Flag invoices that were not emailed because the customer has no email address

It would be helpful if Breww flagged invoices that weren’t emailed because there is no email address saved for the customer. At the moment, this can easily go unnoticed until the customer says they never received their invoice or we notice missing payment.

Could this show as a red notification beside Sales, similar to the example attached? Clicking it could bring up a list of the affected invoices, with the option to add an email address and send the invoice.

Once sent, the notification would disappear.

That would so helpful so that our customers don’t miss on their payments and would ease up task of tracking outstanding invoices.

Thanks for the suggestion. A similar idea was previously suggested - Prevent order when no "receives invoice email" tag/e-mail address

What is your thoughts on that as an alternative? In some ways, that’s easier as we simply prevent creating the order rather than find a way to retrospectively bring your attention to a problem. Would that also be a workable solution for you?

Hey Luke,

Appreciate the reply and I misread Hans’s suggestion, I thought it was more focused towards the email tag.

Our problem is similar/identical though, Breww gives the notification it’s invoiced, while in fact it isn’t.
Needing an email address to create a customer makes a lot of sense, you can’t add one if you don’t have that piece of information. But it’s also limiting.

Perhaps a good middle ground would be, that you can make draft invoices for a customer without an email, but you can’t confirm the order without an email address. This way it’ll flag/trigger internally to fix this issue prior to product leaving the building without an invoice attached.

Yes, that could work. This could also be a setting, so breweries can opt out of this check if they don’t want it (but it should probably be enabled by default).

That’d be awesome.
The notification next to sales which I showed in my screenshot, could still be an option in case an email bounces? I know this exists: Breww | How can I check if an email has been delivered/sent? | Help guides

I feel an alert would make it more automated and informative, instead of a manual check.
