About This Automation

Invoicing and receivables follow-up involves tracking overdue invoices, drafting reminder messages, calling customers, and reconciling payments by hand. This manual cycle repeats often and pulls time away from higher-value finance work while payment delays grow.

The automated version scans for overdue invoices, drafts and sends personalized reminders, matches incoming payments, and flags accounts that remain unpaid. This shortens the time between an invoice going overdue and a customer being contacted.

Key features
Scans open invoices automatically to identify overdue accounts.
Drafts personalized reminder messages based on customer history and risk level.
Sends reminders on a consistent schedule without manual drafting.
Matches incoming payments to open invoices automatically.
Escalates unresolved accounts to the finance team after repeated attempts.
Logs reminder and payment activity for a complete audit trail.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Daily Overdue Invoice Scantrigger

Every morning the system checks for invoices that have crossed their due date.

2. Draft Personalized Reminder

The automation writes a reminder email using the invoice details and the customer's payment history.

3. Send Reminder

Approved reminders are sent automatically from the billing inbox.

4. Manual Review Flagged Accounts

High-value or repeatedly late accounts are routed to the clerk for a personal call before any email goes out.

5. Log Reminder In Tracker

Every reminder, whether auto-sent or manually handled, is logged in the shared tracker with timestamp.

6. Reconcile Payment

Incoming payments are matched to the correct invoice and marked paid automatically.

7. Notify Collections

Invoices still unpaid after the set threshold are posted to the finance team's channel.
