Early access feature: Please reach out to support if you would like this setting enabled.

How to set this up

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations

  2. Open Xero settings

  3. In the Invoice Status section, you can choose how invoices should be raised. Select Approve & email.

  4. Save your changes


What this does

You can choose whether invoices created in Preno are:

  • Raised as Draft in Xero (no email sent), or

  • Raised as Approved and automatically emailed by Xero

This helps you control whether guests receive invoices straight away or if you review them first.


Important notes

  • If the invoice recipient doesn't have an email address, the invoice will be raised as drafts requiring approval in Xero.

  • Xero invoice is emailed from Xero, not Preno. These Xero invoice email templates are managed in Xero.


When to use each option

Use Draft if:

  • You want to review invoices before sending

  • You make manual edits in Xero

Use Approved + send email if:

  • You want invoices sent automatically

  • Your setup in Xero is ready (branding, templates, contact emails)
