Email attachments

Send the certificate with the invoice email

An EICR for the landlord, a Gas Safe certificate for the homeowner, the RAMS a main contractor wants before you go near the site. Add your standing files once and every invoice email carries them, next to the invoice PDF. On a single job you can attach the certificate that job produced, or leave a file out, and quotes carry a set of their own.

30 days of everything, free. No card needed.

Send
The invoice PDF, the certificate for that job, and the one the agent keeps on file, in one email.
How it works

Set your paperwork once, send it every time

1

Add your standing files

In your company’s Invoices and quotes settings, add the files every invoice email should carry: your public liability certificate, your RAMS, your terms of business.

2

They go with every send

Each invoice email arrives carrying the invoice PDF and those files, whether you send it from the van or a recurring invoice sends it for you.

3

Add the one for this job

On an invoice’s Email tab, attach the certificate this job produced, the EICR or the commissioning sheet, or leave a standing file out. That invoice alone changes; your defaults don’t.

4

Quotes carry their own set

Quote emails have a separate list, so the method statement a main contractor wants up front rides your quotes while your terms stay with invoices.

The details

The invoice and the paperwork, in one email

An invoice sits unpaid when something is missing from it. The letting agent wants the EICR before they pay for the EICR. The main contractor’s office won’t put your invoice through until your public liability certificate is on their file. Attachments put the paperwork in the same email as the invoice, so nothing has to follow in a second message and nobody asks you for it twice.

The files that go with a job

Gas Safe and EICR certificates, an MCS certificate, RAMS and method statements, a manufacturer’s warranty, a materials list as a spreadsheet. Photos and video straight off a phone, HEIC included, and a zip of the lot. Photos on a job stay with the job and don’t print on the invoice, so the before and after you want the client to see goes this way. Executables and script-carrying files such as HTML or SVG are refused, and mail providers block most of them anyway. Every upload is verified by its contents, not just its name, so a mislabelled file can’t sneak through.

Sized for real inboxes

One email carries up to 10 MB of attachments across up to 10 files, not counting the invoice PDF, a size that arrives safely at every mainstream inbox. The running total is shown as you add them, and if a video of the finished run won’t fit, Sendinvo tells you how much room is left rather than letting the send fail later.

One job, one extra file

First fix and second fix on the same house need different paperwork. On an invoice’s Email tab, add a file for that invoice alone, or take one of your standing files off it, then restore it there whenever you want. Your standing set doesn’t move, so the next invoice still goes out complete.

The invoice document stays clean

Files ride the email, not the invoice. The PDF the client files stays a formal invoice, with the CIS deduction and the reverse-charge wording on it where they apply, and the certificate sits next to it in the same message under its own name.

Questions

Good to know

What can I attach?

Certificates and paperwork as PDF, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, photos straight off a phone with HEIC included, video, CSVs, plain text, and zips. Executables and script-carrying files such as HTML or SVG are refused, and mail providers block most of them anyway. Every upload is checked by its contents, not just its name.

How much can one email carry?

10 MB across up to 10 files, not counting the invoice PDF. The running total is shown as you add them, and if one won’t fit you’re told how much room is left.

Do the files show on the invoice document?

No. They ride the email next to the invoice PDF, so the document itself stays a clean invoice. Everything lands in one message: the invoice, and the certificate that backs it up.

Can quotes carry different files from invoices?

Yes. Quotes have their own set, so your method statement and public liability certificate go out with every quote while your terms go out with invoices. Neither list leaks into the other.

Do recurring invoices include my attachments?

Yes. A recurring invoice attaches your standing invoice files to every invoice it sends, the same as one you send by hand. A letting agent’s yearly EICR round goes out with your public liability certificate attached, without you adding it to each one.

Can I leave a file off one invoice?

Yes. On that invoice’s Email tab, remove any of your standing files for that invoice alone, then restore them there any time. Your standing set is untouched.

The invoice and the certificate, in one email.

Add the files your clients always ask for once, and every invoice email goes out carrying them.
