Automatically attaching Word/PDF document templates will allow your users to quickly and easily send important documents to your prospects and customers. A great example of where this functionality can be beneficial is when users need to send a quotation to a customer. Users can select your email cover for quote attachments and will find their email populated and the quotation automatically attached, issuing the Quote in seconds!
