Hey everyone, we've seen all your votes and comments, and we totally get it – not being able to schedule one-off invoices or pick specific send times is a real pain point. Your feedback makes it clear how much time it costs you and how it can affect your client relationships.
Right now, repeat invoice templates go some way to providing some automation. But we know that's not quite what you're asking for when it comes to those one-off invoices or more precise timing for all your emails.
The good news is, our product team is digging in to the work that'd be needed to develop a solution, and figuring out the best way to make this happen. While we can't give any promises just yet, please know that your feedback is a huge part of this discovery process. Keep those comments and votes coming!
We'll post another update here…

Am I reading this correctly that 7-8 years after this idea was originally put forward, only now is it even being considered for development by Xero? How many more years will we have to wait for it to come to fruition, I wonder?

I send a number of clients a regular monthly invoice for the same amount each month, but with slightly different details each time (such as the month in which the work was carried out), so a repeating monthly invoice is no good for me.
However, being able to create all the invoices ahead of time and have them sent automatically on a specified date - which is also what I would need if I were away, seems like an obvious feature to have.
Please include this feature!

I appreciate not every idea can be incorporated, but this was originally proposed in 2015 and still nothing has been done about it.
Surely Xero doesn't believe the validity and value of an idea is based solely on the number of people who vote for it here? I know many Xero users who don't even know the forum exists, let alone are bothered to contribute.
An idea like being able to schedule invoices shouldn't need thousands of votes as it's a basic simple function (not necessary in implementation, I appreciate that, but from a user's perspective) that should come as standard. I mean I can schedule emails to send on my free email client software, which is rarely needed, yet on something as potentially valuable as scheduling invoices to send, I can't do that on a platform I pay for.
Can someone at Xero PLEASE respond/acknowledge this thread and give us some idea of whether or not, after 8 1/2 years, this idea will ever be implemented?
