Bubble Xero integration

Built a business app on Bubble and need to send invoices or accounting data to Xero? Ping Ledger is an integration bridge that handles the Xero side for you — no need to build or maintain a complex Xero API integration in your Bubble app.

The no-code integration challenge

Bubble lets you build powerful web applications without writing code. But connecting a Bubble app to Xero’s API is a technical challenge: Xero requires OAuth 2.0 authentication, structured API calls, contact resolution, tax type mapping, and rate-limit handling. Building and maintaining that inside a Bubble app means dealing with API connectors, authentication flows, and error handling that are far from the no-code experience Bubble is designed for.

Ping Ledger takes that complexity out of your Bubble app. You send the invoice data; Ping Ledger creates the Xero records.

Two ways to connect

Email-based ingestion (simplest)

Your Bubble workflow generates a CSV of invoice data and emails it to your Ping Ledger address. Ping Ledger parses the CSV, maps the data, and creates draft invoices in Xero automatically. No API configuration needed.

API connector (direct)

Use Bubble’s API Connector plugin to send invoice data to the Ping Ledger bridge endpoint. Ping Ledger handles Xero OAuth, contact resolution, tax mapping, and draft creation, then returns the created Xero record ID.

What happens on the Xero side

  1. 1Ping Ledger authenticates with Xero using per-client OAuth credentials.
  2. 2Contacts are matched by name or created automatically.
  3. 3VAT labels and rates are mapped to valid Xero tax types.
  4. 4A draft invoice or quote is posted to Xero, with PDF attachments if provided.
  5. 5If anything fails, Ping Ledger logs the error and sends an email alert.

Why use an integration bridge?

No need to implement Xero OAuth or handle tokens in your Bubble app.
No Xero API rate-limit handling or retry logic to build.
Ping Ledger resolves contacts and maps tax types automatically.
Your Bubble app stays focused on your business logic, not accounting integration.
You get a full audit trail of every record sent to Xero.

Frequently asked questions

Can Bubble integrate with Xero?
Yes. A Bubble application can send invoice and quote data to Xero through Ping Ledger’s bridge. You can connect using Bubble’s API Connector to call the Ping Ledger endpoint, or use the email-based ingestion path where your Bubble workflow emails invoice data to a Ping Ledger address.
How do I connect Bubble to Xero?
There are two paths. The simplest is email-based: set up a workflow in Bubble that emails invoice data as a CSV attachment to your Ping Ledger address. Alternatively, use Bubble’s API Connector plugin to send invoice data to the Ping Ledger bridge endpoint directly.
Do I need to code a Xero API integration in Bubble?
No. Ping Ledger handles the Xero API, OAuth, contact resolution, and tax mapping on its side. Your Bubble app only needs to send the invoice data — via email or API call — and Ping Ledger creates draft records in Xero.
Can I send invoices from a Bubble app to Xero?
Yes. Ping Ledger currently supports invoices and quotes. Each can include line items, contact details, account codes, tax types, and PDF attachments. Records are created as drafts in Xero for review before approval.
What is the simplest way to connect Bubble to Xero?
Email-based ingestion is the simplest path — no API configuration required. Your Bubble workflow generates a CSV of invoice data and emails it to your Ping Ledger address. Ping Ledger parses it, maps the data, and creates draft invoices in Xero automatically.
Is Ping Ledger affiliated with Bubble or Xero?
No. Ping Ledger is an independent integration tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially partnered with Bubble or Xero. It uses Xero’s public API to create records on behalf of your organisation.
