About This Automation

Receivables chasing involves manually checking bank deposits, reconciling payments, identifying overdue invoices, and sending reminder emails. This manual process is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays cash flow visibility.

Automation matches deposits to invoices automatically, selects appropriate reminder templates based on payment history, and sends escalating reminders on schedule. The result is faster payment reconciliation, consistent follow-up, and improved cash flow.

Key features
Match incoming deposits to unpaid invoices automatically using amount, date, and client metadata
Select and send reminder emails based on invoice age and client payment history
Flag ambiguous payment matches for manual review before reconciliation
Generate daily cash flow summaries and escalation alerts for high-risk accounts
Track all reminders and payment status in a centralized log

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Invoice Due Date Passestrigger

The automation monitors all unpaid invoices. When an invoice reaches its due date or passes it, the workflow is triggered.

2. Fetch Invoice and Client Details

Retrieve the invoice record, client contact information, payment history, and any previous reminders.

3. Determine Reminder Tier

The automation evaluates how many days overdue the invoice is and whether the client has a history of late payment. It selects the appropriate reminder template (friendly first notice, firm second notice, or escalation).

4. Send Reminder Email

The automation sends the selected reminder email to the client and copies the project manager.

5. Payment Receivedtrigger

When a deposit hits the business bank account, the automation is triggered to reconcile it.

6. Match Payment to Invoice

The automation matches the deposit amount and date to the corresponding invoice using client name, amount, and timing heuristics.

7. Mark Invoice Paid

The matched invoice is automatically marked as paid with the payment date and method recorded.

8. Post Daily Summary

Each morning, the automation posts a summary to a designated channel showing payments received, invoices sent, and any overdue accounts flagged for attention.
