Contacts - Optional average to invoiced amount auto-check
Auto-check of an invoice amount and compare it to the customer's maximum ever invoice amount. To avoid a typo eg entered £7000 instead of £700.
2 votesThanks for the interest in the idea here. As noted in my last update Contact Credit Limits might help some situations but we appreciate may not suit all needs. We don't have any direct change planned for this feature atm, but we'll continue to monitor the interest around this and share if there's any progress with you all, here.

Contacts - Set default settings when adding new contacts
Have the ability to set default settings for every new Contact you add to Xero.

Currency
Invoice Theme
Invoices Due DateCheers

Contacts - Ability to set a list of countries that a contact can be added
It would be good to be able pick from a pre-defined list of countries. This would enable clean data entry. Also we are syncing data with Hubspot and it is causing issues with matching to pre-defined lists with the CRM

Contacts - Save and exit
Contacts. I would like to say the upgraded version of contacts is clunky, and would prefer the older system over this 'new upgraded' system. Having to 'save and exit' before adding all other contact details is adding more steps to an otherwise simple process. Thanks
4 votesHi Vashte, appreciate change can take a little getting used to.
However, we can help you out here! While the Save and exit is always available when adding or editing a contact you can simply click through each section.
The detail you enter between section will hold until you leave the page - So, you can enter in all your details before selecting Save and exit.

Contacts - Pull client's contact detail from WhatsApp
From within your contact details or Quote or Invoice - why not have the functionality to communicate to a client via WhatsApp or send the Quote or Invoice via WhatsApp. If you are in the construction industry, acknowledging that not everyone is in construction, the craftsmen you work with only gets to Mail and acceptance of quotes in the evenings. WhatsApp's they respond to easily and quickly ....

Contacts | Overview - View payments against invoices
It would be handy to be able to customize the view screen on the contacts screen within Xero. Ie add additional columns - a payment column? It would be a lot easier to have a visual of payments received rather than having to click on the invoice or run a statement against the client to see when payment was last received / paid. It would also be handy to have an item column that includes payments. As well as an option to reconfigure the column order, Ie. Date in first column.

Contacts - Ability to create transfers between contacts
Could there please be a facility to post journals between contacts (either supplier or customer) for example between BT Telecom and EDF energy
Currently there is only the facility to post journals between nominal ledger codes.
Many thanks2 votesHi Julie, could you explain a little more the scenarios in which you'd be looking to make use of a this sort of functionality?
At present - if the transactions has originally be assigned to the wrong contact this can be edited.
Understanding more of the use case may help us find another solution for you here, although I don't want to be open that we don't have plans for enabling transfers between contacts.

Contacts | Increase character limit for countries
The ISO 3166 country name for "United Kingdom" is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the)", which is 58 characters. We are currently unable to use this name for our contacts as Xero throws an error (both in the UI and API).
Please consider increasing the country name maximum length to at least 60 characters.

Contact - Business Number (ABN) verification check
Ability to search details of an ABN against the ABN register, from within Xero.
Purpose: To see if the contact within Xero has valid ABN or not.
67 votesHi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on ABN verification. We really appreciate you explaining how this could make it easier to stay compliant and simplify your daily workflows.
Right now, you can use the quick link on the Contacts page in Xero to open the official ABN Lookup site and check details manually. We understand this isn’t the fully integrated solution you’d prefer, but it’s the option currently available for verifying contact information.
Our product team has continued to review this idea, however it’s not something we’re planning in the near future. The idea will stay open for votes, and we’ll keep tracking interest here. If anything changes, we’ll post an update in this thread.

Contact - Supplier Account Credit Limits
Ability to show account credit limit in supplier contact.
Purpose: Users can easily know the limit of orders from suppliers.

Contact - Notify all users or nominated users when supplier bank account changes.
Ability to have email notification to all users/nominated users when supplier bank account changes.
Purpose: So all people in Xero orgs will immediately know if there’s any unusual activity in supplier bank account detail.
145 votesAppreciate wanting an update from us here, everyone. We know that having more visibility of when a supplier’s bank account details change is important to you and understand that there are some security concerns around this. This is something our product teams are aware of the appetite for, however we want to be upfront that this feature is not planned in the near future.
While not a direct solution to what you’re asking here, it’s worth noting that the ability to change supplier’s bank account details is limited by the bank account admin permission. Advisors will have access to the Assurance dashboard where you’ll be able to get an easy view of any Contacts whose bank account details have been edited, and you can also view this information running the History and Notes report.

