# Fishbowl: "Error connecting to Xero"

> Your Fishbowl-to-Xero integration has disconnected and needs to be reconnected.

## What it means

Fishbowl can't reach your Xero account at this moment. The integration connection is broken, which usually happens when the credentials expired, your Xero permissions were changed, or access was revoked. Sometimes a temporary network issue or Xero service interruption can cause this too.

## What to check

- Verify your Xero account is still active and you can log in directly
- Confirm whether your Xero login credentials or security settings have changed
- Check whether Fishbowl still has permission to access and sync with Xero
- Verify your internet connection and that Xero's service is accessible
