E-mail | Using Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook to Send Invoices, Reports, & Reminder Letters

Sharing documents like invoices and reports with stakeholders in a timely manner is an important aspect of any business. You might have to share the invoice with your parties or any financial report with stakeholders anytime they need. Using the E-mail feature in TallyPrime, you can quickly send your invoices and reports in different file formats, such as PDF, XML, and so on, to any E-mail address, in no time. To send an E-mail from TallyPrime, all you need is an Internet connection, a valid source E-mail address, which can be your company E-mail, and the E-mail address of the recipients.

Say, while concluding an interstate sale, you have to share an invoice with a party, or you need to E-mail a report when a stakeholder is at a client’s place for a business discussion. Similarly, you might have to send a copy of the invoice to the buyer and consignee for delivery of the goods or send reminder letters to your parties for clearing the payment dues. TallyPrime supports all such requirements and thereby saves your time and makes business interactions much more convenient.

Send invoices and reports Instantly: In TallyPrime, you can record an invoice and send to one or more E-mail addresses at the same time. Apart from that, you can also send invoices with payment links to ensure a seamless and faster transaction that can save your and your stakeholders’ time.

Send financial data or statistics as reports: Apart from reminder letters and confirmation of accounts, you can now share saved views and filtered reports, sales or purchase reports, Dashboard tiles, and many more from TallyPrime with chartered accountant, consultant, colleagues, or any other stakeholders. Using the E-mail feature, you can not only directly send a report, but also drill-down from the report, for example Day Book, to open a voucher and E-mail the voucher to one or more parties.

Configure your E-mail address: With TallyPrime by your side, you just need to configure your E-mail addresses and you will not have to type either your or the recipient’s E-mail addresses every time you share a business document.
