Here's what our product team shipped over the last two weeks. Watch the update below, or find it in notifications in the bottom left of the Light desktop app.
What we shipped
See every step your agents take
Handing work to an agent is easier when you can check what it's done. You can now open any agent run in Light and see every step it took, its reasoning and every record it changed.
The agent store has also grown to 21 ready-made agents, from spotting unusual card spend to chasing approvals. Each one is labelled Report, Draft or Act so you know what it will do, and you can deploy one from Settings › Agents or ask the assistant.
Fix a stuck bill yourself
Your payment run shouldn't wait on one stuck bill. If a bill stalls in approval or import, you can now reset it yourself from the ⋮ menu and send it back through. Admins see when an approval step is done, and bills post as soon as they're approved.
Light also holds any bill where the vendor collects by Direct Debit, so nobody gets paid twice.
Revenue and accruals on the right day
Your numbers are most useful when revenue and costs land on the day they belong to. Release templates now post on any day you choose, follow the number of days in each month, or release daily, and every amount adds up to the cent. Find it under Settings › Release templates.
E-invoicing across Europe
Selling across borders means keeping up with a different e-invoicing rulebook in every country. Light now sends and receives e-invoices across Europe through Peppol, plus the national networks in Denmark, Finland, Greece, Spain and Italy, with France coming later this week. When an e-invoice fails, Light shows you the exact field to fix.
We're also building support for Germany's e-invoicing rules now, and we'll test it with customers early so you're ready before the 1 January deadline.
One more thing: getting help, faster
When you have a question about Light, the quickest answer is usually one message away. Ask the assistant first, in the web app, in Slack or on mobile. It can explain how a feature works, find where a bill sits in approval, or pull the numbers you need.
For anything the assistant can't solve, raise a ticket without leaving Light. Once an admin installs the new Support Portal app, you can create a ticket inside the product, follow its status and see every ticket you have open with us. A ticket reaches the right specialist faster than a message to your account manager.
Plus, all this
- Approve up to 100 tasks at once, and export who approved each journal entry and when.
- Stripe invoices post on their own, even when they list no tax or land in a closed period.
- Create a customer credit by uploading its PDF.
- Connect Lloyds and Bank of America directly for automated bank feeds.
- Attach files up to 100 MB, zip files included.
That's Flash #16. For questions, ask the assistant or raise a ticket with our support team.
