Email Templates - Create your own custom placeholders
Create your own placeholders for email templates - For example, I want to create a new placeholder for the previous month.

Hi Kirsty, having looped in with the team this placeholder is not something that has been developed in new invoicing and isn't on the immediate plans at present.
For the time being, you'll be able to use the shortcut shared in classic invoicing. We'll re-open the idea to continue building traction in this here and I'll update you if there is any progress surrounding placeholders that'd help here.

Not having the placeholders in new invoicing and not having it planned is ridiculous

[Month-1] will not work with the new invoicing, could this please be added.

A number of our customers have outstanding invoices that are overdue by one or two months.
I'd like to send a mass email to these customers, attaching their Statements of Account (SOAs) and indicating the total amount owed for the past two months.
It would be helpful if we could use placeholders in the email to dynamically display the total outstanding amount based on the Aged Receivables Summary report.
Example:
[2 months Outstanding Statement Balance]
OR [1 months Outstanding Statement Balance]
OR [3 months Outstanding Statement Balance]Additionally, we should be able to format the email by bolding and highlighting specific words.

Custom placeholders in both the invoice and email templates would be a incredibly worthwhile feature to add. We're a digital marketing company and use several programs with this feature and it greatly increases efficiency and saves time, particularly when used in conjunction with custom fields.

You can! By using [month-1] . Just use the month placeholder and type the -1 yourself! I use it all the time!
