Uku and Xero Integration is Now Better Than Ever

Here are the fresh Uku updates from February.

New

  • Xero integration – Uku can automatically check Xero for invoices’ paid status and update invoices in Uku accordingly.

  • Report – View time entry gaps and overlaps of another team member.

  • Clients – Birthdays are essential and are now back as a contact field.

  • Emails – Task due date placeholder in emails now fully supports international date formats.

  • Companies House – Updating UK clients’ data from Companies House as part of importing them from an integration fills and updates all possible fields.

  • Client Portal – Preview client portal now also creates an example introduction task to convey the client portal experience.

  • Custom fields – Client and contact fields related to specific apps become visible upon activating the app and become hidden when deactivated.

  • Tasks – Set up one-time template tasks and create new tasks from these templates.

  • Menu – Save your preferred default view under any menu item to customise what you want to see when opening up, e.g. Client or Billing.

  • Projects – Save members in project fields as task assignees.

  • Web App – Save Uku as an app with Google Chrome and use it without a browser.

Improvements
