1.Catches closure event payload
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and automation mapping to route closure payload fields to an invoice reference key.
Create credit note when invoice marked closed lost
Automatically monitor invoice closure events across Webhooks by Zapier and Xero. Create and allocate credit notes when invoices go closed lost or match by invoice referenceβso you can authorize credits, update accounting, and notify billing without manual reconciliation.
How this automation authorizes credit notes faster
When invoice closure events hit but credits are handled manually, reconciliation breaks and billing staff lose time. This automation receives closure payloads, finds the invoice in Xero, creates and allocates the credit note, and notifies your teamβso your process stays accurate.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
