Overview
Readysell can automatically send an email batch with invoices at the end of the day. This is advantageous in situations where there may be corrections to invoices that occur throughout the day. By scheduling invoices to be sent in a batch at the end of the day, customers will only receive their finalised invoices after any corrections are made.