Contacts - Different default email addresses for different transactions in Xero
Ability to allocate different transactions to different email addresses.
Purpose: Because it’ll make users’ workflow easier when they’re dealing with the contacts that have different departments.
723 votesHi community, we appreciate your continued feedback on having different default email addresses for various transaction types in Xero contacts, and the manual steps involved to ensure you're communicating with the right person for different purposes.
Currently, one way of managing this in Xero would be to include every additional person on a contact record in emails, and then removing those that aren't required when sending each transaction. However we totally get this isn't the ideal solution.
While being able to set different email addresses for differing transaction types is something we want to address longer term, like the idea for multiple addresses work for this feature requires cross-collaboration between teams in order to achieve.
Once the multiple addresses feature is live this is something we'll be able to consider more closely and provide further updates on.
We do regularly review all ideas here, and your input is vital. We'll…

Contacts - Send out bulk emails to suppliers and customers
Ability to send bulk emails to both suppliers and customers.
Purpose: Saves more time when businesses need to send emails to all their contacts. Especially when they need to announce specials or price increases.
241 votesHi community, I know it's been sometime since our last update and while we still don't have any plans for building a complete email system within Xero we wanted to share news of a new integration very much centered around needs expressed by some customers, here.
Xero have partnered with Constant Contact to provide our customers a free integration to help small businesses streamline accounting and marketing by keeping customer data connected and automating routine tasks.
With Xero + Constant Contact you'll be able to segment and engage your customers using financial and transactional insights, making it easy to deliver targeted marketing campaigns that drive results. You can also improve cash flow by sending automated invoice reminders and payment follow-ups through Constant Contact’s email campaigns, helping you reduce late payments. Xero customers can get 50% off any Constant Contact plan for 6 months. Terms apply.
If this integration doesn't quite…

Contact - View Repeating Invoice details on Contact record
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.

Contacts - Allow duplicate contact names
Ability to have duplicate contact names in Xero.
Purpose: It’ll make an easier workflow for users. Because often, they have the same contact name and trading name but different addresses.
169 votesHey community, thank you for your continued interest in this idea.
Wanted to provide an update here as it's been a while since we last spoke to duplicate contacts.
I do understand that, at face value, this seems like a quick fix. However, as the contacts screen interacts with many other parts of Xero, this work can not commence until the modernisation of other, related systems is complete.
Due to this, we do not expect support for duplicate contacts to be delivered in the coming short-term.
In the meantime however, we're keen to continue collecting feedback and votes on this idea, and I will update you here as soon as there's more work to share.

Contacts - Warning if entering contact simliar to existing
Ability to have a notification when there’s a duplicate contact in Xero.
Purpose: To make users easily check contacts that have similar details.

Contacts: Statements - Allow to be sent to Contact Groups
Ability to send statements to contact groups.
Purpose: To make users’ easier to send statements rather than sending it individually.
240 votesHi everyone, it’s great to hear the use our customers find in Contact groups on Xero. We can totally get wanting to enhance the use of contacts and bulk send statements to all members of a group at once.
In lieu of this functionality right now, you could manually filter and select contacts from your list before sending statements.
With sights set on helping our customers collect payments faster, we have a team that is looking at work in the reminders and statements space and sending to contact groups is being explored as part of this. For the time being we'll move this idea to In discovery and I'll keep you looped in on any progress that could help needs here.

Contacts - Permanently delete if no records
Ability to delete contacts who have no related records/activity.
Purpose: Because some contact that has no record shouldn’t be visible in Xero and can just be deleted.
147 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing how we can make managing contacts in Xero more efficient. We understand the need to keep your contact list clean and uncluttered, and how being able to fully remove unused or duplicate contacts would help simplify things.
At this stage, permanent deletion of contacts isn’t in the pipeline. That said, your feedback has been shared with our product team as part of ongoing conversations around improving contact management.
For now, you could create a “Deletion Contact” in Xero and merge any unwanted contacts into it before archiving. It’s a quick way to clean up without having to archive each one separately and minimise clutter.
We appreciate your input and your continued partnership as we work to improve the experience, and we’ll keep you posted if there are any updates.
