# Estimate & Invoice Customer Experience Overview

> See the branded email, PDF, and approval page your customer receives when you send an estimate or invoice from FieldPulse, and what you control on each.

> **Who uses this:** Your customer receives the estimate or invoice email, PDF, and approval page; an Admin sets the account-wide email defaults in **Company Settings**. **Availability:** All regions.

When you send an [estimate or invoice](https://www.fieldpulse.com/features/estimates-and-invoices) from FieldPulse, your customer receives more than a number — they get a branded experience that carries your business. This page walks through the three things your customer sees, in the order they see them, and names what you can configure on each.

## Overview

Sending an estimate or invoice from FieldPulse produces three customer-facing pieces: the email that lands in the customer's inbox, the PDF version of the record, and the approval and signature page the customer opens from the link.

Each piece is configurable. The email carries your logo and your wording, the PDF carries your theme and company information, and the approval page gives the customer a way to accept the record without creating an account.

## How it works

### The email

When you send an estimate or invoice from FieldPulse, your customer receives an email with a link to view the record. If you have added your logo in **Company Settings**, the logo displays in the email header.

### The PDF

When you send an estimate or invoice from FieldPulse, you can choose to send your customer a PDF version of the record.

* To view the PDF, open the estimate or invoice record, select **View Estimate/Invoice**, then select **PDF**.

* To send the PDF, select **Email to Customer** and toggle on **Attach Estimate/Invoice PDF**.

</Note>

### The approval and signature page

If you have requested a customer signature, the customer can approve the estimate or invoice directly from the dynamic link. The customer sees the record details and a green **Sign and Accept** button, and no account or login is required.
