Be able to approve and send invoices via the API
Have optional parameters when creating invoices via the API to approve invoices and send then immediately to the contact email address
You can now approve invoices via the API . See our latest release notes for more details – http://blog.xero.com/developer/v2-release-notes/
At this stage the scope of this work is limited to allowing you to enter approved invoices and not trigger the sending of invoices via email. You can vote on that request here – http://xero.uservoice.com/forums/5528-xero-api/suggestions/1930769-be-able-to-email-approved-invoices-via-the-api

Hi Guys, adding my support for this, this would effectively allow our customers (http://www.copperproject.com a web-based project management tool for creatives) to keep track of their projects, then invoice directly from Copper into Xero.
Godspeed my amigos!

We'd like the ability to send bulk invoices to email recipients via the api. Eventually 10,000 recipients. WE have a client who would immediately switch to Xero if we could provide this functionality. We don't need drafts.

To follow up, we'd like to be able to use Xero to handle all our invoicing. We want to be able to create invoices on our system, then send them to Xero via the API. We also would like to be able to email them or send them via snail mail (e.g. via postalmethods.com?) to a billing address for a particular contact. (I couldn't see that it was possible to specify a separate billing physical address or billing email address in the API docs.)

I agree with Sam---this seems like an essential feature. I've looked at the API I think I could automate our entire invoicing system using Xero if this were implemented.

We operate a service that imports shopping cart orders into Xero.
Currently all orders go into the unapproved tab, and it would be preferable if the service could be automated so that orders which have been paid for could be inserted automatically.

This is something that we'd find *really* handy, as we're looking at running all our automated billing through Xero. Without this I'll have to create a whole separate batch mailer...

I'm surprised this isn't supported already - looks like a no brainer.
