Prerequisites for sending emails​

  2. Optionally, add your organization’s logo in Settings > Organization;
  3. Turn on the relevant email scenarios; and
  4. Define the customer’s email address during customer creation/edition.

Email scenarios​

Lago sends emails to your customers for two scenarios: when an invoice is created (i.e. subscription invoices, one-off invoices, invoices related to credit purchases), and when a credit note is issued for a customer.

By default, both scenarios are switched off. You can turn on/off these scenarios by:

  1. Going to Settings;
  2. Selecting Emails;
  3. Toggling each scenario on/off; or
  4. Clicking on a scenario to view the corresponding email; and
  5. Using the toggle in the upper-right corner to switch on/off the scenario.

Email locale​

The email will be sent to customers based on the organization or customer’s document locale. This means that the email will have the same locale as the invoice sent.

Email sending address​

For the cloud version, Lago uses no-reply@getlago.com as the sending email address. Any responses from your customers will be directed to the email address you have established for your organization in the organization settings.
