What has shipped, in order. One person builds BulkOps; this page is the honest record of where it is up to.

Payment runs with credit notes, and bulk attachment export
Two new operations, both requested for years on Xero's idea board.
Payment runs with credit notes (Pro): pick the bills to pay, and BulkOps applies outstanding supplier credit notes first, then creates one Xero batch payment for the remainder — so each supplier's payment matches their statement. The run is undoable until the batch is reconciled. BulkOps never moves money; the batch goes to your bank the same way it always has.
Bulk attachment export (all plans): every file attached to your invoices, bills and credit notes in a date range, collected server-side and downloadable as one ZIP for 7 days. Read-only — nothing in Xero changes. Existing connections need a one-time reconnect to grant the extra read-only permission.
The homepage now shows all four operations, and there are new guides on payment runs and attachment export.

Guides, and a look at the idea board
Published a set of guides on the manual processes BulkOps automates — written to be useful whether or not you use the product — and a data report from reading 654 ideas on Xero's product board: votes, age, and what Xero has said. The top 20 have been open for an average of seven years.
Also clarified plan limits: Pro covers up to 5 organisations, and larger practices can email us for a custom arrangement.

Big jobs now pause and resume themselves
Our first large customer run — 1,402 allocations in one job — hit Xero's daily API limit partway through. That taught us a lesson, and this release is the result: when a job reaches a rate limit, it now pauses itself and resumes automatically once the limit resets. Nothing fails, nothing is lost, and there is nothing you need to do.
Large jobs also email you now — when they finish, and when they pause — so you can close the browser and get on with your day. Jobs have always run on our servers, not in your tab; now they tell you how they went.

First release
BulkOps launched with three operations: bulk credit note allocation (scan unallocated credit notes and open invoices, propose matches, run them as one job), bulk overpayment allocation for the same flow on overpayments, and bulk tracking archive for clearing out old tracking options.
The rules that still define the product were there from day one: every operation shows a full preview before anything is written, every write is logged to an audit trail you can export as CSV, and every job can be undone with one click. Previews are free without limit, the first 25 executed items are free, and paid plans start at $19/month.
