Update: New Shortcodes! Automate, Simplify, and Reduce Errors

Before you read…

Printavo is simple shop management software. We help you streamline your business, keep jobs moving forward and your team on the same page.

Scheduling, quoting, approvals, payments, customer communication, automation and more. With Printavo, you’ll work smarter–not harder.

For our first Hackathon, I wanted to add more shortcodes.

We’ve seen shops implement so many interesting automations with the few shortcodes we already had – it was clear that shortcodes are tremendously valuable.

Shortcodes pull dynamic content from Printavo about invoices and customer details. Instead of writing a client’s company name, John’s Lanscaping for example, you enter a shortcode like:

[customer-company-name]

The shortcode above would become “John’s Landscaping” on any Printavo communications or messages.

These shortcodes dramatically simplify common repetitive tasks and copy/paste procedures – and reduce keying errors.

To access shortcodes:

  • Open a Printavo Invoice.
  • Click on Messages 
  • Reference shortcodes at any time by clicking Using Shortcodes below the Messages form
