What Are Smart Tags?

Smart Tags are placeholders you can insert into your documents that automatically fill in with the correct information when you send them. They help you work faster, avoid manual typing, and keep your documents accurate.

When you send a document, TalleFlow will replace each Smart Tag with the actual data from your business, client, invoice, or project. This is true however you deliver the document — whether you send it by email from TalleFlow or share the hosted link. The version your client opens in the portal always shows resolved values, never placeholders.

Using Smart Tags

Adding Smart Tags

  1. In the document editor, click where you want the information to appear.
  2. Type a curly bracket { to open the Smart Tag menu.
  3. Choose the tag you want to insert (for example: {{client.full_name}}).
  4. Continue editing your document as needed.
    💡 Tip: Preview your Smart Tags in action by clicking Send to Contact, selecting a contact, clicking Done, then clicking the eye icon at the top right of the editor.

    Previewing Your Smart Tags as a Client

    You can see exactly how your document will look once the Smart Tags are replaced with real data.
    1. Click Send to Contact in the editor.
    2. Select the contact you want to send it to.
    3. Click Done.
    4. Click the eye icon at the top right of the editor to preview the document.
    This preview shows your document exactly as the client will see it, with all Smart Tags replaced by their real values.

    Types of Smart Tags

    Business Tags

    These pull details from your Business Profile:

    Client Tags

    These pull details from the contact you are sending the document to:

    Invoice Tags These pull details from the invoice in your document:

      💡 {{invoice.total}} and {{invoice.subtotal}} are available in proposals only — they won't appear in the Smart Tag menu for contracts or other document types.

      Project Tags

      These pull details from the linked project:

      Invoice Smart Tags in Proposals

      When you insert {{invoice.total}} or {{invoice.subtotal}} into a proposal, TalleFlow pulls the values from the invoice linked to that proposal.

      • In the proposal editor, these appear as tokens until you preview or send the document.
      • When you preview the proposal, the tokens are replaced with the actual invoice total and subtotal.
      • Once you send or finalize the proposal, those resolved values are locked in. If you edit the linked invoice afterward, the sent or finalized proposal will keep showing the original amounts — it won't update automatically.

      Example

      If your invoice template contains:

      Bill to: {{client.full_name}}, {{client.address}}
      Invoice #: {{invoice.number}}
      Issued: {{invoice.date_issued}}
      Due: {{invoice.due_date}}

      When sent to your client, it will look like:
      Bill to: John Smith, 123 Main Street, NY
      Invoice #: 103
      Issued: Aug 5, 2025
      Due: Aug 6, 2025

      💡Best Practices

      • Keep your business and contact information updated - accurate Smart Tags depend on accurate source data.
      • Use Smart Tags in invoices, proposals, and contracts - to save time.
      • Preview your documents before sending - to confirm all tags pull the correct data.
