Automate Bookkeeping with Trello, OpenRouter & Xero Integration

Automate Your Bookkeeping with Seamless Trello, OpenRouter & Xero Integration

Streamline your bookkeeping process with our powerful n8n workflow that bridges Trello, OpenRouter, and Xero. This integration automatically drafts bookkeeping entries by capturing transaction data from Trello card activities and cross-referencing it with live Xero data, making your financial management more accurate and efficient.

What this workflow does

• Triggers when a Trello card is moved to the "Ready" list or marked with the "Retry AI" label.
• Fetches live Xero chart of accounts, tax rates, and bank accounts to ensure up-to-date reference data.
• Analyzes Trello card details, including comments and attachments, and pauses if the data is insufficient for processing.
• Sends card content to OpenRouter to extract a structured bookkeeping draft, normalizing essential fields such as dates and payment references.
• Uses Xero's contact and invoice data to discern between vendor types and correctly categorize transactions.
• Validates and matches suggested account codes with Xero's chart of accounts, integrating necessary configurations for later posting.
• Deletes outdated AI-generated drafts on retries and provides a review-ready summary in Trello, either confirming success with a "For Review" label or indicating errors for further action.
