About This Automation

Recurring contract billing requires pulling usage figures, calculating charges, applying discounts, and issuing invoices for every client contract entering a new cycle. Doing this by hand invites calculation errors, delayed invoices, and missed follow-up on late payments.

The automated version pulls contract and usage data directly, calculates the correct charge with discounts and proration applied, and drafts the invoice for review. It also tracks payment status and prepares reminders automatically, so cycles close faster and with fewer errors.

Key features
Pulls current contract terms and usage data without manual lookup
Calculates billing amounts including discounts and proration automatically
Drafts invoices with correct line items ready for a quick review
Tracks payment status against each open invoice
Prepares overdue payment reminders without manual drafting
Reconciles confirmed payments against invoices to close out the cycle

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Contract Renewal Date Reachedtrigger

Detects the contract entering its billing cycle and starts the billing workflow automatically.

2. Billing Calculation Drafts Invoice

The automation pulls current seat counts and usage, applies contract rates, discounts, and proration, and creates a draft invoice.

3. Billing Admin Reviews And Sends Invoice

A billing admin does a final check on the draft invoice and sends it to the client directly.

4. Log Invoice

Once sent, the invoice record and amount sync back automatically to the client's contract for a full audit trail.

5. Payment Reconciliation Monitors

The automation watches for incoming payments and matches them to the open invoice in real time.

6. Send Late Payment Reminder

If the invoice is unpaid past its due date, a reminder email goes out automatically with the balance and a payment link.

7. Reconcile Payment

Once payment clears, it is matched to the invoice and the billing cycle is marked closed.
