Placeholders in texts and emails
A placeholder is a word between two percent signs, such as %company_name%. UNENO replaces it with the matching value — in the PDF when the document is produced, in the email when it’s sent. That way the same text fits every document.
Under Texts & Emails they’re in the Placeholders (PDF) and Placeholders (Email) cards above the texts they work in — in the editors under Available placeholders. Click the icon next to one to copy it.
In the document texts
Section titled “In the document texts”| Placeholder | Fills in | For |
|---|---|---|
%company_name% | your company name | all |
%due_date% | the due date | invoices |
%due_days% | the number of days until payment is due | invoices |
%delivery_date% | the delivery date | invoices |
%service_period% | the service period, such as 01.11.2026 – 30.11.2026 | invoices |
%service_period_start%, %service_period_end% | start and end of the service period | invoices |
%valid_until% | the validity date | quotes |
%invoice_number%, %invoice_date% | number and date of the cancelled invoice | cancellation invoices |
If a placeholder is empty, its whole line is left out. If an invoice has no service period, the default text’s line Billing for the period from %service_period_start% to %service_period_end% isn’t printed at all. So put such details on a line of their own.
In the emails
Section titled “In the emails”| Placeholder | Fills in | For |
|---|---|---|
%company_name% | your company name | all |
%customer_name% | the customer’s name | all |
%document_number% | the document’s number | all |
%document_date% | the document’s date | all |
%short_document_date% | the document’s month and year, such as 10.2026 | all |
%total% | the total amount with currency | all |
%due_date% | the due date | invoices |
%valid_until% | the validity date | quotes |
%invoice_number% | the cancelled invoice’s number | cancellation email |
- In the cancellation email,
%document_number%is the cancellation invoice’s number and%invoice_number%the original invoice’s. In the quote withdrawal email,%document_number%is the quote’s number. - In emails the line stays when a placeholder is empty — only the value is missing.
Document text or email — not both
Section titled “Document text or email — not both”Each part only fills in its own placeholders. %total% works in the email, but in a PDF’s opening text it then appears literally as “%total%”. The same goes the other way for %delivery_date% or %due_days% in an email. So use the placeholders listed above the card you’re editing.
