We want to help users streamline their bookkeeping as much as possible, and Auto Posting is one of the features that enables us to do that.
Managing bulk settlements efficiently not only reduces manual workload but also ensures swift and accurate processing of financial data.
The auto post feature is a setting turned on via the Settlement Settings page and it allows you to automate sending your settlements to Xero.
To enable autopost, follow these steps:
Navigate to Settings > Settlement Settings > Automation.
Turn on the autopost functionality.
Specify a start date if you want to begin posting after a certain time.
Leave the start date blank to post all settlements automatically.
You can also set an optional start and end date.
This allows for flexibility in processing settlements, as users can define specific periods for autoposting or leave the dates blank for continuous posting.
Once turned on any new settlements that land in Link My Books would be automatically sent to Xero or QuickBooks (from the date at which you turn on the feature).
Auto posting of settlements is managed by a clever algorithm which staggers sending settlements to Xero to ensure we don't hit their throttling limits when sending multiple settlements.
Settlements are sent in batches of 5-10 per 10 minutes.
If autopost fails due to connection errors or other issues, resolving these promptly is essential. Once fixed, the autopost functionality usually resumes automatically, processing ready to send settlements. For persistent issues, check settlement status in Link My Books or manually send settlements if necessary.
