Hi rokinsjoinery, thanks for joining us here on the Community 🙂

 

We're not aware of any issues with the email invoices at the moment, is this impacting all clients or only some? If you send an invoice to your own inbox do you see the same message?

 

Thanks!

Yes, I'm getting the same reports from customers - they click on the link and get the 'Temporarily unavailable' message. I have tried sending myself dummy invoices to my inbox, and get the same problem, and to others, who get the same problem. So far all reports have come from iPhone and Apple users, but that could be coincidence.

My browser caches are cleared automatically when Safari closes, so it shouldn't be that possible issue causing the problem, as I shouldn't get the issue as caches are empty.

I have had to resort to emailing pdfs - not what I expected from a slick app like quickbooks, and it doesn't send the right business message either. People get stressed enough when they're locked out, and paying me shouldn't be made harder than necessary :smileyvery-happy:

Hello, JamesAshbyLocksmith. 

 

This isn't the kind of experience that I'd like you to have while using a QuickBooks, and we know how much time it can take when something isn't working in your end. I suggest reaching out to our Customer support team. They can take a look at your account and verify what causes the unexpected behavior. Here's how:  

 

  1. Select Assistant from the top bar.
  2. Enter your questions. 
  3. Click Talk to a human.
  4. Then select your preferred support method: Message an agent (Live chat), Call an agent, or Get a callback.  

To ensure that you'll be assisted immediately, I recommend checking our support hours before performing the steps.
