Send Xero to Slack
Automate Xero charts to Slack. Pick the right chart type and schedule for accounting data.
Best for teams that want delivered updates instead of another dashboard tab.
Pre-built P&L, cash flow, and receivables charts from your Xero data. Discussion happens in the thread — no context switching needed
Why this path works
Primary intent
Help teams send Xero data into Slack on a useful reporting cadence without opening the source dashboard every time.
Replaces the manual workflow
The manual version is usually a dashboard screenshot, a copied table, and a message someone rewrites from scratch every reporting cycle.
Recommended chart types
Table
Best for displaying exact values and detailed breakdowns. Use this when your team needs a clear read on revenue and profit trends without opening Xero.
Line Chart
Best for tracking trends over time. Use this when your team needs a clear read on revenue and profit trends without opening Xero.
Bar Chart
Best for comparing categories side by side. Use this when your team needs a clear read on revenue and profit trends without opening Xero.
Recommended schedules
Weekly
Ideal for weekly team syncs and progress reviews. This is a better default than publishing every possible schedule as its own page.
First of Month
Ideal for monthly reporting, board updates, and MBRs. This is a better default than publishing every possible schedule as its own page.
Every Quarter
Built for quarterly business reviews and executive reporting cycles. This is a better default than publishing every possible schedule as its own page.
Example delivered pulse
Xero pulse in Slack
Your team gets the chart, the cadence, and a short explanation of what changed. Start with a narrow set of metrics and expand only after the delivered update is useful.
How to launch the first version
1
Connect Xero first and start with one metric set that already has clear ownership in the source.
2
Pick your Slack channel and configure who gets notified. Keep the first delivery narrow enough that the message reads like an update, not a dashboard dump.
3
Once the first pulse is useful, layer in one additional chart or a second stakeholder destination rather than broadening everything at once.
