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)
