Hi QuickBooks,

In a help conversation the other day your colleague said it •was• possible to amend the text in the cover email for invoices and then save it for future use. It appears he was mistaken.

I find it incredibly frustrating that the auto text that appears in the draft cover email is so informal – I would never start an email to a client with "Hey" and worry that one day I'll forget to amend it. Even if there isn't the facility to save my own standard cover email, it would be great if you could fix the template wording to be more professional.

Hello CarolineH, thanks for posting on this thread, so in quickbooks self employed if you click on invoices> click on create new invoice> on the left handside you will see a box that says messages if you put the message you want it to say in there and then you'll see a small box to tick underneath the message box at the bottom that says save as default message for future invoices this should resolve your issue your having.
