E-mailing in TallyPrime

With TallyPrime, you can not only store your business data but also share it in a jiffy with the desired audience. Your business data will be saved in the form of masters and transactions, and tracked in the form of reports. You can easily e-mail the required information.

For example, you can e-mail the reports daily to a pre-defined audience, who might be stakeholders inside or outside your company. You can do this by using the e-mail account created for you with the company domain. The best part is that you don’t have to type your e-mail ID and the e-mail IDs of the recipients every time. Moreover, you don’t have to move out of your ongoing work in TallyPrime to e-mail reports. You can very well do it from the screen in which you are working.
