Xero transaction - “JSON for post data was invalid, Error converting value” error

I’m trying to set up a zap between Excel and Xero to make it easier to enter them on a monthly basis.  The Excel side works, and finding/creating a contact in Xero works, but when I try test the creation of the bank transaction I get an error saying that the JSON for post data was invalid, Error converting value (Contact value) to type ‘System.Guild”.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi @mmitchell 

Try mapping the Contact ID from the previous step instead of the Contact name.

 

Thanks @Troy Tessalone 

I’ve just tried that and if I use the contact First Name & Last Name it tells me the contact ID is missing.  If I use the Company it gives me the same error.

Please post screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured.

NOTE: The expected Contact ID is likely a number.
