Hi Cheryl, I understand that you want your customer's email to auto-populate while creating invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO). No worries, I can provide you with some workarounds to help you achieve your goal.

 

Typically, autofill features for the invoice body email in QuickBooks Online save time for all users. However, at present, only the invoice number from the subject line is auto-populated. To work around this, we can manually enter the invoice cycle and the total amount or Subtotal before sending the invoices.

 

Also, make sure that the Form numbers and Due date are checked on the Customs form style page to ensure that the information is visible on your customer's end. Here's how you can do it:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Custom form style
  2. Choose your template and hit Edit
  3. Select Content and review the setup. Then, hit Done

Once done, create a sample invoice to get a view of the appearance of the form. Follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Plus icon and select Invoice
  2. Fill out the needed information in the field.
  3. Hit the Subtotal button so it will divide your item amounts. 
  4. Click Customize and ensure you use the correct template. 
  5. Select Print and Preview
