   Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adding your vote to this idea! We totally get how important it is to keep your customer contact info accurate and up to date. An automatic update feature through invoicing sounds like a great way to save you some valuable time.

   Right now, if you send an invoice to an email that’s not already linked to a contact, you’ll need to add that email manually in Xero. The current setup is designed to be flexible so you can send invoices to multiple emails without changing the contact record. But we can definitely see how this feature would speed things up for you.

   This idea is now in the “Gaining Support” phase, which means it’s open for votes and comments. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it gets from the community. Your vote really helps us understand how much this feature matters to everyone using Xero.

   XERO you have totally screwed up a critical part of running a business. Why in the **** would you do this?? you have deliberately made it more difficult to invoice clients effectively. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX IT NOW... And why is it so difficult to find any solution to resolve. Go back to previous invoicing settings to auto populate the email with the invoice number and client details.
