Updated over 10 months ago

System Templates contain the email and SMS content for messages which are sent to your clients.

They can be accessed in Settings > Templates.


Types of Templates

Each of the templates correspond with the type of communication which can be sent to your client.

Invoice

  • Invoice Notification: Sent to the client when an invoice is unpaid

  • Invoice Receipt Notification: Sent when an invoice has been partially or fully paid

  • Outstanding Invoice Notification: Sent when an invoice payment reminder is actioned and the invoice due date has not passed

  • Overdue Invoice Notification: Sent to the client when the invoice due date has passed and the invoice is still unpaid

Quotation

  • Quotation Notification: Sent to the client when a quotation is published

Report

  • Report Notification: Sent to the client when a report is published

Appointment

Each appointment notification corresponds with the status of the appointment

  • Appointment Unscheduled Notification

  • Appointment Recommendation Notification (Unconfirmed)

  • Appointment Scheduled Notification

  • Appointment Departed Notification

  • Appointment In Progress Notification

  • Appointment Complete Notification

  • Appointment Cancelled Notification

Editing a template

When you edit a template, you can modify the following fields:

  • Subject line displayed on the sent email

  • Email contents

  • SMS contents

These fields can contain variables for binding dynamic content onto your template.

For example, if I add the "Client Name" variable, the client's name will be printed onto the message.

Prefixed Variables

Variables which contain the "(Prefixed)" label means that the variable will render in a friendly way as part of a sentence only if a value for the variable exists.

For example, the "Appointment Address (prefixed)" variable will render as
" at [AppointmentAddress]" so that you can create sentences such as
"The appointment has been scheduled for [AppointmentDate] at [AppointmentAddress]".

if an address has not been specified for that specific appointment, the sentence will render as
"The appointment has been scheduled for [AppointmentDate]".

Collecting Client Reviews

Each template can also choose to display your "Client Review" prompt within the message.

You can set up your review prompt in Settings > Style & Branding > Client Reviews.

Previewing a Template

The "Preview" box within the editor allows you to see how your email or SMS will be presented to your clients.
