Turn invoices and expenses into Xero entries
Xero keeps your books in order. Parseur keeps them fed. Parseur reads the invoices, receipts, and expense emails that land in your inbox, extracts the supplier, dates, amounts, and line items with AI, and sends the data to Xero through Zapier as bills, credit notes, or contacts. The end-of-month pile of "admin purposes" work disappears.
-
Supplier invoices
Parseur pulls the supplier name, invoice number, due date, and amounts from invoice PDFs the moment they arrive by email, and Zapier creates the bill in Xero. No layout setup per supplier, the AI handles each format on its own.
-
Receipts and expenses
Parseur extracts merchant, date, and total from receipts and expense confirmation emails, so every purchase reaches Xero as an expense instead of sitting in an inbox until month end.
-
Recurring bills from vendors
Parseur processes the monthly emails from utilities, software subscriptions, and service providers automatically, keeping recurring costs recorded in Xero without anyone opening the email.
How the Xero integration works
-
1. Create your Parseur mailbox
- Sign up and get a dedicated email address where your documents land.
-
2. Forward your emails
- Send emails manually or set up auto forwarding so every new one arrives on its own.
-
3. AI extracts the data
- Parseur reads each email and pulls out the fields you need as structured data.
-
4. Data lands in Xero
- Zapier picks up the parsed data and sends it to Xero in real time.

Is your inbox filled with expenses at the end of the month?

Keep reading about how to automate this part of your life so that you can focus on other productive tasks.
We are going on a quest to create credit notes automatically in Xero, like Frodo on his quest with the Dark Lord Sauron's Ring.
The beginning of the quest with Parseur
Parseur is an invoice extractor used to capture invoice data automatically and accurately. The invoice processing tool is integrated with artificial intelligence and Optical character recognition (OCR) to ensure high accuracy.
- Parseur receives an invoice and extracts specific data from it using Zonal OCR and Dynamic OCR
- Parseur exports the invoice data to Zapier.
- Zapier creates a credit note in Xero instantly.
To use this integration, you will need:
- A Parseur account
- A Zapier account
- A Xero account
Step 1: Create an expense mailbox in Parseur
Parseur is free to start with all the features available on the plan. Once you've created your expense mailbox, upload or drag and drop one of the invoices into it.
If you already have an invoice mailbox, you can use the same one.
Step 2: The magic of automation with Parseur
Parseur is AI-based and it processes documents instantly depending on the use cases.
You can also create a custom OCR template if you don't like what Parseur extracted.
Verify the invoice data before you move on to the next step.
Zapier: Our trusty steed
Parseur has a native integration with Zapier that connects it with thousands of applications.
Step 3: Connect Parseur with Zapier
Head over to "export", click on "Zapier" and search for "Xero" and, it will open the Zapier dashboard.
Parseur is the trigger for "new document processed". Choose the correct mailbox so that Zapier can retrieve the invoice data.
Arrival at the kingdom of Xero
Data from the invoice is now sent to Zapier.
Step 4: Connect Xero with Zapier
The next step is to give Zapier access to your Xero account.
From there, you can tell Zapier which data to use to create a bill in Xero. If it doesn't find the customer in Xero, Zapier will create a new contact in Xero as well.
Step 5: Send a Zapier trigger to Xero
Send a Zapier test to verify whether the credit note has been created successfully in Xero.
Quest complete: Victory for your business
Like a hero returning triumphant from a quest, your business comes back victorious with more time and resources to invest in conquering new frontiers.
Start your own epic journey with Parseur, Zapier, and Xero, and let us know how it goes! This workflow is created only once and it will run smoothly once you turn the Zap on.
