When you email an invoice to a patient or organisation, you can use templates to customise the email content to suit your practice. This also enables you to include personalised information that is relevant to the recipient, such as their name and appointment details.
There are 2 kinds of email templates you can use when sending invoices:
-
Default invoice email template: This is the base template for all invoice emails, set in Settings > Reminders. It is already set up for you when you sign up to Halaxy, but you can customise it anytime. There is a default template for patients and one for organisations. Halaxy uses the default invoice email templates for invoice automation (if enabled), which automatically emails paid invoices after full payment.
-
Email communication template: This is a separate template you can create if you want emails that send unpaid invoices to have different content, such as including a due date and a secure payment link. This is set in Settings > General > Communication Templates.
If you are manually emailing an invoice, Halaxy uses the default template in the draft, but you can opt to use the email communication template if you want to use that instead.
Tip
You can tailor the subject and content of these templates and personalise them for each patient or organisation automatically using dynamic terms, so your invoices always contain the relevant information for the recipient.
