  • If you sort or filter by email, all members with valid email addresses will have their invoices emailed to them and those without emails could be printed and mailed. 


  • Searching or filtering by E-mail status will enable you to view all members who successfully received their invoices via email

  • To email the invoice, make sure that a member’s email address is valid. An invoice will not be delivered to a bad email address or no email address. Only statuses that are ready to sent and sent will receive invoices electronically. There is also a failed status which indicates that the electronic invoice did not go through to the email on file. 

  • Once you have selected the members with valid email addresses from the list, click the Email invoices button 

  • A pop-up message will appear. After reading the pop-up message, click continue if you want to proceed with the action or cancel, if you wish to discontinue the action.
