What's New?

ApprovalMax Pay is now available for purchase in beta

Currently, only Stripe-billed subscriptions and the GBP currency are supported. You can purchase the package for this add-on only on a monthly basis.

Please note: We are working on adding other billing channels and will roll them out shortly.


If you'd like to enable this add-on for your ApprovalMax Organisation, please contact us.

Submitting files to ApprovalMax Capture via email is now supported

Streamline your invoice processing by receiving files directly via a dedicated ApprovalMax email address and submitting them for automated data recognition.


Organisations can share their unique ApprovalMax email address with their Suppliers and have them send their invoices there for OCR processing. Or, if an organisation already uses a generic email address like [email protected], they can easily set up a forwarding rule to automatically route all messages to their ApprovalMax email address for OCR processing.

Find out more about submitting files to ApprovalMax here.

Pushing comments to Xero history is now generally available

When events occur in ApprovalMax – including approvals, rejections and added comments – they are automatically pushed to Xero and recorded in the corresponding section in Xero history:


This feature is supported for Purchase Orders as well as Bills and Sales Invoices, AP/AR Credit Notes and Quotes.

Request details versioning is now available in beta for Xero-connected Organisations

The versioning of request details records a comprehensive history of your requests, which you can view to better understand the evolution of each one:


This beta feature for Xero-connected Organisations is available to all customers on request. Once generally available, it will be included in trials as well as our Advanced and Premium plans. If you'd like to enable it for your ApprovalMax Organisation, please contact us.
