New Bank Transactions in Xero trigger -> Not working

Hi and welcome to the Community, @Katn! 🎉 

There’s an existing bug where new bank transactions aren’t triggering Xero Zaps as expected. I’ve gone ahead and added you to the list of folks being impacted by this. While I can’t give any sort of estimate as to when it might be fixed adding you does help to increase it’s priority. And will ensure you get an email notification as soon as it’s been fixed. 

In the meantime, perhaps you could use Webhooks to subscribe to new bank transaction webhook events from Xero? I had a quick look and found that Xero has a guide on how to set up webhook notifications here: Xero - Creating a webhook. If there’s no option available for subscribing to new bank transactions though, perhaps you could set up a polling webhooks trigger that uses their GET BankTransactions endpoint instead? 

You can find out more about how to set up a Webhooks trigger in a Zap to receive those webhooks from Xero: 

• Trigger Zaps from webhooks 
• Trigger Zaps from polling webhooks

Please note that Webhooks only supports basic authentication methods. So if Xero’s API requires more advanced authentication like Oauth then you’d need to build a private integration with Xero on our Developer Platform which is a bit more advanced. We do have certified Zapier Experts that could help build it for you though.

Alternatively, if you’re able to get an email notification sent to you whenever a new bank transaction takes place that contains the necessary details perhaps you could forward those emails to Email Parser by Zapier and use them to trigger the Zap instead? See Trigger Zaps from new parsed emails for details. 

Hope that helps in the meantime. Please do keep us updated on how you get on with this, keen to ensure you’re all set! 🙂
