Emailing Invoices to Clients

You can email Invoices to clients directly from inside Planning Pod to save time and streamline how you manage Invoices. In addition, if you have created an account with one of our preferred credit card processors, you can add a "Pay Now" button to the email so your customers can pay via credit card ASAP.

You have the option to choose a connected email address or the @planningpod.com address to send invoices from this tool. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you choose your personal/business email address to send Invoices you will not be able to track delivery, opens or clicks via the email activity log. If you need this functionality please use the default @planningpod.com email address.

You also have the opportunity to customize the boilerplate email subject line and body text that is included in these emails; keep the default message assigned in your account settings; or personalize each email before it is sent out to the individual client.

To Email an Invoice:

1. Use one of these three ways to access the Invoices tool:
• Click on the "Invoices" tool button on the Event Dashboard.
• Use the Switch Event tool to select the appropriate Event and the "Invoices" tool.
• Click on "Invoices" in the main navigation bar.
2. Find the Invoice that you wish to send and click on it.
3. Click on the "Email" button at the top.
4. Optional: If you want your customer to pay the Invoice by credit card, click on the "Add 'Pay Now' Button to This Email?" dropdown and select your payment processor. When your customer clicks on this button in the email, it will open up a new browser tab and present them with an online credit card payment form.
5. In the "From (Sender)" field, if you want to change the sender, click in this field and select from the available options.
6. Choose the recipients in the "To (Recipients)" field. The client is already prefilled in this field, but you can add additional recipients by clicking into the field and selecting more Contacts.
7. Customize the subject line and body text and click "Send Now" when you are ready to send.
8. You can view a record of sent emails for this Invoice by clicking on the "Activity Log" link in the top right corner.
