Hi everyone, we understand how frustrating it is when important emails like invoices are filtered or blocked, and how this affects customer trust and timeliness of engagement with your transactional communications. Thank you for continuing to share examples and highlighting the impact this has on your business.
We’ve made meaningful progress towards enabling email sending from your own domain. While progress is taking longer than we’d like, we can confirm that substantial backend work is underway. This work spans multiple interdependent teams across Xero, and there are still important steps we need to work through before we can release the capability to customers reliably.
As we continue to develop this capability, there are a few questions that would help our product teams ensure we’re solving the majority of our users’ needs in this space, with a reliable and secure solution.
We’d really appreciate your input on the following questions, either…

Some stats on my LinkedIn post (https://lnkd.in/p/eYAUvrvy) as of 14:40UTC on 20 Oct:

Nothing here; nothing on LinkedIn; nothing to me personally.

Following the suggestion from Jonathan and others that we raise awareness of this issue beyond Xero's forum, I've published a LinkedIn post highlighting this issue and the fact that we've now been waiting over 13 years for a solution.
My hope is that raising awareness outside this forum might encourage Xero to prioritise the issue and provide a meaningful update.
If this issue affects your business, please consider liking, commenting on or sharing the post. In particular, sharing your own experiences of blocked invoices or delayed payments would help demonstrate the real-world impact.
Here's the post: https://lnkd.in/p/eq9MBmC8
Hopefully, together we can get some movement on this!

I've replied to Xero CEO's latest missive - see attached.
My expectations are low, but it's worth a shot.
Please consider doing the same.

@Andrew Syme: No permissions need to be granted to Xero to make this work. Organisations just need to add the relevant records to their DNS (once implemented by Xero). All control remains with the domain (DNS) owner.
This is standard practice across all good Sass apps.

+1 (more if I could)
It seems many company firewalls are now explicitly marking messages from messaging-service@post.xero.com as spam, or in some cases deleting them without even reaching the recipient's inbox. I have examples of both from my clients. This is despite the Xero address passing SPF / DKIM / DMARC checks.
PLEASE give us the option to set up DKIM records on our own domains so we can authorise Xero to send email using our own domains.

Hi 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…

Hi Xero,
Before any work on this, please address https://productideas.xero.com/forums/939198-for-small-businesses/suggestions/44960536-xero-mail-send-as-company-name-com-not-message first.
Email sending features in Xero are useless until this is resolved.

Account Transactions: Receipts - Send automated 'payment received' e-mail when payment is reconciled
569 votesHi everyone, we totally get how automating the sending of receipts when a transaction is reconciled would free up time and the manual task involved in this activity.
Though not in the pipeline at present, this is a feature our product team would like to explore more in the future.
We’ll be sure to update you all again when we are able to look into this deeper. Thanks

Hi everyone, though there isn't any progress to share on this idea we do want to provide and update for you all and thank you for engaging with us about this here.
We understand the desire and needs for being able to change or set a separate reply to email address when sending from your Xero organisation.
We're continuing to make improvements to sending of invoices in Xero however at this point our roadmaps does not extend to the email settings specifically.
This continues to be an area we're interested in diving deeper into in the long term and we'll be sure to share as soon as there's movement.
For the time being the only way to change the Reply-to email is to update this on the email settings screen prior to sending your transaction and change it back post sending. Thanks

Heya team, thanks to everyone who shared feedback through the form in our last update. Your contributions have helped us make great headway, and this idea is now moving into development.
We're inviting a limited group of users to test our new Statement list and PDF views. These are important stepping stones towards scheduled statements, and testers will automatically receive early access to scheduling when it becomes available. Register your interest through this form as soon as possible.
If you don't make it into this testing group, don't worry. We'll continue sharing updates here as the work progresses.
This early release gives you greater control over your statements, from customising which columns you see to editing contacts inline and previewing exactly what each customer will receive before you send. Your statements will also now match your invoice branding for a more consistent experience.
Please note: When you join, your entire…

Hi 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…

Thank you for finally providing an update.
1. Admin only
2. Strange question. We'd setup authentication (DKIM) on the whole domain. It would be helpful to be able to set the from and reply-to addresses in various locations (e.g. email templates), with a default value configured on the Xero org.
3. Potentially. Please add support for this. I've had issues in the past with Atlassian services when I couldn't authenticate my domain with different products of theirs as they used the same DKIM DNS names (but different values). Suggest adding some form of Xero org ID into the DKIM DNS record name.
Finally, please can you keep us updated on a regular schedule, e.g. every 2 weeks. Without that we have no way of knowing if this is actually progressing again or being ignored. Thanks.
