Lest auld invoices be forgot

Posted on 22 December 2011 by Comments (7)

It's been a busy year here at FreeAgent towers, and there's just time for one more release before we bid a fond farewell to 2011. And it's a goodie.

Invoice email history

You can now view the email history for each invoice, so you can see what emails (including reminders and thank yous) have been sent.

Invoice email history

By utilising magic-pixie-dust technology, we're also able to tell you if the emails were received by the client, which may prove useful. Not that your clients would ever deny receiving invoices, of course.

See the Knowledge Base for full details.

Other treats

  • We've tweaked the way the estimate filters work on the main estimates table so 'invoiced' and 'sent' only explicitly show estimates in those states
  • You can now add your referral link to outgoing emails with a new [referral_link] email macro, which will make get those referral discounts even easier. 
  • The Bills table can now be filtered across All time. Like, far out man. 
  • You can now send invoices and estimates in Finnish and Estonian

And finally

As is traditional for us now, we're donating the money we would have spent on Christmas cards to a worthy organisation instead. 

This year we're supporting Ward 79 at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, which means a lot to Kilian, one of our sales team, whose son spends a lot of time there. We're told the money will be used for toys for the children to play with. We offered them management accounting books, but kids prefer toys apparently. 

See you all in 2012, when we'll have some big things for you!

Until next year,
Roan & The Team at FreeAgent.

Over to you...

Hi Roan,

Love the email history - a very welcome addition.

Look forward to seeing the big things in 2012! Have a wonderful Christmas and best wishes to the whole team.

This is great - thanks for the Christmas treat. Any plans to add PayPal links to invoices? Then we can track the clicks and see they've had an opportunity to pay - in their inbox.
Mike, Thu December 22, 2011
Thanks everyone - this is a brill update.

Dan - you already can :-) there's a field you can insert in invoice emails which creates a PayPal payment link for you.

Invoice email history is a great addition guys. Out of interest I assume you only know it's delivered if the recipient has chosen to display images in the email?

@Mark

By Delivered we mean our email provider (SendGrid) have successfully delivered the email to the recipients provider. We don't yet support and 'Opened' status but it's something we're thinking about adding. To do this would require using images as you suggest.
