Xero HQ - Ability to use Ask to send template queries to non Xero clients
I was told on a recent Xero training course that I could use "Ask" to send queries to clients - even those not on Xero. However, having just spent a considerable amount of time setting up a lot of new templates for requesting self assessment evidence from clients I have now found out that you can't use it for individuals who are not on Xero. Perhaps this could be something which could be looked at in the future? I have a number of individual clients who need self assessments but don't require Xero and it would certainly be a bonus for me to get the information coming in as the clients prepare it - rather than waiting for them to receive my request and then gather all the items before they respond.

Hi Leah 👋 great to hear you've been through some of the training!
You can send Xero HQ Ask queries to non-Xero clients, however you'll just need to add them as a client in Xero HQ so they can receive the notification.
On your clients end, they can create a Xero login to access and respond to your queries through Ask, without needing to add an organisation.
