User guide: Test Sales Quote email + document attachment
This guide explains how an admin can test the Sales Quote email to confirm the Sales Quote document attaches correctly and contains accurate data.
Purpose
To verify that a Sales Quote booking triggers a Sales Quote email, that the Sales Quote document is attached to that email, and that all key data fields in the document populate correctly.
Prerequisites
-
A valid test customer email inbox or access to the in-app messaging queue to review outbound messages.
-
Sales Quote email template configured and enabled in the system.
-
Sales Quote document template configured to generate as a file attachment (for example, PDF).
Method A: Create Sales Quote booking via website
-
Log in to the test website environment using a test user account.
-
Navigate to the Sales Quote or booking flow on the website.
-
Create a new Sales Quote booking using test customer details, including a test email address that you can access.
-
Submit the Sales Quote booking and confirm that the booking is successfully created in the system.
Method B: Create Sales Quote booking via back office
-
Log in to the back office as an admin.
-
Navigate to the booking creation screen.
-
Create a new Sales Quote booking, entering the same type of test data used for website tests, including an accessible test customer email address.
-
Save the Sales Quote booking and confirm that the booking status indicates it was created successfully.
Option: Test both website and back office flows
To fully validate behaviour, repeat the test in both channels:
-
Follow Method A to create and submit a Sales Quote via the website.
-
Follow Method B to create and submit a Sales Quote via the back office.
Confirm that each method independently triggers the Sales Quote email and attachment as expected.
Confirm Sales Quote email and document attachment is correct
-
In the Sales Quote email, review the email populated and locate the attachment section and confirm that a Sales Quote document is attached.
-
Verify the file name follows the expected naming convention, for example, including the quote number or customer name where configured.
-
Confirm that the file format matches your configuration, such as a PDF document.
