gmail-integration
We're excited to bring you Google email integration 🎉 Now, you can seamlessly connect your Google email account and ensure all documents sent through Indy reflect your brand and leverage the reputation of your Google email domain for better deliverability.
You can link your Google email account from the
send pages
of your invoices, contracts, and proposals:
gmail-send-pages
Or access the integration from your
Account Settings -> Branding & Style
(we still have some house cleaning to do with the Integrations page🧹):
gmail-account-settings
You now have a paper trail of your sent documents, providing insights into your business interactions. Keep track of when your documents were sent, when your clients opened your documents sent via Indy's built-in email service, stay informed about invoice payments, track contract signings, and monitor proposal approvals.
When viewing your Proposals, Contracts, and Invoices, you'll find a new "Activity" tab located on the right sidebar:
activity-log-invoice-details
You can also get an overview inside your project dashboards:

They've been known as dynamic fields, tokenized fields, merge fields – we call them Smart Fields.
Wave goodbye to static, one-size-fits-all messages. Now, you can sprinkle a little magic into your email templates and watch them come to life with dynamic content.

    Addressed an issue that prevented your business address from properly rendering in sent emails.
A big shoutout to our amazing community members for your eagle-eyed bug spotting! We've rolled up our sleeves and got to work to mae sure Indy is running smoother than ever. Here's what's new:
  • Invoices:
    Resolved an issue causing the app to crash if an elusive "." found its way into the discount field. No more crashes—smooth sailing with your invoicing!
  • Proposals:
    Fixed multiple bugs impacting the generation of shareable links when resending a proposal. Also, proposals are now seamlessly linking to projects again.
  • Forms:
    Addressed an issue where header images were misbehaving, not displaying in the correct aspect ratio, and getting cropped. Now, they're picture-perfect.
  • White-labeling:
    A rogue Indy branding bar that made its way into the contracts editor has been removed.
  • People and Files:
    Fixed a bug that prevented saving contacts or applying changes to files when list views were filtered and sorted.
Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and a fantastic New Year!
Now you can save your brilliantly crafted proposals as templates for future use.
Say goodbye to the proposal hustle and hello to streamlined workflows, turbocharged efficiency, and greater consistency.
Just click the 3-dot button in the editor:
proposals-save-and-manage-templates-options
Whenever you need to create a proposal, your saved templates will be at your beck and call in the template selector:
proposals-save-and-manage-templates-selector
Let the template party begin!🎉
We're excited to bring you Subscription Packages in Proposals! The old "Estimate" content block has gotten a shiny new makeover and is now called "Services". After adding the Service block to your proposal, simply click "Add a package" to include more options.
proposals-service-packages-user
Your clients can now easily select from the available packages, and the choice will seamlessly integrate into your generated invoices if automation is set up. Alternatively, you can create an invoice directly from the proposal with the chosen package.
proposals-service-packages-client
Great news — we've just launched some improvements that will make your and your client's experience run even more smoothly:
  • From now on, when you download draft invoices, the status will no longer automatically change to "sent." As the name suggests, draft invoices are still in progress so they won't display any payment information or links when exported. To share the final invoice, click the ‘Review & send’ step to see the available options.
  • Your clients can now easily switch between multiple projects on their mobile devices.
