# Xero
> The Xero integration allows you to automatically sync your financial data with Runway, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring your actuals stay up to date. With this connection, your financial models will always reflect the latest numbers from Xero.
Runway offers two ways to integrate with **Xero**:
* **Quick-Start connection** – A fast and simple setup.
* **SQL-powered integration via Fivetran (Recommended)** – For advanced data customization.
## Setting up Xero via Fivetran
### Connecting the Integration
1. Open your [Runway instance](https://app.runway.com/).
2. In the left sidebar, hover over **Integrations** and click the **+** button to open the **Integrations Directory**.
3. Search for **Xero** and click **+ Set up** under the **Fivetran** option.
4. For the **Schema Name**:
* If connecting **a single Xero instance**, leave it as `Xero`.
* If connecting **multiple Xero instances**, update the **Schema Name** with a unique identifier (e.g., `Xero_us`, `Xero_ltd`).
5. Click **Authorize** to be redirected to **Fivetran** to complete the connection.
6. Follow Fivetran’s **setup guide** to finish configuring the integration.
7. Click **Save & Test** to **begin syncing your data**. You’ll be redirected back to Runway.
