Xero says it needs reconnecting

  • Admin
Updated 13 October 2026

Short answer

Xero has stopped accepting Roux Roster's connection to your Xero organisation. An Admin clicks Allow in Settings › Integrations and approves access in Xero. Your matches and mappings are kept. Don't click Disconnect.

Open in Roux Roster

What you see

  • In Settings › Integrations, the Xero card shows Needs reconnecting, and the Xero file shows Xero needs you to Allow again. Leave and new staff stop updating until you do.
  • Admins see the same line on the Dashboard, with Open Integrations.
  • Active Admins get one email: Xero needs you to Allow Roux again.
  • A push to Xero says Xero connection needs reconnecting. Reconnect from Settings.

Why it happens

Xero has stopped accepting Roux Roster's access to that Xero organisation. Until you reconnect, leave balances and new staff stop updating from Xero, and you can't push to that file. Nothing in Roux Roster is deleted.

Reconnect Xero

  1. In the Dashboard, go to Settings › Integrations. From the Dashboard message, click Open Integrations.
  2. Click Allow next to the Xero file.
  3. Sign in to Xero and approve access for the same organisation.
  4. Back in Roux Roster, you see Xero reconnected.

Reconnecting this way keeps your staff matches, earnings rate mappings and leave balances.

Don't disconnect to fix it

Disconnect is for when you stop using a Xero file. It removes the staff matches, earnings rate mappings and leave balances for that file, and you would need to set them up again. Use Allow instead.

After you reconnect
