Join nowI must be dumb as a box of rocks, because I've spent the last hour trying to find out where to modify the email templates in the Mac version of QB 2019. Everything that I found either directs me to print templates, which I already know how to use and modify, or references "Select the Send forms menu and then the Company Preferences tab." I cannot locate either this menu nor this tab.
All I really want to know is: What are the names of the fields that I can use? I see that <<num>> is invoice number and <<contact>> is the name of the person I've set up in the customer file. I recognize these as merge fields. What other fields can I use? Is there a list available somewhere online that I could not locate in my wasted hour?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there, @TijerasGirl.
QuickBooks uses email tokens to insert individualized information for you as you email your forms. The fields can be recognized by the guillemet characters (« ») that surround them.
For example, the email token «contact» represents the full name of each customer. So when you email a form that includes “Dear «contact»,” QuickBooks replaces «contact» with the name of your customer. This allows you to email forms to multiple customers at once in a more efficient manner, since you don’t need to enter each individual name.
Here’s the full list of email tokens and what they represent:

It's great to know how to automate the invoice number & contact etc., but where on earth do we go to create an email template to go along with the invoice?
I just switched from pc to mac & this is CRAZY that I can't find where to create and store the email templates that go with each invoice type, like we can on the pc version.
Please direct me to this as soon as possible.
I got you covered, @kikajukk.
You'll want to click the email icon from the top part of your invoice to create and edit the email template. Let me guide you how.
