How do I send from my own email?

In Settings → Invoices & quotes → How you send → Emails from, choose Your email app. Your client gets it from your address, it’s in your Sent folder, and replies come to you.

What it opens

On a computer

Gmail or Outlook in a new tab, or your computer’s email app: whatever it opens for an email link, often Outlook. Choose it on the website, under Emails from.

On your phone

Gmail, Outlook or your phone’s email app (Phone’s own). Choose it in the app’s How you send → Emails from, or on the website.

The line under Send says what will open, and whether the PDF goes with it.

The PDF

From the app the PDF goes attached, with the link: in any email app on Android, and in Mail on iPhone (Gmail and Outlook there send the link). From the website your client gets the link, where they can download the PDF; to attach it yourself, choose Download the PDF instead. Connected your Gmail? It sends with the PDF attached from the website too.

Your Gmail

Connect your Gmail on tcginvoice.com, under How you send → Emails from: then your emails go straight from it, with the PDF, from the website and the app. To stop, choose Disconnect under Your Gmail, in the app or on the website: Google takes back its permission. Choosing TCG Invoice instead keeps Gmail connected for later.

Reaching the inbox

Gmail and Outlook usually reach your client’s inbox more reliably than a mailbox from a small web host, which inboxes trust less. If a client finds your emails in junk, send from TCG Invoice instead: it comes under your business name with the PDF, and replies still go to your business email.
