Estimate emails to customers show "Invoice" in the email body...

The subject line and the PDF are correct, but the rest of the email is misleading.

 

I receive a copy as my option for sending estimates and this is what I find. This has been going on for months:

When I click "View Invoice" it is as it should be.

 

This is very misleading for potential customers...

Estimate emails to customers show "Invoice" in the email body...

I appreciate you for bringing this to our attention, @weinstallwire. It's essential that your communications accurately represent what you're sending to maintain clarity with your customers. I'm here to point you in the right direction and provide an alternative to resolve it so your estimate emails use the correct terminology and details for your customers.

 

This requires further review, and our Live Support team can help. They can perform screen-sharing in a secure environment to help research the issue in real-time, ensuring the problem about estimates with invoice wording in the email body is addressed. Here's how to contact them:

 

  1. Go to the Help (?) option.
  2. Select the Search tab.
  3. Click on Contact Us.
  4. Choose Ask about something else.
  5. Pick Chat with usSchedule appointment, and Have us call you.

  1. Go to the Gear icon. Then, Accounts and settings.
  2. Select the Sales tab.
  3. Scroll down to the Online delivery section. 
  4. Choose Online invoice from the Additional email options for invoices
  5. Click on Save. Then, Done.

 

Once done, your emailed estimate will look something like this:

I had the message option set to "HTML". The "Online Invoice" option appears to be just fine for my needs. Thank you for your swift response and solution.
