A good alternative to zapier, make and IFTT. I like the prices they are really cheap compared to the other companies. The support team and the documentation is on point. The UI and the automations possible are what I love most about Albato.

Albato makes it incredibly simple to integrate Harvest with Xero, transforming the way you manage time tracking and financials. Albato is a powerful platform designed to simplify integration and automation across a variety of applications. With its no-code automation builder, Albato allows users to connect apps and set up workflows quickly, without the need for technical know-how. In Albato, workflows are driven by triggers (events that initiate an automation) and actions (tasks performed in response to a trigger). This framework enables the automation of processes across different platforms, saving time and increasing efficiency. For example, an integration between Harvest and Xero through Albato could be set up so that a "New invoice" trigger in Harvest (trigger) automatically leads to "Create Invoice" in Xero (action). This seamless connection ensures that every time you generate an invoice in Harvest for billing hours worked on a project, a corresponding invoice is automatically created in Xero, keeping financial records in sync and reducing administrative overhead.

Albato is the best alternative to Zapier because it’s about 30% cheaper, making it perfect for small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs who want to save money on automation tools. Unlike other automation platforms, Albato has preserved its original no-code approach, so you don’t need any technical skills to set up automations between Harvest and Xero. It’s super easy to use, and you can create powerful workflows without the hassle.

What really sets Albato apart is its excellent customer support — you get real people helping you, no matter which plan you’re on. So if you're looking for a more affordable, user-friendly solution for integrating Harvest and Xero, Albato is the way to go!

Does Harvest integrate with Xero on the free plan?

Yes, you can integrate Harvest with Xero using Albato's free plan. Upon registration, you receive a 7-day trial with full access to all features, allowing you to set up and test your Xero and Harvest integration without limitations. After the trial, the free plan provides 100 transactions and up to 5 active automations, enabling you to maintain your Harvest Xero integration at no cost.

How to connect Xero to Harvest for scheduled syncs?

To sync Xero with Harvest on a scheduled basis, Albato offers flexible scheduling options for your integrations. Whether you need data synchronization or workflow triggers at specific times, days of the week, or custom intervals, you can achieve this easily using API triggers. Simply configure the “Set Schedule” option to define the desired frequency—hourly, on specific weekdays, on selected days of the month, or through a fully customized schedule. Additionally, Albato provides the Scheduled Trigger, which allows you to activate your scenario according to your personalized timetable. This makes Harvest integration with Xero seamless and tailored to your specific needs.

Does Harvest integrate with Xero in real time?

Yes, Harvest integrates with Xero in real time using Albato's flexible trigger system. This system supports two types of triggers: Webhook Triggers and API Triggers.
Webhook Triggers: These triggers activate your Harvest integration with Xero instantly when a specified event occurs in the source application. They enable immediate data transfer and real-time synchronization between your applications.
API Triggers: These triggers poll your system for new events at regular intervals—every 15 minutes, 10 minutes, or as frequently as every minute, depending on your subscription plan. While not instantaneous, they provide near real-time Harvest and Xero integration.
You can identify the type of trigger by specific icons during the automation setup process in Albato. This allows you to choose the most suitable method for your Xero integration with Harvest, ensuring your workflows operate according to your requirements.

How to connect Harvest to Xero?

Setting up an integration between Harvest and Xero on Albato is simple and requires no technical skills. Just follow these steps:

Log in to your Albato account. If you don’t have one yet, sign up — it's quick and easy.
Go to the Integrations section and select Harvest and Xero from the list of available apps.
Choose triggers and actions. You’ll need to define an event in Harvest (the trigger) that will cause an action in Xero, such as sending data or creating an entry.
Map the fields. Use Albato’s data mapping tool to match specific fields between Harvest and Xero, ensuring accurate data transfer.

Once the integration is live, data will flow seamlessly between Harvest and Xero, automating your workflows and saving you time.

How to connect Harvest to Xero to sync historical data?

To sync Harvest with Xero and transfer historical data, Albato provides a dedicated Migration Mode. This feature allows you to retrieve and send data from past periods, unlike real-time synchronization, which triggers automation only for new events occurring after setup.
With Migration Mode, you can configure the transfer of data from any desired timeframe—whether for all historical records or through periodic migrations. To check if Migration Mode is available for your Xero integration with Harvest, log in to your Albato account, select the trigger event for your app, and look for the Migration Mode icon. If it's not visible or you need further clarification, feel free to contact our customer support team for assistance.

How to connect Xero to Harvest for two-way synchronization?

To integrate Xero with Harvest for two-way synchronization, Albato uses a system of triggers and actions. You can link Harvest to Xero by setting up two separate automations. The first automation sent data from Harvest to Xero. For instance, when a record is created or updated in Harvest, the automation ensures the changes are reflected in Xero. The second automation works in reverse, updating Harvest when changes occur in Xero.
To avoid infinite loops or duplicate updates, apply filters—such as updating only when specific data changes—and use unique record identifiers. This approach ensures seamless Xero Harvest integration and keeps your data consistent across both platforms.
