Manage portal email templates

Video: Configuring Email Templates

Settings - Client Portal

CCH iFirm supplies templates for emailing inbound files, outbound files and invitations. You can edit a default email template instead of starting a new one from scratch. You can delete these templates if you do not need them. You can also set up your own email templates. You can set the default templates in the portal settings. You have the option of sending your email as HTML or plain text.

Email templates are applied when the recipient opens the attachment, NOT when it is sent.
