Purchase Orders - Email notification for approved purchase orders
Set-up an email notification to alert users when their Purchase Order has been approved

We have an app that can help with this. Envy Analytics, which includes our Alerts feature, sends you an email whenever there are items in the Awaiting Approval status in Xero, helping you approve or decline transactions more quickly. You can add multiple recipients, change the frequency of alerts (hourly, daily, weekly) and set up repeat alerts to ensure nothing is missed.
The emails you receive contain hyperlinks to each document (invoice/bill/credit note) that needs actioning so that you can quickly access the document you need to deal with.
Checkout the app in the Xero App Store: https://apps.xero.com/!6dqM7/uk/app/envy-analytics
We are always on the lookout for quality-of-life improvements for Xero users so drop a suggestion across to us if you can think of anything else that would make your Xero workflows better.

Our team would greatly benefit from a task reminder feature to ensure purchase orders are processed on time. This is especially vital during busy workdays to help us stay on track with important tasks.
Could we explore the possibility of implementing such a feature?

It would be great to add the option to include the approver of the PO and email them when it is requested and then for a return approved/declined email to be returned to the requester. This would make the PO module much better as a function, at the moment it is onerous and relies on an approver to look for POs to approve and a requester to keep checking if it has been approved or not.

Good day
Any progress on this from Xero? -

This is quite important because if there are people which are waiting to order items and they are not notified then that item will not be ordered. This can have a detrimental effect on the purchase ordering process as it will not work as efficiently as it should be.
