Email notifications: Expenses - Awaiting approval and Approved claims
Ability to trigger notification when expense claims are awaiting approval and approved status.
Purpose: So the approver can review the expenses faster and the one who’s asking for an approval don’t need to wait longer for approval.

Cannot believe this doesn't already exist! Why does this only work in the app and not on your desktop?!?!?!

I've posted several times on this topic. I agree that it is ludicrous that so simple a feature does not exist. Sadly, as far as I can tell, Xero have not even bothered to engage or explain their thinking and planning. Eventually will be a showstopper for using this service, as it's extremely inconvenient (especially for such an easy feature to implement!)

There is nothing worse than having to ask your boss to log in and approve what they had already asked you to submit. Why does it not send them a notice that a claim was lodged seeking there approval! It is ridiculous that there is no alerts.

The approval feature does us no good unless there is a method for notifying the user, and for limiting users ability to see bills based on an account or tracking category.

This really should be fundamental functionality! Do you have a timescale for its implementation! This would save so much time so as I wouldn’t have to interrogate the Expenses module as often!

I think is crazy that this functionality isn't in place, particularly when you consider how long these comments have been running. Will likely go with another provider if this is not added soon.

Without this option we will probably end up using another provider for expenses.

Seems like an obvious requirement for people approving expense claims, and based off my research people have been waiting for years now, please add this!

I'm very surprised this function doesn't exist, I consider it critical regarding workflow

Worrying that this isn't available. Is Xero deliberately keeping to small business solutions as any business with say 50 people in will naturally have a hierarchy and therefore approval workflow requirement. Testing the excellent Xero Me App there is nothing telling me when an expense gets declined apart from going in to check myself. It means I have more processes to write to ensure we communicate/check on a regular basis.

Critical and surprising it doesn't exist. My team members need their expenses paid immediately.

This would be the best feature. We often miss expenses as we dont go in there every day. and if an expense is rejected we need to be able to let the submitter know so it can be rectified in a time manner.

Debbie Fitz commented
there have been many votes for this, but no word of this being updated?
more important for email notifications is if a request has been rejected... submitter needs notification to go in and rectify whatever mistake they had made -

This happens in my role all the time, our team submit expenses infrequently and often forget they need to let me know directly. I work part time and if I miss the fact that there is an expense waiting to be put through people are kept waiting unnecessarily. An email notifciation to let me know that I have expenses to process would be really helpful.

Totally need this feature; finding I'm not reimbursing in a timely fashion due to not remembering to check for any claims submitted.
