Xero Lookup
Overview
Xero Lookup is a data action within the Nanonets model workflow, designed to enhance data processing by retrieving and referencing information directly from your Xero database. This feature allows you to automate data standardization by matching and fetching relevant details from Xero, ensuring consistent data handling in your workflows.
