Emails overview

Only users with the Administrator role can update the content of an email.

The emails overview can be found in Settings > Profile > Emails. You can find the following information here:

  • A list of all of the emails templates that can be sent to customers (left side of the screen)
  • Emails that are disabled (1)
  • The content of the email (right side of the screen)
  • The languages in which the email is available (2)
    • When the content of the email was edited a pencil icon is displayed on the language
  • To edit the content of an email, select the email you want to adapt and click on Edit(3).
    • Each language can be personalised individually
  • To test your email, click Test (4). This will send a test email to the email address associated with the user account you are currently logged in with.
  • To disabled a specific email, click on Disable (5)

Updating the content of an email

After you've clicked Edit, the Modify email screen is opened. By default, the mail content will be displayed in the language you are currently working in. To view the mail content in another language, click on the corresponding flag. The content for each language can be personalised.

The Subject field is empty by default. This means that the standard subject title will be used. If you want to use your own subject, simply enter it here. In your invite and mandate create emails, you can also use an already defined attribute as a variable in the subject. To do so, look up the attribute in the Attributes tab of your profile and use the attribute name. For example, if you attribute is called 'clientnumber', it should be entered as {{clientnumber}} in the subject of your mail.

The Body can be adapted to your liking. By default it is in markdown format. The variables that you can use in the email are displayed when you click Show variables below the email body. For more explanation about the use of variables, see article: 'Use of variables in emails'
There are a few special options for emails:

  • To use the "€" sign, please encode the following: €.
  • To use an email link, please encode the following: [yourtext](mailto:test@test.com).
  • To use a hyperlink, please encode the following: [yourtext](http://www.test.com).
  • To use read confirmation by the customer add the tag <img src="{{statuslink}}?pixel"> in the body.

After editing, don't forget to click Save.

We support both Markdown and HTML for the email body content. For the best display consistency, we strongly recommend writing your content entirely in one format (either Markdown or HTML).

Mails of which the content has been updated can quickly be identified by the pencil icon on the corresponding language flag.

  • Variables differ per email type; always verify support.
  • Custom attributes must be updated if renamed.
  • The standard invoice emails (with/without direct debit) contain the PDF of the invoice in attachment of the mail.
  • The Peppol invoice email does not contain the PDF of the invoice in attachment of the mail to avoid possible double bookings in your systems.
  • A dedicated Peppol credit note email template is available to notify customers that their credit note was delivered via Peppol. This is separate from the standard credit note email.
