Integration of Xero and Slack
The integration of Slack and Xero allows the users to improve their efficiency in accounting. With this integration, users will be able to send invoices to the clients directly from Slack. This is a great feature for freelancers as they do not have to go through a lengthy process of sending invoices to clients and waiting for payments. They can just initiate the invoice directly from Slack and after that, they can jump back to their work. With this feature, payments are made more quickly because the invoice and its corresponding payment has been initiated via Slack. Also, it also reduces the risk of losing important documents or receipts as there is now a centralised location for them. For example, if you forgot a receipt for your clients at your home, you can just search for it on your Slack app instead of looking for it in your house. This saves time and effort of the users (Struzzi & Guiliana, 2018.
