Admin - Email templates: attach documents that send automatically

Sending the same document with an email, i.e. a fact sheet, a checklist, a privacy form, meant attaching it manually each time. And it could be easy to forget on a busy day. 

What’s changed 

You can now attach documents directly to an email template, so are automatically included with every email using that template: 

  • Attach one or more documents from your document library, in the order you choose, up to 20 MB total per template. 
  • The documents are attached to every email using that template, including manual sends, mail merges and auto-actions. 
  • The template will always send the latest version. Update the document in your library and the newest version will be included. If the document is removed from the library, it’s simply skipped. 

Why it matters 

The right documents are sent every time, consistently, without you having to remember to attach them. One setup step saves a small task on every send. 

Where to find it 

The Attachments tab is available on an open email template: 

Admin > Settings > Email Templates > Attachments 

Choose Attach, select your documents from the library, set the order with the up/down arrows, and save. Most standard templates support attachments; invitation templates (Client Centre, questionnaire, DocCentre) and DocuSign/DigiSign templates don’t.

DocIQ: Document names that match your files

Document naming in DocIQ is designed to help keep files consistent and easy to manage. Based on feedback, improvements have been made to better align with your file naming conventions and administrative workflows.

What’s changed

  • A no-comma name format: Allows client names to appear as Smith John instead of Smith, John
  • Consistent capitalisation: Client names are normalised to a consistent case. This prevents formatting from source documents, such as ALL CAPS names on identity documents, carrying through into file names.
  • A reliable financial-year token: The existing {financialYear} token now consistently renders in the format FY25-26 A new {calendarFinancialYear} token has also been added, rendering as FY26 Variations in messy source formats are handled automatically.
  • Shorter names for SharePoint:To help manage document length, particularly for SharePoint environments, additional naming options have been introduced, including:
    • Abbreviated lender names
    • Client initials
    • First name only
    • Last name only
    • DD/MM/YY date formatting
  • Consistent admin and broker settings: The brokerage-admin configurator now mirrors the options available to brokers., meaning brokerage-wide defaults will behave exactly as expected
  • Editing in Review keeps your settings: When editing information within the DocIQ Review screen, document names will now continue to follow your configured (or inherited) naming preferences rather than reverting to default formatting.

Why it matters

Greater flexibility and consistency when working with automatically generated document names. Whether you're managing files individually or setting naming standards across a brokerage, document names can now be configured to better align with your existing filing conventions while remaining concise and consistent.

Where to find it

Brokers:
Opportunity > Attachments > Upload > Document Name Configurator

Brokerage admins:
Mercury Nexus Admin > CRM Settings > DocIQ Naming

DocIQ: Sharper document reading and bigger uploads

A number of updates have been made to improve how DocIQ processes documents and handles uploads.

Better reading of rotated documents

  • Rotated or sideways scans can sometimes affect both readability and data extraction. DocIQ now automatically detects page orientation and rotates documents where required before processing, while leaving correctly oriented pages unchanged.
  • Images uploaded sideways, particularly those shared through mobile devices or messaging apps, can sometimes lose orientation information. DocIQ now corrects image orientation before reading the document, helping improve the accuracy of extracted data.

Increased upload limits

  • The maximum upload size for document attachments has been increased from 20MB to 30MB. Please note email attachments remain subject to a 20MB limit.

DocIQ: Automatically save every upload as a PDF

ApplyOnline requires document attachments in PDF format, so managing documents meant converting files before uploading. Depending on whether you uploaded them directly, allocated them from the Inbox, or a client sent them through the portal, the process could produce inconsistent results. 

What’s changed

A new Save uploaded files as PDF setting can be enabled to automatically convert documents to PDF wherever they enter DocIQ:

  • Files uploaded directly, including Word, Excel and image formats (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .jpg, .jpeg, .png and .tiff), while retaining the original file name.
  • Word and Excel attachments allocated from the Inbox. Previously, only PDFs and image files were converted through this workflow.
  • Documents uploaded by clients through the Client Portal, which previously did not support automatic conversion.

The conversion process runs in the background and does not impact the client experience. If a file cannot be converted, it will still upload successfully and a clear notification will be displayed.

We've also resolved an issue affecting the preview and download of client-uploaded documents where file names were not displaying correctly.

Why it matters

One setting, and every document lands as a PDF, ready for ApplyOnline, however they were received. No manual converting, and no guessing which upload path keeps the format. This gives you a more consistent document workflow across DocIQ.

Where to find it

The Save uploaded files as PDF toggle is available within the Document Name Configurator:

Opportunity > Attachments > Upload

The setting is set to off by default. Set it to on.

Brokerage admins can also configure it as the default setting for their business under:

Mercury Nexus Admin > CRM Settings > DocIQ Naming

This default will apply to brokers who have not set their own preference.

DocIQ Naming Reflected in the New Client Portal

Keeping client documents organised just got easier.

If your DocIQ naming conventions are configured, those settings will now automatically carry through to documents sent by your clients via the Client Portal.

Note: To ensure documents are renamed as expected, make sure each document request uses the correct classification. For example, a payslip uploaded to a Payslip request will inherit your configured naming convention. If a different document, such as an ID, is uploaded instead, it will be flagged for review in the Review Returned Docs screen.

Keep Document Naming Consistent Across Your Organisation

Based on member feedback, DocIQ can now be configured in the Admin App so administrators can set document naming conventions once and automatically apply them across all users in the organisation.

This means you can keep document naming consistent across your team, while reducing the time spent managing settings user by user.
