Customizing the 'from' email address when sending documents

How to customize the 'from' email address when sending documents.

You can customize the “from” email address used when sending documents (such as proposals, contracts, invoices, and forms) by connecting your Gmail account.

This ensures that:

  • Emails are sent from your business email address

  • Clients can reply directly to your inbox

  • Communication appears consistent and professional

Requirements

Before customizing your sender email, ensure the following:

  • You are using the Gmail integration

  • Your Gmail account is either:

    • Connected to your domain provider, or

    • A dedicated business Gmail account

This feature is only available through Gmail integration:

  1. Navigate to Integrations.

  2. Select Gmail from the list of available apps

  3. Sign in to your Gmail account.

  4. Grant the required permissions.


Your Gmail account becomes the default “from” email address for all supported outgoing documents.

How the “From” email works

Once your Gmail account is connected:

  • All emails sent through documents will use your connected Gmail address as the sender.

  • This applies to:

    • Invoices

    • Proposals

    • Contracts

    • Forms


Client reply behavior

  • Clients can reply directly to these emails.

  • Replies will be delivered to your connected Gmail inbox.

Important Limitations

Project Emails Use a Different Sender

  • Emails sent directly from projects do not use your Gmail address.

  • These emails use a system-generated sender to:

    • Maintain a unique project identifier

    • Ensure replies are properly logged within the project thread

Additional email customization options

Beyond changing the sender email, you can also customize the appearance of your emails.

Branding Options

From Branding Settings, you can:

  • Update the email logo

  • Customize brand colors for:

    • Links

    • Buttons

These changes help maintain a consistent brand experience across all client communications.


Send via Direct Link

If you prefer not to use Gmail integration:

  • You can send documents by copying the document URL

  • Paste and send the link using your own email provider
