Organization Settings

FlowForth lets organization administrators configure company information, billing details, branding, and e-invoicing identifiers — all from a single settings page.

Before You Begin​

You need the Organization Admin role to access organization settings. See Understanding User Roles for more information.

Accessing Organization Settings​

  1. Click Settings in the main navigation menu.
  2. Select Organization to open the settings page.

General Settings​

Configure your organization's basic identity:

FieldDescription
Organization Name (required)The name displayed throughout FlowForth
Organization SlugA unique URL-friendly identifier for your organization

Company Information​

Add your business details that appear on invoices and client-facing documents:

FieldDescription
Business NameYour registered business name
WebsiteYour organization's website URL
LogoUpload your company logo (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, or SVG)
Terms & ConditionsUpload a PDF of your terms and conditions
tip

Your logo appears on generated invoice PDFs. Upload a clear, high-resolution image for the best results.

Your Logo on Emails​

Your logo is also shown at the top of the emails FlowForth sends to your clients — invoices, credit notes, and payment reminders. Your company name appears alongside it in the opening line of the email.

Emails use your logo only when it is a PNG, JPEG or GIF file under 5 MB. SVG and WebP logos are not shown, because they do not render reliably in email clients such as Outlook. Those formats still work everywhere else in FlowForth, including on your invoice PDFs — if you want your logo on emails too, upload a PNG or JPEG version.

When no logo can be used, the email falls back to your company name as text, and the email is still sent as normal. Your company name is also in the opening line either way, so clients can tell who the email is from even if their email program blocks images.

Billing Address​

Set the address that appears on your invoices:

  • Street — Street name and number
  • Postal Code — ZIP or postal code
  • City — City name
  • Country — Select from the available countries list
  • Billing Email — Email address for billing correspondence
  • Billing Phone — Phone number for billing contact

E-Invoicing Identifiers​

If you use Peppol e-invoicing, configure these identifiers:

FieldDescription
VAT NumberYour VAT registration number (validated per country format)
Enterprise NumberYour company registration number
Peppol IDYour Peppol participant identifier

Payment Methods​

Configure the bank accounts that appear on your invoices. You can add any number of payment methods — each with its own IBAN, BIC, bank name, and EPC QR code settings — and mark one as the default for new invoices. Draft invoices and credit notes let you override the chosen method per document.

The old single IBAN/BIC fields and the EPC QR toggle that used to live directly on the organization have moved into this managed list; for organizations that only use one bank account, FlowForth keeps a single Default payment method that behaves identically to the previous setup.

See Payment Methods for the full walkthrough of adding, editing, setting the default, and archiving methods, and EPC QR Codes for how the per-method QR settings affect invoice PDFs.

Invoice Defaults​

Configure default values that are applied when creating new invoices:

SettingDescription
Default Tax CodeThe Peppol tax category code applied to new invoice line items and activities by default. You can override the tax code on individual lines when editing an invoice.
Default VAT PercentageThe VAT rate applied to new line items when the tax category is S (Standard). Defaults to 21%. When the default tax code is non-S, this is automatically set to 0% and read-only.

The available tax codes are:

CodeMeaning
S — Standard rateThe default. Standard VAT rate applies.
Z — Zero ratedVAT applies at 0%.
E — Exempt from taxNo VAT charged; an exemption reason is required on the invoice.
O — Outside scope of VATTransaction is not subject to VAT.
AE — Reverse chargeVAT is accounted for by the buyer (reverse charge mechanism).
K — Intra-community supplyZero-rated supply within the EU.
G — Export outside EUZero-rated export to a non-EU country.
info

The default tax code is set to S (Standard rate) for new organizations. Change it here if your organization primarily uses a different tax category — for example, AE (Reverse charge) if most of your clients handle VAT through reverse charge.

Default Communication Language​

The Default Communication Language section sits directly below the default tax settings. It sets the language your clients receive communications in, and the language of the invitation and password-reset emails your team members receive:

SettingDescription
Default LanguageEnglish or Dutch. Used for emails, WhatsApp messages and reminders sent to clients who don't have their own language set, and for invitation and password-reset emails.

It is saved with the same Save Billing Settings button as the default tax settings.

Which messages use it​

The organization default applies to everything FlowForth sends to a client:

  • Invoice and credit note emails
  • Payment reminders, by email and by WhatsApp
  • Scheduled WhatsApp appointment reminders and service-completed messages
  • WhatsApp messages you send by hand, and automatic replies to messages from clients

It does not change:

  • Invoice and credit note PDFs, which are currently always in English.
  • Peppol e-invoices, which are delivered through the Peppol network.

Invitation and password-reset emails​

The emails your team members receive to join FlowForth or reset their password also use this language:

  • Invitations are sent in the language of the organization that sends the invitation.
  • Password-reset emails are sent in the language of the organization the person belongs to. If they belong to several organizations that use different languages, the organization they joined first is used. If they don't belong to any active organization, the email is sent in English.

The link in the email opens the registration or reset-password page in the same language, so the person doesn't get a Dutch email followed by an English page. After that, FlowForth remembers the language in their browser until they change it themselves.

How clients inherit it​

Each client can either have its own language or use the organization default. A client that uses the organization default always follows this setting, so when you change the default from English to Dutch, every client without its own language switches to Dutch straight away. Clients with their own language are not affected.

You set a client's own language when adding a client or in the Language Preference section of the client detail page.

info

Existing organizations start with English as their default, so nothing changes until you choose otherwise. Clients that were set to English before this setting existed now use the organization default. Clients that were explicitly set to Dutch keep Dutch.

Choosing the language for a new organization​

When you create a new organization, the creation form asks for its Communication language. It is pre-selected to the language you are using FlowForth in, and you can change it later in this section.

Route Settings​

Control how the Ready for Work feature behaves across your organization:

SettingDescription
Only show Ready for Work routes on dashboardWhen enabled, routes that have not been marked as Ready for Work are hidden from the dashboard and worker schedules. Activities not assigned to any route are always shown.
Only send reminders for Ready for Work routesWhen enabled, client appointment reminders are only scheduled for activities on routes that have been marked as Ready for Work. When a route is marked ready, notifications are scheduled automatically.

Both settings default to off (disabled). When disabled, all routes appear on dashboards and all eligible activities trigger notifications, regardless of their Ready for Work status.

info

For details on the Ready for Work toggle itself, see Ready for Work.
