TEMPLATES: EMAIL, PDF, CONTRACTS, AND PROPOSALS

§ ADMIN + BILLING4 min READUPDATED 2026-08

One hub for every reusable template your company sends, and where each specialized editor lives.

Templates keep your outbound work consistent: the same email wording, the same PDF layout, the same contract language every time. The Admin Console gathers them in one hub, with specialized editors for each kind.

WHERE: Masthead ⚙ gear → Admin Console → CUSTOMIZATION → Templates

The Templates screen is a unified hub across email, contract, PDF, and proposal templates. From here you can clone a template, edit it, preview it, and set it as the default for its type.

§Email templates

Every automatic email the app sends has a built-in template you can override per company. Open COMMUNICATION → Email templates and pick one to edit: the editor shows a merge-tag catalog in a sidebar so you can drop in customer, job, and company fields without guessing at their names. If an override goes wrong, REVERT restores the built-in version.

NOTE
Header and footer styling for these emails comes from COMMUNICATION → Email branding, not from the individual templates.

§PDF templates and the document header

The hub includes a PDF template editor for the paperwork the app generates. Pair it with the Document Header setting and the PDF Settings / PDF Branding / PDF Assets entries in the settings hub to control the letterhead side of things — logo placement, brand colors on paper, shared assets.

§Contract templates

Contract templates have a deeper home of their own: DOCUMENTS → Contracts hub. Its template library supports ✦ DRAFT WITH AI, a block builder for assembling contracts from reusable sections, and an upload-a-PDF builder that lets you place signature fields on an existing PDF. Individual templates can be excluded from e-sign for documents that legally cannot be signed electronically. Sending and signing are covered in the ESTIMATES + CONTRACTS category — see "Send for signature".

§Proposal templates

Proposals follow the same pattern under DOCUMENTS → Proposals hub: settings, templates with their own builder, feature flags, follow-up sequences, and win/loss analytics. Reps then start from a template with + NEW PROPOSAL on any customer — see "Proposals" in ESTIMATES + CONTRACTS.
