About Jobman's Email Client
Jobman software offers a built-in email client, so that you can send emails and attachments and respond to your customers directly from your Jobman app!
All staff with the appropriate roles and permissions can view and send emails in Contacts, Leads, and Jobs. This means that relevant information is centralised and accessible to anyone who needs it, rather than being confined to an email chain in one user's account.
Attach files to emails directly from your organisation's cloud file storage, or upload as required.

Sending Emails to a Specific Contact or Person
- When you are composing an email in Jobman for a specific contact person/member, Jobman will attempt to fill the name in for you. However, in some cases the name can't be determined, which means this field will be blank in the final email.
- In our default templates, we add this variable using this syntax: "{{ name | default: contact.name }}", which inserts the contact name if the person's name cannot be determined.
- The "name" variable will not be populated until you have selected a recipient for the email.
- Please note that the name only gets filled in if you have not made any changes to the email content or if the email has been saved as a draft. If, for example, you select "John" as the recipient, then write the email, then change the recipient to "Jane", the name will not change from John to Jane.
Emailing Quotes, Purchase Orders and Invoices
No need to download quotes, invoices or purchase orders as PDFs and then send. You can send these directly to clients from inside Jobman!
Simply click into the quote, invoice or purchase order (note that the status may affect whether it can be emailed) and click Email:

Please note: Email notifications in Jobman will only be received by users who are members of a lead/job. For example, if you send an email from a lead or job that you are not a member of, you will not be notified when the client replies.
