Choose a trigger

A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Client" from FreshBooks.

Add your action

An action happens after the trigger—such as "Add Items to Existing Sales Invoice" in Xero.

You’re connected!

Zapier seamlessly connects FreshBooks and Xero, automating your workflow.

Supported triggers and actions

Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.
