Use email templates

Email templates allow you to include standardized messages when emailing a form directly from Manager. They are available for transaction forms that typically leave the business. They are also available for forms that may be emailed internally:

  • Receipts and payments
  • Sales and purchase quotes
  • Sales and purchase orders
  • Sales and purchase invoices
  • Credit and debit notes
  • Delivery notes and goods receipts
  • Customer statements
  • Payslips

Email template location

An email template for sales quotes might include:


  • Subject should indicate the matter covered in the email. The code, {{reference}}, will insert the reference number from the specific form being sent, if one exists, such as a quote number or invoice number.
  • Body should be a standard forwarding message. You can edit this before sending the email.

Click Update to save changes to the template. The subject line will be included in the email templates list:
