How to Send a Quote

In this article

Send your customer an email with the quote details, a PDF copy and a link to the Customer Portal. The portal link allows your customer to view their quotations directly without creating an account first.

In Sales > Quotes, open the quote you want to send. If the preview drawer opens, click View Quote to view the full details. If the quote shows a draft status, click Publish at the top right before sending; quotes in Pending status are already published.

Send Quote Details sends an informational copy. To collect a formal customer signature and deposit, use the Quote Approval Workflow.

Check the email recipients

The email goes to the contacts selected under Email Recipients, which are drawn from the customer's record. The primary contact is selected by default. If they are already correct, continue to Send the quote details.

  1. Click the pencil beside Email Recipients.

    Edit the quote's email recipients

  2. Select the contacts who should receive the quote. Clear a checkbox to leave that contact out. At least one selected contact needs a valid email address.

Your customer receives an email with the quote reference, an attached PDF copy and a link to view the quote in the Customer Portal. From the portal, they can open the quote, approve it and make a payment if online payments are enabled. The email wording comes from your message template, which you can customize in How to Create and Use a Message Template.
