    Hi community, we appreciate this idea has collected a fair amount of votes and commentary. This has all been shared with, and considered by, our product team - so they have an understanding of the work that would be required for this.

    We'd like to confirm that, at this stage, the automatic generation and sending of reports is not something we have plans to develop in the near term. We are still interested to get a clearer understanding of demand for this feature, and we'll continue to track this through the conversation and votes on this idea. If there's any change we will let you know!

    This would be a no-brainer useful feature both to automate sending reports to clients but also to allow users to integrate Xero with other tools - e.g. you could email a report file to a shared mailbox and use a script to upload the data into tools like PowerBI.

    But just to temper people's expectations - this is why Xero will probably never introduce this feature. There are tools like OData Link which integrate Xero data with other tools, and if they were to enable us to automate report emails then the demand for those tools would dramatically drop.

    Sadly, this feature isn't compatible with Xero's business plan which is the reason they are not considering it.
