Emailing an invoice

Is there a way to email an invoice from QF without setting up a client logon, there does not seem to be an e-mail address field in the client record either. I don’t want to have loads of potential ways into my QF and absolutely no need for my clients to access their records with me. Currently I am copying the e-mail address from my old accounts system and sending it as a PDF, this is not what I want to be doing.

Hello @hifly

You can add contacts to the client record then email invoices with attached PDF.

Hi Steve,
As far as i can see the client record does not contain a field for an e-mail address, where does the e-mail address come from?

I would prefer QF to make a pdf, open my e-mail client, attach the clients e-mail address and pdf and i can then type some text and send it. is this possible?

Hello @hifly

It is listed under contact details on the client record

Add a contact then modify the client record as shown below

When you go to send the invoice you have an option to send as PDF

I have found that but i don’t want to create client logon’s which it is forcing me to do.

Hello @hifly

A login is always created for a client, if you don’t want them having access do the below.

  • Untick “Automatically create a login”
  • Enter a password and confirm
  • Leave Email login details to the client unticked

that is still creating a client login point it is just not letting them know it is there, seems very odd to be forced to make a login point that’s not going to be used just so i can add an e-mail to a client record

Hello @hifly

QuickFile is designed around the login process for clients rather than sending PDF’s

Please see below

so basically there is no way to record a clients e-mail address without creating a client login, this was the 1st line of my question, shame it has taken email tennis to get the simple answer of “no”.

Hello @hifly

Sorry, No

The email login is used as this keeps a record of when the invoice has been viewed, with PDF’s you can not track this.
