Changing the wording of your emails and texts

Edit the email and text message your clients get in Settings. Quote wording is on the Quotes tab, invoice wording on the Invoicing tab. Placeholders like {client_name} fill in for each client.

Contents

Quote wording is in Settings > Quotes, invoice wording in Settings > Invoicing. Each has an email and a text message.

Where: Settings → Quotes and Settings → Invoicing

Open the Quotes or Invoicing tab.
Find Quote Email Template or Invoice Email Template and edit the Email Body.
Edit Quote Text Message or Invoice Text Message for texts.
Changes save by themselves. Reset to default brings back the original.

Watch out: keep the placeholders in curly brackets exactly as written. A misspelt one is sent as typed.

Placeholders

Placeholder	Becomes	Works in
`{client_name}`	The client's name	All
`{business_name}`	Your business name	All
`{quote_number}`	The quote number	Quote email and text
`{invoice_number}`	The invoice number	Invoice email and text
`{description}`	The quote description	Quote email
`{link}`	The link to the online quote or invoice	Texts (added at the end if you leave it out)

What you can't change

The email always carries the link to the online quote or invoice and the PDF. Bank account numbers are never put in the email body, only in the PDF and online invoice, so mail filters don't block it.

Texts come from your phone

Send > SMS opens your phone's messages app with the text filled in. You press send there, so Chippie has no record of delivery.

Other wording

"Created with Chippie" on quote emails: hide it on the Quotes tab (paid plans).
Payment reminders: each step has its own subject and message, in the Payment reminders card on the Invoicing tab. See Payment reminders.
Invoice heading and footer: Payment Instructions Header and Invoice Footer Text on the Invoicing tab.
