Indeed, it is through them that your customers perceive your company.


Fact allows you to personalize your mails and documents so that you can adapt them to your recipients, your industry, and your brand.


To do this, go to the "Customization" section in the Settings.

From "DOCUMENTS" tab in the "Customization" section, you can choose a document template from among 7 predefined templates or create a completely customized template.

  2. Click on "Define as favorite"

The font and logo are set independently of the document template choice. In other words, once configured, there is no need to revisit them, even if the template changes.


Regarding the logo, here are the format and size to be respected:

  • Format: .png or .jpg
  • Maximum size: 100kb, maximum width: 850px, maximum height: 130px

    • Customer number,
    • Quantity column,
    • Unit column,
    • Reference column,
    • VAT column,
    • Footer notes.
  • to add the invoiced period
  • to choose a specific label (for example: "Fee Notes" instead of "Invoices")


To save, it is necessary to click on the "SAVE" button located at the bottom right of the screen.

Fact allows you to send your documents or reminders directly by email to your customers. Here you have the possibility to customize the body of the email that will be used by default when sending your emails. Note that you can modify the email before each sending in order to personalize your email on a case-by-case basis


The email address is generated by Fact. We therefore advise you to add your contact details in the body of the email so that your customer can easily contact you again.


  1. Click on “Settings”, “Customization” and then on “Mails
  2. Modify the body of the mail if necessary
  3. Click on “Save” to validate your information


The list of fields that can be used is located on the right-hand side and are classified by type of information:
  • document information,
  • grouped dunning information,
  • customer information
  • your company information


Copy the code of the field which is between double brackets, then paste it in the subject and/or in the body of the e-mail in place of the value to be integrated.


Example: ((document_type)) will be replaced by "invoice" when sending an invoice, or by "estimate" when sending an estimate, etc.
