What it does
The task
Open the bills in Xero that are approved and due in the next 7 days. Check that the bank details on each bill match the supplier's contact in Xero, and stop and tell me about any difference. Sign in to my bank bank with the vault and prepare one payment for each bill, with the bill number as the reference. Ask me before you confirm each payment. Then mark each paid bill as paid in Xero.
- It works in Xero and any bank site, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
- As a routine it runs every Thursday at 10:00 (cron
0 10 * * 4). - It stops for your approval before it sends, posts, pays, books or changes a record.
