How do you create visually stunning proposals using Zoho Books/Invoice/CRM?

How do you create visually stunning proposals using Zoho Books/Invoice/CRM?

Hey guys,
I've been using a tool called NiftyQuoter to create proposals for the last few months. I really like it because proposals look terrific out of the box, you can see when a client opens the proposal, clients can approve them and pay online, you can add photos and a individualised blurb for each project, the product has great support etc. I set it up for one of my clients and they like it too but are concerned about the cost as they scale and also don't like the lack of integration with Zoho CRM. They asked me if there was a way to create proposals that look like they came out of Nifty Quoter using Zoho Books/Zoho Invoice/Zoho CRM. 

The templates I've seen in Zoho Books/Invoice don't look that great and don't really allow you to add a customised blurb to each proposal without creating a separate template for each customer which is super time consuming. I've seen an output from Zoho CRM which does seem to allow a customised blurb (I guess via a rich text field in the Quotes module) but doesn't allow open rate tracking or online payment.

Anyone have other suggestions? If not, is this in the pipeline for Zoho Books/Invoice?

          • How to Add Users to your Organization in ZohoMail?

            A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk)  In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only.  The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
