Templates and merge fields

Write your emails, SMS and documents once. Merge fields fill in the job and client details at send time.

Where templates live

Templates have their own place in Settings: Quotes (terms and conditions, quote wording and layout), Invoices, Other documents, Emails, Texts and Signatures. They are used everywhere VexOp sends something: the composer, automations and your automatic customer notifications.

Merge fields

Merge fields are tokens in single curly braces that VexOp replaces with real values when a message sends. Common ones include {contact_first_name}, {client_name}, {job_number}, {job_address}, {quote_amount}, {invoice_number}, {invoice_amount}, {due_date}, {booking_date}, {booking_time} and {company_name}.

When composing, the picker inserts tokens for you, and the live preview shows the message with real values filled in before you send. If a token would be blank, VexOp warns you rather than sending a half-finished message.

AI writing help

Templates include AI assistance to generate a first draft or improve wording you have written. Review before saving, it is your voice the customer hears.

SMS length

SMS templates support a shorter set of tokens and should aim for one 160 character segment. Longer messages still send but cost more segments.
