About This Automation

Recurring contract billing requires manually reviewing contract calendars, retrieving terms, calculating amounts, and creating invoices in the accounting system. This repetitive work consumes hours each week and introduces errors when contracts have special terms or discounts.

Automated recurring contract billing pulls contract data automatically, calculates invoice amounts based on rates and adjustments, and creates invoices in the accounting system without manual intervention. Invoices are sent on time, errors drop sharply, and the team focuses only on exceptions.

Key features
Automatically identify contracts due for billing based on the contract calendar
Retrieve and validate contract terms to ensure accuracy before invoice creation
Calculate invoice amounts including rates, usage multipliers, discounts, and taxes
Create and send invoices directly to clients from the accounting system
Log billing events and track client responses for follow-up and reporting
Flag exceptions and missing contract data for manual review

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Contract Billing Date Reachedtrigger

The automation runs daily at 6 AM to check for contracts with billing dates due today or overdue.

2. Fetch Active Contracts

Query the contract database or spreadsheet to pull all active contracts and their billing schedules.

3. Validate Contract Data

The automation checks that all required fields (client, rate, frequency, tax code) are present and current, flagging any missing or outdated data.

4. Calculate Invoice Amount

The automation applies the contract rate, usage multipliers, and tax rules to compute the final invoice amount.

5. Create Invoice

A workflow action creates a new invoice with the client, amount, line items, and due date.

6. Send Invoice via Email

The invoice is automatically emailed to the client from the configured sender address.

7. Log Billing Event

A notification is posted confirming the invoice was sent, with the client name and amount.
