Hi there, @alex62

 

Thank you for posting to the Community.  

 

In QuickBooks, there's a default setting in sending email. We're unable to change it. I can see the importance of having the feature to set your own domain to send email. So I’ll take note of it and send them to our Product Development team. 

 

In the meantime, I recommend you visiting our Blog to learn what new updates are being rolled out, as well as additional references while working with QuickBooks. Here's the link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/blog/  

 

 Please let me know should you need anything else. I'll be here to help.

Having just adopted Quickbooks, I find this sort of comment a little worrying. I moved from Zoho Books and only because the PSA solution I use didn't intergrate with it. There is no way I'm going to send invoices to my customers from an email sending address of @notification.intuit.com'. This is an absolute show stopper for me!!!

 

How Intuit have not added the ability to customise email sending domians (with DKIM) says to me that this solution is 100% Micky Mouse!

 

What a joke!

The option under Gear > Company > Contact Info (shown below) is misleading. It suggests that the email address that customers will see when receiving emails will be the address added in this field... but it's NOT! Invoices are sent using a generic sending address of QuickBooks @notification.intuit.com. I sincerely hope that someone from Intuit replies saying I've completely got it wrong otherwise this is one million percent unacceptable on so many levels.

the only way to use your own email, is to save or print the invoice to pdf, then open the email client and attached it to a new email

 

Though everyone else on the net can let you use your own email for sending, it seems to be an area the intuit programmers find difficulty with.  people have been asking for that for at least the last four years

Thanks for the suggestion!  Intuit, please implement this!  Yes, sending the email to yourself and the resending with your email is a workaround, but definitely not convenient.  Please make our life better Intuit.  While I'm at it.  Can we request for a Custom Domain as well?

Thanks for joining this conversation, @DavidJLive.

 

I can see how having the ability to use and customize your own domain to send email in QuickBooks Online (QBO) would be helpful for you and your business. That said, rest assured that I'll pass along your suggestion to our Product Developers. They're always looking for ideas to consider on how to improve QBO.

 

For now, I suggest visiting our Blog site. This is where we share recent happenings and future developments, such as updates to newly added features. Please refer to the link shared by my colleague above.

 

Just in case, I'll add this article for future reference: Send an invoice.

 

Please let me know if you have any other concerns by leaving a comment in this thread. I'm more than happy to help. Have a good one!

Year after year, you see the same feature requests to Intuit and they respond with absolutely nothing for their customers. 4+ years now and we still can't use a professional address for sending out invoices... just noreply at intuit or a gmail address (really?)

September 8, 2022

I'd also like to see this feature....

September 22, 2022

I agree. We are having problems with people telling us they haven't received invoices and upon investigation we either the customer has blocked the intuit address because of previous spam from other sources or the reason is simply unknown.   Customers would generally trust our own domains so it makes sense for it to come from there.

 

I have escalated this via email as it does need addressing so hopefully we will see something in the not too distant future.

Don't get your hopes up. This has been an issue for me FOR YEARS and this thread has existed for years too!

April 23, 2023

just be straight with everybody and say you can't do and say its not coming 

July 17, 2023

No fix huh? Not surprising. 

December 8, 2023

It's 2023 and this ticket has been open, unresolved since 2020?

 

C'mon Intuit. Other programs have this ability to add a custom domain.

 

Let's make this a priority for 2024 at the very least....

It seems that using your domain to send email in QuickBooks Online (QBO) would be helpful for you and your business, sblucas. 

 

The feature you're looking for is not yet available on QBO. However, we appreciate your ideas and suggestions. It will help us improve our designs and services in the future. Have feedback to notify our Product Development Team again about this and might consider it for further updates.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks, click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  2. Select Feedback under Profile.
  3. Share your feedback.
  4.  Hit Next to submit.

 

For any updates, visit this article to see the status of your feedback: QuickBooks Online Customer Feedback.

 

On the other hand, I'll leave this link as your guidance in personalizing your sales forms before sending them to your customers: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online

 

You can notify us for more queries regarding using a domain to send emails. I'm always ready to assist. Take care.

This is a real deal breaker for me, and has led me to look for an alternative and I have a 100% never recommend Quickbooks, which amounts to 17 different potential new customers in the past year.

March 12, 2024

Here we are in 2024 still not able to do this. I have customer that don't receive the invoices emailed from in QBO at all, let alone landing in spam folders. Soon the email from within the app will stop working altogether.

 

Can this feature request be prioritised?

Thank you for joining in this thread, Opia. I understand the importance of having to email your customers for your business. Allow me to shed some light on this. 

 

Please know that we value our customers' feedback to ensure that our product fits your needs. However, we cannot determine if the current feedback is being prioritized since they are randomly read by our product developers. And this may take time to add to the upcoming updates.

 

The good thing is that you can check our website to track the status of your feedback and see the recently updated ideas: Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, you might want to visit our QuickBooks Blog for the latest innovations and product news.

 

This thread is always open for more feature requests and QuickBooks-related queries. The Community is available 24/7 to assist you. Stay safe.

For folks still looking for a solution to this, Fazeshift (https://www.fazeshift.com/) just launched the functionality to send QuickBooks invoices via email using your own custom domain.

 

It basically plugs into QuickBooks, grabs the invoice, and sends the email to your customer using your custom domain so invoices stop ending up in spam folders.

I am the systems administrator for a "medium" sized business (about 800 employees, of which about 300 have email accounts).

 

At one point about a year or two ago, we were receiving around 20+ emails a day of "Fake invoices".  Scammers who send fake invoices using the "trusted" email of "quickbooks @ notification . intuit . com", to try and get people to pay them for nothing.

 

As such, I just blocked that email entirely.  Not one of my 300+ users can receive ANY email coming from that address (invoice, quote, receipt, nothing).

 

What I actually did, was setup, on my M365 tenant, a "transport rule" to redirect the email to a "quickbooksscam @ mydomain . com".  I then setup, on M365 "Flows", to take any new email received to that address, extract the "rely-to" address (so that I can get the address of the "actual" sender), and then send a response saying something like:

 

"Due to numerous fake invoices received from a Quickbooks email account, we have blocked this address.  If you want to send our company an invoice you will need to download the PDF and send it via your own email account.  Or, I highly recommend finding a different invoice sofware other than Quickbooks."

 

Luckily, we don't use Quickbooks for our company, so I don't have to worry about this for any of OUR outgoing communications.
