Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the LearnDash and Xero integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between LearnDash and Xero (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
