- Tone is appropriate for this customer and stage.
- The recipient is the right contact.
- Attached invoice PDFs are the correct documents.

How do I send to a different contact than the default?
How do I send to a different contact than the default?
Automated outreach goes to the primary contact on file. You can:
- Override the recipient in the draft before sending.
- Add new contacts on the customer’s profile and set a different one as primary.
- Use a placeholder name + general inbox email if no specific person is on file.
Note
Contact changes made in Stuut do not flow back to your ERP — update both systems if you need consistency.
How do email templates and dynamic fields work?
How do email templates and dynamic fields work?
Every Stuut email is based on a template tied to a workflow stage. Templates mix fixed copy with dynamic fields like
{{customer_name}}, {{invoice_amount}}, {{due_date}}, and {{portal_url}}. When the email is generated, those placeholders are replaced with real customer data pulled from your ERP. Admins manage templates in the Control Center.
