect Gmail and Xero to Operator?
- You authorize Gmail and Xero once each from your Operator dashboard. Operator holds both connections and refreshes the access tokens for you, so your agent keeps working across them without you signing in again.
- What can my agent do across Gmail and Xero?
- You describe the outcome in plain language and your agent works between the two, reading from one and acting in the other. It picks the right Gmail and Xero actions on its own, so you do not map fields or pick triggers.
- Can my agent keep Gmail and Xero in sync?
- Yes. It can watch Gmail and act in Xero, or keep both in step, reading from one and running the matching update in the other. This runs on demand when you ask or on a schedule you set.
- Do I need to build a workflow or write code?
- No. There is no workflow to build, no fields to map, and no API keys to paste. Operator manages both connections, and you give the agent instructions in plain language.
