FAQ

Questions about List Contacts.

What does the List Contacts action do in Xero?

Lists contacts in Xero (customers, suppliers, employees) with their addresses, balances, and tax numbers. Used for CRM sync or AR/AP reports.

What inputs does List Contacts require?

List Contacts has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Xero returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does List Contacts support batch operations?

Yes. Run List Contacts inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Xero's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
