Letters produced, from drafting to sending

An official letter still comes out of a word processor too often, with the address retyped by hand from Odoo and the letterhead caught up from one version to the next.

Here the letter brings together the sender, a recipient drawn from your contacts, the date, the salutation, the body and the closing. It takes a reference on finalisation, and at that moment the recipient's name and address freeze as they stood that day: an address corrected next year does not rewrite the letter that went out.

Three objects prepared in advance do most of the work. A template carries a standard subject and body with merge fields replaced by the recipient's values. A text block is a reusable paragraph, filed by category and recalled by a shortcut. The letterhead decides the dressing of the page, from a dark banner to paper already printed.

⚠️ The dressing is locked. The author picks the layout, never the colours or the logo, and each company on the instance issues its letters in its own image. That is the only way correspondence stays recognisable when ten people write it.
