Customize Email Templates

Create reusable email templates for sending purchase orders, use them in the send dialog, and check deliverability when a vendor misses an email.

At a glance

Email templates save you rewriting the same message every time you issue a purchase order to a vendor.

Create templates in Settings > Emails, then pick one when you send a purchase order. The Deliverability tab shows addresses Finofo has stopped sending to.

How It Works

A template holds a name, a subject, an optional reply-to address and a message body. Subjects and bodies can include variables such as the PO number and your organization name, which are filled in when the email is sent. The purchase order PDF is attached automatically.

Deliverability lists addresses Finofo stopped sending to after bounces or spam complaints, with their Status, Reason, Last event and Date.

Use a Template When Sending a PO

1. Open the purchase order and click Send under Issue PO.

2. In the Send purchase order dialog, choose a Template. Manage opens your templates in a new browser tab.

3. Enter or select the vendor address in To, then check Subject and the message.

Emails can take a few minutes to send. After sending, the vendor, PO date and customer details can no longer be edited.

Tips

  • If a vendor says they never received a purchase order, check Deliverability first.
  • Keep one template per purpose, for example standard orders and urgent orders, with clear names.
