   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 update you if anything changes. Thanks

   Agree that this is critical.

   The suggested workaround is not practical and prone to human error.

   This is a basic function that most businesses expect as standard and it makes my business look unprofessional when I have to explain why I have accidentally used the wrong email address.

   The lack of this functionality is reason to migrate to another supplier.

   Are you able to provide a better update than it being "something we want to address longer term"?

   Many thanks,
