1. Why does the email show the salesperson as the sender?
Because in the email template, the From field is set to the Salesperson by default.
✅ To fix this:
- Go to Settings → Technical → Email → Templates .
- Open the template (for invoices it is usually Invoice: Sending ).
- In the field , you will see something like:
${(object.invoice_user_id.email_formatted or object.company_id.email_formatted or user.email_formatted)}
Here, object refers to the current record (invoice, sales order, etc.).
You can replace or extend this with any other field you prefer, for example:
Plain Text
${user.email_formatted}
→ sends from the logged-in user.
Plain Text
${object.custom_sender_field}
→ sends from a custom field if you have one on the model.
2. Why does the email go to 3 people instead of only one?
Because the email template is sending to all followers of the document (they are automatically added in the chatter).
✅ To fix this:
- Go to the document (Invoice / Sales Order) → open the Chatter panel on the right-hand side → under Followers , remove the extra people you don't want.
