Enter your idea

The ability to pre-schedule the sending of invoices would allow me to create the invoice when I have an easy day before EOM and have it send at the right time when I'm juggling a billion things during EOM. Especially when EOM coincides with payroll, there's rarely time to get everything done, and sending invoices is lower priority than paying people, which then has knock-on effects on cashflow.

@Annie, yeah I agree - they are not the same thing. I hear you re "new" invoicing - what a waste of time that was!

Xero, are you paying attention?

I've been sent here from a previous idea - Schedule invoice to send on future date - and I'm not sure that they're quite the same thing.

I want to be able to schedule send invoices, and I want to be able to do it on the fly, not through a system wide setting - so, if I'm creating invoices from my sofa on a Friday night I'd like to be able to schedule them to go on a Monday (or whatever day I choose).

But honestly? What I'd really like above all else? Is for the absolute travesty of 'new' invoicing to be dealt with.

It's staggering that this isn't a feature already.

It would be highly beneficial to have a delayed delivery option for sending invoices to customers. We typically process invoices on specific days, and customers prefer not to receive invoices before their projects are completed. The ability to schedule invoice deliveries for set dates would provide peace of mind, streamline our workflow, and reduce administrative time.

Create the invoices, then use "get link" or download the PDF and schedule the send in an email. This way it will save the correspondence in a paper trail too.

@ 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.
