Message templates

Create and use personalised message templates for frequently sent messages. 

How do message templates work?

When you send the same messages to your client over and over, templates can make that quick and easy. When a template is selected the subject, body and any attachments are filled in and ready to send – just make any changes you need and hit 'Send'.

YourTradebase gives you a set of pre-written message templates you can use when you’re doing regular things like sending a quote or chasing up an invoice. You can adapt them to suit your company, job or specific customer

You also able to create and save your own personalised message templates, ready to use again and again.
