Batch Emailing: Automate Customer Communications in Business Central
Many finance and sales administration teams spend a significant portion of their week manually emailing posted sales invoices, credit memos, and other customer-facing documents directly from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The Batch Emailing App helps automate this routine, ensuring consistent document distribution.
How Batch Emailing Automates the Process
The core function of the Batch Emailing App is to streamline the delivery of posted sales invoices, credit memos, and other customer documents. It moves beyond the standard Business Central functionality which typically necessitates manual emailing of each document individually.
Configuring Your Batch Emailing Profiles
The app leverages configured document sending profiles, allowing users to define specific behaviours for email delivery. These profiles act as templates ensuring consistency across all outgoing communications.
- Document Sending Profiles: Define a standard template for all outgoing customer communications.
- Customization Options: Tailor subject lines and attachment inclusion based on document type or customer segment.
- Centralized Management: Easily update email addresses, branding, and other details in one central location.
The app’s intuitive interface simplifies profile creation and management.
Date and Document Filters: Targeted Communication
The Batch Emailing App allows for targeted communication through date and document filters, ensuring that customers receive only the information they need when they need it.
- Date Filters: Target invoices or credit memos within a specified date range.
- Document Filters: Select specific document types to be included in the batch.
Scheduled Sending with Job Queues for Routine Distribution
For routine document distribution, the Batch Emailing App integrates with Business Central’s job queue functionality. This integration allows users to schedule email batches to run automatically at predetermined times.
- Job Queue Integration: Schedule batch emails to run during off-peak hours.
- Automated Scheduling: Eliminate the need for manual intervention in routine document distribution processes.
- Consistent Delivery: Ensure that customers receive documents at consistent intervals.

The Batch Emailing App provides enhanced consistency and control over customer communications, contributing to improved operational effectiveness and stronger customer relationships.
- Reduced Errors: Minimize manual data entry errors.
- Improved Consistency: Ensure consistent branding and messaging across all customer communications.
