To use Digital Quotes, the [View Quote] portal button needs to be inserted into the Quote Email text to give the Customer access to the electronic Quote portal.

Inserting the [View Quote] is done at the Quote Email Template(s).

When using Digital Quotes, the sent email, along with the Quote PDF Attachment also displays the [View Quote ] portal button that the Customer can click on to view an electronic version of the Quote.

From the electronic version of the Quote, the Customer can Accept the Quote which then changes the Quote’s Stage on Katipolt Desktop to “Accepted”

To use Digital Quotes and Digital Quote Acceptance, you need:

  • The [View Quote] button on your Quote/Estimate/Variation email Template(s)

  • The Acceptance Page of a Quote Toggled “On”

  • The “Valid To” Date set up for Quotes

To Add the [View Quote] portal button to Quote emails
