How this automation works
Send FreshBooks invoice details directly to your Email. When you start an iOS Shortcuts automation, the Applet asks FreshBooks for the invoice ID you configure and sends an HTML email with the key invoice fields. Great for quickly sharing, archiving, or reviewing invoices from FreshBooks via Siri Shortcuts and Email. Customize the message to fit your tone.
