Permalink — Share a Link

Generate a shareable link for any estimate, invoice, or job. Copy the link and send it through WhatsApp, text message, email, or any platform you prefer.

What Is a Permalink

A permalink is a permanent URL that links directly to your estimate, invoice, or job. When someone opens the link, they see the document in their browser — no account or login required.

🔗

Permanent Link

Once created, the link stays active. You can share it now or come back to it later.

📱

Works Everywhere

The link works on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. No app installation needed.

💬

Any Messaging Platform

Paste the link into WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook Messenger, or any platform your client uses.

Create a Permalink

  1. Open your estimate, invoice, or job

    Navigate to the document you want to share.

  2. Open the menu

    Tap the menu button and select Permalink...

  3. Tap Create

    The permalink dialog opens. If this is the first time sharing this document, tap Create to generate the link. If a link was already created before, it appears automatically.

  4. Copy the link

    Tap Copy to copy the URL to your clipboard. You can now paste it anywhere.

Note: You must save the document before creating a permalink. The option is disabled for new, unsaved documents.

Share the Link

After copying the permalink, paste it into any app or platform to share the document with your client.

💬

WhatsApp or Text

Paste the link into a WhatsApp message or SMS. Your client taps the link to view the document instantly.

📩

Email

Paste the link into any email client. This is useful if you prefer sending from your own email address rather than GetCost's built-in email.

📱

Social Media

Share the link on Facebook, LinkedIn, or other social platforms to showcase your work.

Tip: The link opens a clean, professional view of your document with your business logo and style. It's a great way to impress clients.

Privacy

Important: Anyone with the link can view the document. Only share the permalink with people you trust.

What viewers can see

When someone opens the permalink, they see the same information your client would see — the document details, items, totals, and your business information. They cannot edit or delete anything.
