Don't have an account?
Process Builder @InvocableMethod You have uncommitted work pending. Please commit or rollback before calling out
I have an Apex method which creates a new record in Xero (accounting software).
I am trying to make the Invokable so I can use process builder to create a new Xero record when an account is created in Salesforce.
I am getting the 'You have uncommitted work pending. Please commit or rollback before calling out'
I kind of understand the reason for the error, I can't have a callout after a DML operation, but I'm unsure how to resolve it. How can I get process builder to do the callout before the DML operation when thats the trigger for the Apex to run.

Thanks for that response, but not of them specifically relate to process builder.
I am not trying to create an account in Apex, the creation of the account is the trigger in Process Builder to run the invocable Apex (which pushes a new account to an external accounting package).
Thanks

Did you end up finding a solution?
I'm encountering the exact same issue. I have invocablemethod Apex code written to action a reverseGeocode and return the address.
Since adding to ProcessBuilder or Flow executing when record meets criteria I get the DML issue, despite my code not actually including any DML actions.
My working assumption is that despite it being a separate called method, it treats it as part of the triggering ProcessBuilder / Flow update/save event and actions AFTER any other actions or triggers which essentially makes it impossible to do from what I can see.
I've even tried putting it into a scheduled flow to avoid any existing updates etc being triggered and dropping straight into the Apex method but gave the same error.
