Tempo Timesheets and Xero integration: how to get hours into an invoice

We found no native Xero invoice export inside Tempo Timesheets (checked 8 November 2026). You can bill from Tempo hours with a Marketplace app that creates Xero invoices, an automation connector, or by exporting Tempo raw data as CSV and importing an invoice CSV into Xero.

Steps

Export the Tempo raw worklog data for the billing period as CSV.
Set the hourly rate per person and the date each rate starts.
Group the hours by customer and write an invoice CSV in the layout Xero imports.
In Xero open Sales, Invoices, Import and upload the file.
Review the draft invoices in Xero before you approve them.

Limits

A CSV import is manual and one-way: nothing syncs between Tempo and Xero. Xero opens imported invoices as drafts, wants one invoice number per invoice, and recommends at most 500 lines per file. If you want invoices created in Xero automatically, an app such as Clerk Invoices does that; Hourbill does not.

The tool

Hourbill reads that file in your browser, applies hourly rates you set and writes the invoice CSV for Xero or QuickBooks Online. Free for your first 10 rows, then $29 a month. Try Hourbill

Questions people ask

Does Tempo Timesheets have a Xero integration?

We found no native Tempo Timesheets feature that creates Xero invoices (checked 8 November 2026). Third-party apps and connectors exist; check Tempo documentation for the current state.

Is there an app that creates Xero invoices from Tempo worklogs?

Yes. Clerk Invoices on the Atlassian Marketplace says it creates Xero invoices from Jira or Tempo worklogs. Workato and Patchworks list Tempo and Xero connectors for building your own flow.

Does Hourbill sync with Xero?

No. Hourbill writes a CSV file that you import into Xero yourself. It does not connect to Xero or to Jira.
