Let's go through this update in details.

Quote Email Templates Customizations

Admins can now set custom greetings for quotation emails along with fonts and text configuration. The greetings support rich text formatting such as bold, italic, links and more.

To get started with customizations, click on the Edit button on the right. One the next screen, you can change the fonts, text justification and customize your greetings.

Customize Fonts

This setting controls how the text/font will look in your quote email content. You can choose a font from the list of widely supported families.

Text Justification

The text justification controls how the text in your itineraries and terms behaves when the paragraphs contain multiple line of text. The default behaviour is to align the text to the left. You can toggle this behaviour using the checkbox in the template editing step. A justified text will be spaced to line up its left and right edges to the left and right edges of the line box, except for the last line.

Here is how left-aligned vs justified will look like

Greetings customizations

You can provide a custom greeting message template to be used in place of default greetings for your quotation emails. The message content can be formatted using the Markdown text editor which is already using across the application. You can format text with bold, italic and insert links to your desired web pages. You can also use placeholder/template variables such as customer's name and your company name to automatically change the message based on queries.

Here is a sample content which can be further customize based on your needs.

Dear [[CUSTOMER_NAME]],
Greetings from **[[BRAND_NAME]]**!

[[BRAND_NAME]] is delighted to plan a trip for you. We are the [best company](https://example.com) to provide customised tours. Let's confirm this package and we will ensure best hospitality.

This greeting will be shared in quote email till the qutoe conversion. For conversion and after conversion updates, the existing greetings will be shared which included the Conversion and After Conversion Update labels.

Quote PDF Templates Customizations

SImilar to email, you can also customize the greetings, fonts and itinerary text alignment in Quote PDFs. The process of customization is similar to that of email.

You can click on the Edit button from right-side to customize the PDFs settings. The Font Families are different than that of email due to limited support of fonts in PDFs. The greetings can be customized as per the requirements. You can also use the placeholder variables (e.g. CUSTOMER_NAME, BRAND_NAME) which will be automatically replaced with their respective values during the PDF generation e.g. CUSTOMER_NAME with the name of the customer in the query and BRAND_NAME with the your brand/short name.

Multiple Bank Accounts

You can now associate multiple bank accounts (upto 4) with your brands and they will be automatically shared in the vouchers and holding emails. To add bank account(s), Admins can visit the Organization > Settings page and add the Account details from the Bank Account section in the bottom of the Organization Profile.

Non-Indian Bank Accounts

If you have bank account(s) outside India, you can now add them using the SWIFT Code with other necessary bank and branch details.

Salesperson Details in Quote PDFs

In our last update, we added functionality to associate Phone Numbers with users. In this update, we are bringing those contact details into the Quote PDFs footer section. The name and phone numbers of the salesperson will be shared in the Quote PDFs footer signature if the phone numbers have been updated in the Users section by the Admin.

Once you associate the phone number details with the Sales Person, these details will be shared in the Quote PDF's footer signature section as shown bellow.

Hotel Photos or Details Link

You can now add a link of photos (or details) to the Hotels which will be shared in the Quote PDFs. This can be helpful if you want to share more details regarding a particular hotel. To associate link to an existing hotel, click on the Edit button from its details page and add the link in the last section.

Admins can now filter and download the list of Tourists by interval of creation dates and cities from the Organization > Repository Pages.

Release Notes inside Application

With this update, you can now check the latest changes directly from your application. After you update the application, you will see a What's New button in the top navigation. Clicking on this will show the notes from latest update. You should always go through these release notes once after every update. Once you spend at least 2 minutes on this page, the highlighted What's New will go away. You can always check the latest release notes from top-right menu icon from your profile.

Future Trips in Checkout Reports

Admins can now view the future incompleted trips from the Trip Checkout Reports section using a new filter in Advanced Filter section. This allows you to view the upcoming trips for a given duration.
