Personalised emails and templates

Over at SnapBill we’re all working day and night to ensure the system we deliver on our launch day (real soon now!) is everything you might expect and more.

One of the new features we have been working on is the ability for you to send custom welcome emails to your clients, with details for them to login to our system.  We tried our best to write a welcome email that everyone would like… but unfortunately each company has their own style and the one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t apply here.

For this reason we’ve developed our own template system, and we’ve posted a detailed explanation over on our developer blog. If you’re interested follow the link below to learn more about how our template system works, and the awesome things you can do with it!

Visit our Developer Blog for a detailed explanation of the new template system.
