@ Hannah G, don’t you think it’s time Xero actually started listening to its users?

Instead of rolling out features no one asked for or continuing with the tired “Building on Beautiful” slogan, how about focusing on what really matters — BUILDING ON FUNCTIONALITY?

Do you even read these threads? Just scroll through the community suggestions — most of them are 5 to 10 years old, with hundreds (if not thousands) of upvotes and absolutely no action. It’s beyond frustrating.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that Xero doesn’t care about its user base or making meaningful improvements that would genuinely help us run our businesses. Instead, you keep pushing out updates like “New Invoicing”, which almost everyone hates, or now this utterly useless JAX — yet again, something no one asked for.

Enough is enough. Start prioritising the feedback from the people who actually use your product every single day.

I agree with Victoria. I do payroll for many businesses and having to log in days after processing the payroll just to send payslips within one day of the payment as per legal requirements is very frustrating.

I have prepped payroll, which is necessary achieve the figures to input into the bank for payment but I then need to return to Xero to send payslips on payday. How frustrating is that lack of efficiency? Currently, every month I apologise to my team to advise them that they are not getting their payslips on the same day as being paid. Embarrassing.

Xero, you say "Rest assured that our eyes are on the ground monitoring your feedback and votes here, so please keep adding them in this thread".

This was raised in 2015, it's 2025. It's a BASIC FUNCTION.

Are you there, and do you care?

Please Please Xero this is a much needed function as a mum of 3 trying to fit everything in and invoicing in the evenings makes our buisness feel rude and unprofessional some of us don't have time or cant during normal buisness hours..... Surely this feature is not a big ask!

@Youssef Abouelnasr, no! First raised in 2012!!!! :O

I'll gladly trade the new AI thingy (JAX?) any day for scheduled email functionality. (BTW I tried to get JAX to schedule an invoice. Sadly it wasn't able to)

In addition to below's post about pointless additions, let's not forget the removal of the ability to drag docs into a bill/invoice and then the reinstatement and the useless quick option to add a new contact when drafting an invoice but not being able to add contact names AND business names meaning you have to jump into contacts to create anyway rending that function useless. Seriously - why cant you sort the scheduling of emails and invoices - rudimentary

@Youssef Abouelnasr - just take a look at any of the community suggestions they are all 5-10 years old and no action from Xero.
Xero does not give a **** about it's users or implementing changes that would actually benefit us , rather they spend time and money on implementing things like the "New Invoicing' that no one asked for and is hated by majority of users.

Is Xero even working on bringing this feature to life anytime soon?

Surprised this has not been implemented yet - am I reading correctly that this was raised in 2015?

+ Bumping so that this is a feature that is prioritized. This is a critical feature for my team and I keep checking to see if it has been added.

This idea was originally raised in 2012! its been 13 years!!! How does something so simple take so long? Please Xero team, I think its about time you looked into this.

My first time using Xero and this was the first thing I looked for! I want to schedule my invoices, then have the system remind me they are good to go (make any last minute edits like adding expenses), then approve and send. Surely this is something that can be done and should be done soon? Any response since last year Xero?

Message for Xero Team:

Given the number of people that have voted for this, is it possible to put this higher up on your development list? It seems like a pretty standard feature that should already exist!

would be the most helpful tool they could add to date of me using Xero for 10+ years

+1 this is an incredibly important feature for those invoicing customers in multiple time zones. This feature would help us send invoices at a time that is most convenient to them (without working irregular hours ourselves). Not having this is a major pain point that other platforms address.

This is a critical feature. Many small business owners are working later in the day or on weekends and the clients/customers do not appreciate email being sent over the weekend. Many recipients have apps on their phone, receive notifications, and feel compelled to reply. Please add this schedule send feature.

It would be helpful to have the ability to auto send invoices at a specific date and time.

Agreed, this is an extremely simple functionality that is included out-of-the-box on every other software I've used. I want to send invoices at the same time on the same day each month. Randomly sending looks unprofessional and desperate. I've been using Xero for two months now and this is kind of a deal breaker.

Update: How has it been a year since this was responded to by Xero? This should have been an out-of-the-box feature, not something we have to ask for. To note, I have to get up at 8am tomorrow to click send on invoices when it should be an incredible simple thing to schedule. As I said above, this tells me a lot about Xero's priorities and where customer needs fit into it.
