Join nowWhy is my QuickBooks online sending invoices and reminders without my approval? This just started recently and has been embarrassing.
NOTE: Email reminder notifications setting is set to OFF so this is clearly a bug in the system
I can share some information about those transactions that is set to your sent automatically, @bharrod.
You could have created a scheduled recurring transaction. That means they will be sent automatically. To resolve this, I suggest checking your recurring template and pause it or edit it and set this as Unscheduled. An unscheduled recurring template will not be sent automatically and will only work when you choose to use it.
Here's how to pause a recurring template:
In case you'd like to edit this template to unscheduled one:

No, that's not the issue. I don't have the recurring transaction feature, that must be only for the upgraded plans. I have the basic quickbooks online plan. So this issue has not been resolved yet.
It's not invoices that are automatically sending, it's reminder emails to pay outstanding invoices that are the issue.
When I create an invoice it will automatically send it to the client, but I don't want it to do that, also if I send an invoice to a client, the system will keep reminding them daily to pay their invoice, I do not want this to happen. I do not have the email reminders feature turned on, so this should NEVER happen.
Please help me resolve this issue asap.
