How do I list Xero contacts?

Short answer: You can list contacts in Xero by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Xero List Contacts action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
