Invoice/Bills: Notifications - Reminder Invoice/Bill becomes due
To have an option to set up e-mail notifications to receive a report when an invoice payable becomes due
Purpose: To easily be reminded when invoices/bills due through email.
Hi team, we appreciate the attention this idea has received and do want to share that while we aren't directly developing at this stage, notification and being able to collaborate on bills is something our team are currently looking into.
We can't provide any promises right now, but we wanted to loop you all in on news. Once the teams research has concluded and we have a better sight on what can be done in this space I'll return to update you all, here. Thanks

I'm very (un)surprised this hasn't been added yet in 2023.

I am just testing this out now for trial and I do not see a repeating bill I set up on dashboard at all. It only shows manual 1 time bills but no repeating. Unless I am missing something. Even Quicken shows all future bills like repeating phone bills, etc. Cannot believe this is not in a business accounting app.

I would like to be reminded of when my bills are due

It would be good to have the ability to remind users of planned payment dates.
Suggest having a user setting to remind you (by email) that you have bills that you planned to pay today, but haven't marked as paid - possibly with a time setting so users can select a time that works for them.

we often enter into agreements over 24 or 36 months but are invoiced per annum so an automatic notice to raise an invoice each year would be so helpful

This is really basic stuff.
Feels like Xero has dropped the ball with any meaningful functional updates over the last couple of years.
I've been using Xero for many years, and remember when they used to action customer feedback and add functionality to the system.
Honestly feels like the business is moving to "cash cow" stage where the focus is on fee increases rather than value adding. -

We need this

This seems like basic functionality and it’s surprising that’s not already an option. How likely is it that this will be released anytime soon?

The most basic of features has been left out of a really good product. Please get this happening as soon as possible.

Just tried to implement this in my account and discovered it doesn't exist. An email on the due date or 24 hours prior would be ideal!

Hi,
Its so surprising that we do not have this feature in Xero.
Support team must work on it and get sorted Asap for all users benefit.

This feature would be so incredible for us. The staff member who makes payments rarely used Xero for anything else, and it would prevent bills missing their payment date

It is very important to have this "bills to pay" report through email reminder. It helps greatly to plan cash out-flow.

This feature is way overdue. Many xero customers have been asking for this for the last few years. It is a MUST for our business now, with many bills that we can no longer manually track. Zoho and other smaller options are already doing this and Xero has to add it immediately.

I'd like this where I can also select which payees to remind for, e.g. some are direct debit so I don't need to remember to pay them.

Hi Xero Team Members, please create this option since it is one of the important features to me to receive an email reminder for bills that are due or will be due to be paid in Bills to Pay in Xero Blue. Thank you.

mad that this doesn't already exist. Please add this Xero.

We can automatically remind people to pay us, so we should certainly be able to automatically remind ourselves to pay our vendors.

Like everyone else, I'm surprised this isn't already a feature. It should have been in the Top 10 list of things Xero should have, but certainly after Correct Math.

Yes please!! We have payment terms on invoices. The business owner who makes the payment is not in Xero on a regular basis and needs to be reminded to pay the bills.
