Quote - Get a link that can be shared externally
Ability to get quote links so users can also send it from their own/other email address.
Purpose: To simplify the current workflow. As users’ currently sending a quote to themselves from Xero, and then copy the link out of there.
Hi everyone, completely appreciate wanting to hear from us on the idea here. Having checked in with our product team we totally get the interest in this idea and creating more consistency between quotes and invoices in Xero.
While we'd like to take a closer look into this down the line, we want to be upfront that there's other work that the team are drawn to atm as a priority and creating a shareable link for a quote is not planned at this stage.
It's definitely on the teams radar and we're keeping an eye on the feedback here, as soon as there's any news to share I'll be sure to update you on this, here.

Can't believe this hasn't been done yet. We wrote off using Xero for Quotes nearly four years ago because of this. Revisted just now...and here we are. Basically a useless feature without it, for all the reasons given below.

YES! All of Xero's efforts making nice online quotes are somewhat wasted when it's so hard to get a link to them. This is especially when I'm generating several similar quotes (e.g. 1 year of maintenance, 3 years, and 5 years). I like to just send an email with a list of quotes and links rather than bombard the customers with individual emails. Right now I have to email each quote to myself first and fish out the links. It's inefficient and error prone. All Xero needs to do is add a "share -> get link" feature like invoicing already has.

I have customers whose email systems block Xero emails every time, so having an easy way to generate a quote link I can send from my email would be quite helpful.

Charisse White commented
Is there a way that we can extract the link to send the quote to client?

2015 to 2023 and still wait to include the same functionality invoices have...
This is a frustration every single day for us.

Roger Kennett commented
Seems like this is a very easy implementation for a big benefit. :)
Especially with no delay-send for quotes or invoices, at least with this I can use normal email with delay-send. -
Scott Roberts commented
Such a basic functionality – let's go guys.

Nick Unwin commented
any update!?
Save > Send to myself > Copy link > delete email.... seems idiotic when Share > Get Link ALREADY exists on invoices

Jon Lister commented
PLEASE IMPLEMENT THIS!!!
-
Peter McQuoid commented
Yes please I prefer to send quotes via our email system. Need the link to be available.
-
Douglas Evans commented
This functionality should be in the API.

Jonathan Krause commented
This would make Xero so much more useful to us. Please implement this ASAP!

Nick Unwin commented
perplexed how this is a thing on invoices but not quotes??
-
Michael Gibbs commented
Yep, just discovered I can't share a link via SMS to a quote. What year is this again? Get it together Xero devs, you're living in the past..

Crazy this was requested originally nearly 8 years ago ! ... CUMMON Xero ... better functionality like this is is much more important than the latest round of prettier screens / reports - how about listening to your users ?? and acting on simple suggestions like this a whole lot faster
-
Nick Unwin commented
This functionality already exists for invoices. Why not quotes?
-
Derek Diaz commented
please add this feature. its 2023

steve Jones commented

Rua Acorn commented
Yes, this seems to be an oversight, not already being possible.
