API Overview
ClockOn requires a connection link between the organisations to link to and share data with. This process requires the user to log in via the Xero website and then Xero and ClockOn will share a token that will then be used to authenticate for future communications.
Once completed the user can then run the Integration Wizard to export their time sheets to Xero. The user can map their ClockOn employee time sheet data with Xero and then submit it in a secure and fast manner.
