Xero and Chaser users, you can now launch Chaser directly from your Xero account!

With the new Xero App Launcher, you can launch Chaser or any other app connected to your Xero organization directly from your Xero account.

Open Chaser whilst using Xero without interrupting your workflow, without needing to search for Chaser in another tab, or rely on your browser bookmarks. What’s more, you’ll also be logged into Chaser automatically, so you can skip the sign-in page.

What is the Xero App Launcher

The App Launcher is a new feature in Xero that allows businesses to launch apps directly from their Xero accounting software. This means businesses can launch Chaser directly from their Xero account, without having to log in to Chaser separately.

How the Xero App Launcher works

To launch Chaser from your Xero account, simply click on the App Launcher icon in the top right-hand corner of your screen when using Xero. This will bring up a list of all apps connected to your Xero organization that you can launch. Click on the Chaser icon to launch the app.
