About This Automation

Recurring billing requires pulling daily renewal lists, checking payment methods, sending reminders, and charging subscribers one account at a time. When charges fail, staff track retries and follow-ups in disconnected spreadsheets and inboxes, causing delays and missed revenue.

An automated version pulls renewals, validates cards, sends reminders, charges accounts, and retries failures without manual tracking. Successful charges post to the ledger and trigger a receipt automatically, so subscribers stay current with less oversight.

Key features
Pull the daily renewal list and flag payment methods at risk of decline
Send reminder emails automatically before each charge attempt
Charge subscriptions and retry failed payments on a set schedule
Escalate repeated failures to a person only when automatic retries are exhausted
Update account status and post successful charges to the ledger automatically
Deliver receipts and confirmations the moment a charge clears

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Subscription Renewal Duetrigger

Flags each subscriber account as its recurring billing date arrives.

2. Attempt Renewal Charge

Renewal & Retry Automation verifies the payment method, sends the reminder, and charges the subscription, retrying automatically up to three times on decline.

3. Escalate Failed Payment To Billing Manager

If every automatic retry fails, the billing manager calls the customer directly and logs the outcome.

4. Reconcile Payment And Update Account

Billing Reconciliation updates the subscriber's status and posts the reconciled entry.

5. Send Renewal Receipt

Sends the customer a confirmation receipt once the charge and reconciliation are complete.
