  1. So we have set up and had a lot of success with email templates in Xero. it would be useful to have the ability to have a default option for each contact (or group of contacts) a specific template for a specific reason eg new invoice or AR. so that everytime we go to email an invoice for example it preloads on a certain template.

    Eg we have a number of clients that only speak read German and/or french so it would be nice to be able to set these contacts to default to use our German and/or French templates…

  3. Xero have changed the files section and now there is inbox and then archive. All the previous folders clients have are now in the archive section. In order to file something in a folder they now need to move it to the archive section which as this shows all documents, they then have to find the document again and then tick it and use the move to button to move it to the chosen folder. Xero need to add the move to button to the inbox screen otherwise clients are having to do multiple clicks again to move the documents.…

  4. Make a force sync button from Xero to Hubdoc.
    E.g. adding a new account in Xero takes a while for it to eventually show in Hubdoc.
    Unless you have to disable and reactivate the Xero-Hubdoc link

    Why not a button, that just 'force sync' the new chart of accounts into Hubdoc?

    Hi everyone, appreciate all the engagement here so far. It has been a while, so wanted to update the status of this idea here. We understand that when you’re managing contacts, having a clear way to separate a legal entity name from a trading name can be important for keeping your records accurate.

    The suggestion here is to add a dedicated Legal Name / Business Registered Name field to contact records, so this information can be stored separately and used when managing documents, reporting, and client details.

    We’ve moved this to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest and gather more examples from businesses that need to manage different legal and trading names in their workflows.


  6. Increase functionality of Hubdoc App to be able to process (i.e. code) receipts in the same way you can on the Hubdoc website

  7. 2 decimal places in Hubdoc is not enough. It must match Xero's 4 decimal places.

    I have had to stop recommending Hubdoc to businesses that use item/inventory functions in Xero. Many businesses buy and sell products to the 4th decimal place. When you are dealing with large numbers 2 decimal places are significant. Users have become frustrated with having to do rounding line items and other fixes just to ensure the correct total price/quantity is captured in Xero.

  8. Allow email attachments (such as PDF's) to be dragged from an email, and dropped into Files. This feature does not work with New Outlook, only Classic Outlook. As Classic Outlook will be made redundant by Microsoft one day, it's imperative Xero restore this functionality we have always had with New Outlook. This isn't an idea. This is a request to maintain the same level of functionality we have always had

    Thanks for sharing this feedback in Product Ideas, Tamara. Drag & drop options into Xero Files is something our product team are looking into, however we can't make any commitment to development at this stage. I will keep you updated of any progress around this here.

    In the meantime taking on board your feedback here they are keen to get further insight of the old to new outlook experience if there are any further details you'd like to share on your experience using Outlook with Xero, here?

    While the drag & drop you're after isn't available atm, you should be able to use the Files unique email to still send your attachments from Outlook to your Xero Files inbox.

  9. I'd just like the cursor to already be IN the search field when I open Contacts please.
    Thanks

    We understand why this idea is quickly gaining traction. Being able to start typing in the search bar as soon as the contacts page loads would be a small but meaningful improvement.

    Right now, the cursor doesn’t land in the search bar by default, so it’s an extra click each time.

    This idea's now in the Gaining Support stage. If it’s something that would make a difference to your workflow, adding your vote or comment helps us understand the wider demand—and gives our product team more to work with when prioritising updates.

    We’ll post here with any changes or progress.

  11. To be able to 'pin' a note t the top of the client profile to see a note clearly.

    This note will continue to stay at the top of their activity to view easily.

    Hi team, we appreciate the interest in being able to pin contact notes so these show more prominently.

    Right now, as you may be aware there is a Notes field (separate to the Files & Notes on a contact s record). This is within the Contact Information section when adding or editing contact details.

    Information you enter here will be shown on the Contact main page to the right side of the screen and can be edited as needed

    Being open we don't have plans for enabling the ability to pin a note on a contact at present but will continue to track the interest in this through the community. Thanks

  12. It would be great if you could view the contact name and primary person when searching contacts, not just the contact name.

  13. Users can scan their invoices via mobile app when they don’t have an internet connection.

    Purpose: To make sure that the invoices/documents didn’t get lost in the Hubdoc app when the internet connection is intermittent.

  14. To make users able to see repeating invoice details from Contact record.

    Purpose: To make users jump into active repeating invoices easily, and to minimise the risk of setting up duplicate repeating invoices for the same contact.

  15. I would like to be able to check mark the invoices being paid on the contact page where you look at the open invoices instead of going to a separate page to pay bulk invoices.

    Thanks for your feedback on being able to pay invoices and bills directly from the contact page.

    This isn’t something that’s on our current roadmap for invoicing, bills or payments. Right now we’re focused on other improvements in these areas, so there’s no planned work or timeframe we can share for adding a bulk “pay / receive payment” option from the contact view ⭐

    If this changes and the idea moves onto the roadmap, we’ll post an update on the Product Ideas page first so you can follow along:

  16. We have dozens of parent companies with underlying subsidiaries who place separate orders for separate locations, all under the parent company's credit line/name. These all split into different contacts in Xero when they come in from our order processing system. We need Xero to support hierarchies/parent-child relationships/nested orders, so that all purchases can be aggregated to the parent company, both for tracking overall credit use and for sending consolidated statements that include all purchases from all "children". We work with BigCommerce who has a BundleB2B feature that allows these kind of parent-child hierarchies on the client-facing side, but we can't…

  17. We publish a large quantity of bills from Hubdoc to Xero. To implement a purchase order system we will need to be able to link these bills from Hubdoc to Purchase orders created in Xero. Otherwise Hubdoc is not really of use to us and will make the work load more.

  18. Hi not sure if it is available, but can you add WhatsApp to clients? It would be great if one can email and WhatsApp client invoices and statements, directly from the online portal.

    Thanks for sharing your interest in being able to send invoices via WhatsApp from Xero.

    While this isn't a direct feature available in Xero right now, an option right now for invoices is to use the Xero Accounting app where you can retrieve the link for the invoice to share this via another app on your device, like WhatsApp - we have help on this for iOS and Android in Xero Central.

    We're continuing to get a sense of the support for this feature through this idea but want to be open this isn't something we have plans for at this time.

  19. Need a better user management/access experience in HubDoc. Currently the practice user who set up the Hubdoc account needs to invite all other practice users into the client. Would it be possible to merge the Hubdoc access into the Xero HQ access or replicate the HQ access system in HubDoc.

  20. When emailing receipts to Hubdoc, anything written in the email title or body should stay with the receipt. Currently, Hubdoc turns one email into 2 uploads. One upload is the email. One upload is the receipt. It is nearly impossible to know which email matches which receipt. The result is that important documentation is lost. For example, my clients often email a receipt to Hubdoc for meals and they write who was present at the meal and the business purpose into the email's title or body. Those details are required by the IRS but the current Hubdoc system does not…
