Variables in Recurring Invoice Messages
Unlike normal invoices, messages that are part of an automatically sent recurring invoices cannot contain variables. However, recurring invoices saved as drafts DO support variables in their messages.

I would like to use a variable in my recurring monthly invoice for a client to have the ‘month’ show in the subject line for example something like:

Subject: Client Name – month

Where only the field marked with % is the variable the client name is typed in as it remains the same.

Can you please let me know how this is possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi Rodney — the available variables are listed in the Messages section of the Invoices > Configure page in Harvest. Unfortunately, month isn’t one of them! Thanks for letting us know you’d like to have that variable available, though. I’ll add it to our feature request list.

Thanks for you reply, I will see if I can use one of the others for now, but the ‘month’ variable would really help, thanks.

Hi Christopher, We are actually also looking for the ‘Month’ variable (possibly with the option of ‘current’ or ‘next’ month). Do you have any idea when this will be developed?

Thanks, Jurjan

We don’t officially comment on our development timelines, because we do have to change direction from time to time and we don’t want to disappoint our customers. The best place to hear about new features as they’re released is on our blog at www.getharvest.com/blog. Sorry I can’t be more specific!

+2 for a month variable!
