Emailing documents

Send generated documents to customers with branded email templates.

2 min readLast updated 13 Apr 2026

Most documents are emailed to the customer directly from the platform. The email is branded, logged, and tracked.

Triggering an email

Three ways:

  1. From the source record — e.g. on a quote, Send to customer → attaches the current quotation PDF and opens the email modal.
  2. From the document row in Documents Center — Send via email.
  3. Automated — some flows (invoice issued, booking confirmed) auto-email if the tenant has opted in, per integration settings.

The email modal

  • To / Cc / Bcc — pre-filled from the customer's primary contact + billing contacts. Editable.
  • Subject — templated (e.g. Quotation {{quote.number}} from {{tenant.name}}), editable.
  • Body — rich text; the tenant's default body for this doc type, editable per-send.
  • Attachments — the generated document is attached by default. Add more via the attachments picker.
  • Reply-to — your user's email, so customer replies land in your inbox.

Email templates

Default subject + body per doc type live at /app/admin/email-templates. Requires TENANT_ADMIN. Supports the same merge variables as the PDF template — {{customer.name}}, {{quote.number}}, etc.

Delivery & tracking

  • Emails are sent via the tenant's configured SMTP / provider (SES, SendGrid, SMTP relay).
  • Sent status appears on the document row within seconds.
  • Bounce / failure is surfaced as a banner on the source record; the document row shows a red icon.
  • Open / click tracking is optional per tenant (off by default for privacy).

Customer reply

Replies go to the sender (reply-to = the user). The platform does not ingest replies automatically today — log them in the CRM manually, or use customer portal messaging instead.

Bulk send

Statements of Account can be bulk-emailed from /app/finance/statements → Send all. Each customer gets their own statement. See finance / statements.
