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.

FAQ

Questions about List Contacts.

What does the List Contacts action do in Xero?

Lists contacts in Xero (customers, suppliers, employees) with their addresses, balances, and tax numbers. Used for CRM sync or AR/AP reports.

What inputs does List Contacts require?

List Contacts has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Xero returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Xero returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does List Contacts support batch operations?

Run List Contacts inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Xero's rate limits.
