Quickbooks forms

Hello everyone.  We are updating our Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise Solutions 23.0 so we can email invoices to our customers.  

Question:  the email address for the "sent" emails has the wrong person's name in it.  How do I update this (please give detailed instructions, thanks!!)

Question:  We only want to email invoices and statements automatically.  Right now QB is creating an email for everything, sales orders, estimates, etc.  Is there a way to limit which documents go to the automated email system?  Again, if yes, details please.

Thanks everyone for your help and Happy Holidays!!

Hello there, nomoreptteachmt. I'd be happy to assist you in correcting your email address and provide you with more information regarding the automated sending of emails. 

 

To begin with, let's check if the email address in your company settings is correct: Once done, you can check if the email is connected when sending forms. Here are the steps to do that: 

 

  1. Go to Company, then select My Company.
  2. Click the Edit icon and click the E-mail column.
  3. Type in the correct email address. 

 

Once done, you can check if the email is connected when sending forms. Here are the steps to do that:

 

  1. Go to Edit, then select Preferences.
  2. Click Send Forms and go to My Preferences.
  3. Tick whether you are using Web Mail or QuickBooks E-mail.
  4. Check if the email is correct; if not, then edit the email in the Email Id section.
  5. Once done, hit OK

 

On the other hand, I recommend reviewing your email provider about the automated sending of forms. Currently, automatically sending forms via email is not available in QuickBooks Desktop. You'll need to send it manually. 

 

To learn more about how emailing sales forms works in QuickBooks Desktop, check out this article: Email invoices and statements

 

In addition to creating invoices, you can generate sales receipts when a customer visits your company's location to make a payment in person. This is a quick and easy way to record the transaction and provide your customer with proof of purchase.

This is helpful for updating the email address for the Quickbooks automated emails.  The other part of my question is can I limit which forms QB generates through the automated email process?   We only want to send invoices automatically if possible.  Right now every document, sales orders, receipts, statements, etc all create an email copy.  We can delete the ones we choose not to send, but if there is a way do issue emails for invoices only we would prefer thatl.

Thanks!!

Hi QB community,

 

We updated to QBE 24, and the Quickbooks email option in Edit --> send forms is not available any more. We have only the option of Webmail. Does someone know how to have it back?

 

Thank you
