Since 2015 when the earliest post requesting emergency contact details to be updatable via the API was asked for on the original Xero forum, the following has happened in the world:

* SpaceX Starship (Started 2019, First Orbital Flight 2023) - A fully reusable spacecraft designed for missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond)

* Europa Clipper (Started 2017, Launch 2024) - A NASA mission to explore Jupiter’s moon Europa, with the spacecraft completed and launched by 2025.

* Sydney Metro City & Southwest (Started 2017) - An expansion of Sydney’s metro network, adding new stations and extending the line into the city center.

Governments have changed, presidents come and gone. We experienced a pandemic, were locked down, freed again. Children have grown from babies to almost starting highschool and yet Xero has not added the ability to set emergency contact details via the API.

Yes - particularly emergency contact details. We are using an API for onboarding and we need to do this part manually for each new employee. The fields should be available for API transfer

This is very frustrating for us, having to manually update quite menial data with lots of back and forth with client and their employees. Would save many hours per month

Yes Please! Without this feature we need to request employees to login to Xero to update this manually (or have the business owner do it).

API would be a much cleaner way to enable better HR & Payroll integrations.

Thanks you

Please add ability to update Emergency Contacts via the API.

Request Emergency Contact details to be added to the XERO API

If it provided as soon as possible, the data population would be completely fine

Please provide this option,It will help us more.

This would really save some time. Please consider providing this feature in the API.

Please enable the emergency contact elements in Xero API.

Please add this, it will save a lot of manual copying that we have to do otherwise

Fourth this. Why is this so difficult?

I third this request that should be idiotically easy and yet remains ignored.

Any update on this one ?
We have a number of customers asking us for this .
