About This Automation

Invoicing and payment tracking at repair shops involves manually entering job details into accounting software, sending invoices, and chasing overdue payments. This repetitive work consumes hours each week and delays cash flow.

Automation reads completed work orders and generates invoices instantly, monitors payment status daily, and alerts the owner to overdue accounts. Invoices reach customers the same day, and payment tracking happens without manual intervention.

Key features
Automatically create invoices from completed work orders with all job details and customer information
Send invoices to customers via email on the same day work is completed
Track payment status daily and identify overdue invoices without manual checking
Alert the owner to invoices past due so follow-up happens consistently
Reconcile payments automatically when they arrive in the bank account

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Work Order Marked Completetrigger

The automation is triggered when a work order status changes to completed or the shop's system.

2. Extract Job Details

The automation reads the completed work order and extracts customer name, job description, parts, labour hours, and rates.

3. Create Invoice in QuickBooks

The automation creates a new invoice with the extracted details, automatically populating all fields.

4. Generate Invoice PDF

The automation generates the invoice as a PDF from QuickBooks.

5. Send Invoice

The automation sends the invoice PDF to the customer's email address with a standard payment request message.

6. Log Invoice to Tracking Sheet

The automation records the invoice number, customer name, amount, and due date tracking sheet.

7. Post Overdue Alert

Daily, the automation checks for invoices overdue by 15+ days and posts a summary alert for the owner to review and follow up manually.
