From the Invoices index page, you can filter invoices using 'Add Filter' if you want to narrow down the search to specific criteria (Example: unpaid invoices in ABC plan). You can also save the filter for future purposes. Read Advanced Filter Options to know about creating multiple filters.
Once the filter is selected, click on More Actions > Email customers. This will send emails to the associated customers.
Example: First you can filter invoices by their status as 'unpaid' + Plan contains 'ABC' and apply filter. The relevant list of invoices will be seen on the page. Now click on 'Email' to send an email to all those customers associated with the list of invoices.
Note
On the recent UI enhancement you On the recent UI enhancement you can now scroll the index pages - Customers, Subscriptions, Invoices, and Credit Notes vertically. Earlier, the pages will be paginated which may prolong your search however with the new enhancement as you scroll down the list it will load all other data in a single page as highlighted below on the screenshot. Refer to this link for more information.
These email notifications can be configured under Configure Chargebee > Email notifications > Manual Emails. Select the appropriate email that contains the invoice and click on 'Proceed'
Please note that all invoices that appear on your invoices page post applying filters will be exported into one PDF file by doing this. We currently do not have an option to export all invoices into a PDF file per invoice.
