    Customise your reminder emails

    Tailor your reminder emails with tags.

    Tags retrieve information from each invoice, so you can create a general message that will be populated with specific information for each customer. Available tags are listed on the right of the New reminder window.

    So in our example, the tags [TRADING_NAME] and [CUSTOMER_NAME] appear in square brackets when setting up the reminder. But these will show your company's name and the customer's name in reminder email.

    Image Added

    This means each customer will receive an email with information relevant to them.

    All you need to do is write your email subject and message, click where you want a tag to appear, then click a tag to add it. When you're done, don't forget to click Save.
